Without gate crashing this thread, I also enjoy taking landscapes and have decided to sell my Canon 17-85 to upgrade to better landscape lense.
I have been really torn between the 17-35 L series lense or the 10-22 ES lense as mentioned in this thread.
Given that my camera is a 40D with a cropped sensor I want as close to 17 as possible on the wide end so the 10-22 works out nearly spot on. The 17-35 becomes nearer 26-64 from memory.
Does anyone have experience with both of these lenses and if so which would you most likely opt for given its main use as landscape.
They can both be bought for about the same price so it just comes down to which is best for the job.
Also, I assume the 10-22 is not classed as a fisheye lense. I cannot see anything indicating this despite being able to get some rather interesting results if too close taking a portrait.
I dont really want out of shape landscapes.

Cheers in advance, hope this is not hijacking too much but it seemed silly to post a new post given that this one is more or less on the same topic.
