General purpose, wedding, portret lens for 1.6 crop body!

I totally agree with this response. I use my 17-55 F2.8 on a 40D for weddings and it's my main lens. I back it up with both the 85 F1.8 and the 50 F1.4 for moody candids in low light but the workhorse is the 17-55. It is the sharpest zoom in this range I've ever used including the 17-40 F4L, the 24-105L and the 16-35 F2.8L.

Interesting responses. I personally can't stand not having a range of 100mm for weddings, I feel way to limited, also shooting at f/4 is never a problem for me. I have a 100mm f/2.8 and a 50mm f/1.8 in my bag ready to use on an old 350D incase I need it, or I have an assistant with me.
But hey, each to their own, its what works for the individual that matters right?!
