Do it!


As much as the 17-40 is an L with weather sealing and such, IMO the 17-55 is just as good optically and while I'm not encouraging you to stand outside with it during a storm, anything can take a few drops of rain [:P]. The 17-55 seems like it was the lens they forgot to add L to in the name, that's how great it is. I always liked the focal length of the kit lens from when i got my XSi and I've borrowed the 17-55 from my friend a few times and am hugely impressed by the quality of it.


Your other option would be to give me the 17-40mm and I'll sell it and get the 17-55mm! [A] Haha. Happy selling!
