I've definitely been thinking this about the prime, actually.

My general thoughts since last I posted is that I still want to buy EF lenses, rather than EF-S, and that I'm not sure I would use something that's 24-X or 28-X except if I had a full frame camera (at least, not as a walk around lens). So with this in mind, I think I would buy such a lens at the same time as I bought a full frame camera (hope this makes sense).

So, my question then is still which lens to get to replace my 18-55 in the mean time (and something that will work on a full frame camera should I get one in the future). The 17-40 and 16-35 spring to mind; the 16-35 being very tempting (and also expensive).
