ermm... u are comparing apple and orange leh. both different focal length how to compare?
u can only compare 24-40mm for both lens
anyway i dun think both will be different by too much.
17-40 - small bro
24-105 - big bro
70-200 - big big bro
get all u get a complete family. lol

ermm u sure? i am a 17-40 + 5MKII user also as far as i know from 24mm onwards, the distortion is not as bad as u described.
i just want to know which one is sharper and can use for General purpose and landscape photography...
if u are not particular about wide angle, 24-105 will be suitable. but if u want wide angle... sorry, 24-105 is not wide enough on 7D (with the 1.6 crop factor).
anyway for me i rarely go beyond 50mm (my 85 is very underused!)
cos i am not the sort to 'zoom' into that far.
i believe in walking nearer or further to the subject. so my 35mm is my best friend haha
how come the sensor type become a factor of lens issue???:think:
5D2 is using CMOS sensor, so you're already using it on a CMOS sensor...:dunno:
My take would be that, if you're doing landscape photography, I think its best to use the 17-40L. I believe that it doesn't matter if its a cropped sensor or a full frame although yes there is a difference. But don't worry too much about the technical details. Focus on actually TAKING the picture.
you're not wrong, yes 5D is FF...
im asking for the CMOS thing, how does it affect the lens flaw or barrel distortion? :think:
Hi TS,
If you read the above links you would be able see the barrel distortion among other things.......
17-40 mm do not have IS but does it have any effect on the pictures??n how does it perform on 7D without IS??
17-40 no need IS. Its very light and hence handshake very seldom occurs. Unless your hands shakes alot.
You can shoot landscape with any lens, it's just how far back you need to move and what is "practical". On a crop body, 24 is a challenge in some cases.
I want to buy another lens but im not sure which lens to buy...the 17-40mm or 24-105mm....I take landscape photography and some time take street photography.I don't like carry so much lens in my bag.
