After a week long test of a number of different lens and doing lots of shooting with them, I opted for the 24mm...and the MkI, at that. Thanks for all the comments!

My camera's not FF (40D) but I've tended only to own EF lenses. Sigma's 30/1.4 is "DC" which obviously isn't. Though, that is a nice combo...if more money that I have available!! I hadn't looked at the 35/1.4 - again, was thinking in my head it wasn't a big enough difference to the 50/1.8 in...

OK, up front, I know this a nice dilemma to have, but regardless I'd definitely appreciate any input. I'm looking at purchasing either: Canon 16-35/2.8L II, or Canon 24/1.4L II and I'm not sure which to opt for. The obvious pros/cons are: 16-35 is wider 24 is faster (good for...

Over summer I sold up my 350D and got a 40D. All in, I'm very glad with the move - I'm actually using the camera more for no reason other than the fact it's more enjoyable to operate. With the 40D you'll find the bigger body easier to handle (at least I did), you'll find the viewfinder info...
