I have a 20d and have been recently researching the 17-40L. I do have a very nice copy of the kit lens though. Thanks again! Thanks for posting your test results.

I just wanted to point out that Canon seems to have changed the 18-55mm kit lens when releasing the 350D/RebelXT. The one you tested is the "Mark I" version that came with the 300D/Rebel, right? Supposedly (according to the review on dpreview.com) the "Mark II" has sharpened up the edges at 18mm in exchange for making the lens less sharp at f8, as I recall. Anyway, this is the Mark I version you tested, right? Regards, Tim Will,

I'm personally blown away by the total lack of appreciation by the people who left comments. I know it took a lot of time and effort to create this page. I admit, I would like to have seen the mm to mm comparison and same with aperature to aperature. However, it's not your personal responsibilty to the world to do such detailed comparisons. I thank you again for your unselfish contribution to the photography world. As for the rest of you, you should be ashamed of yourselves. Gary Will,

Anyone did a test of 18-55 vs. 17-40L at its edges, ie: at 18mm and 4.0 and 40mm and 4.0? I personally have the 17-40L, which I bought right away with the 350d (without having the 18-55 before), but now consider selling it off to get a faster prime ie. 28 1.8 and would then need to complement it with a 18-55 for the wide angle. Great comparison.

I only have the kit lens now, but i'm waiting on the new EF-S 17-55mm f2.8 IS lens to come out. Although I have been looking at this 17-40mm L for quite some time now. Thanks for the comparison.
