Thank you all so much, it never was going to be an easy choice. I’m looking at the sixteen hundred dollar mark (Ozzie dollars) so hence why I want to get it right. I appreciate all of your comments and input, it does help. Just one question for Sean to help me a bit more mate. (I have followed and love your work so I’m particularly intrigued) What was your preference towards the EF-S 17-55 f/2.8 IS over the 24-70 f/2.8 L. Thank you all once again Scott
