EF 17-40 f/4L: I am in a quandary!
Many of you know that I have been downsizing my equipment to reduced the weight I carry, e.g., 17-40 instead of 16-35; 70-300 instead of 70-200 + two TCs.
At the same time I am about to add back some weight with a 24mm TS-E.
My quandary is that I have the 24-105; therefore the 17-40 only adds 17-23 to my kit.
I did find that a significant amount of the time when using various SR filters I was using the 16-35 in the 24 +- range.
Realistically, I can only use the 17-23 without a lot of added filters, e.g., I could use a screw-on SR Warming PL and HH a SR Grad.
How often do you use the 17-23 range with and without filters?
Thanks for your advice on whether to keep or return the 17-40.
FYI, I bought the 17-40 from Adorama; they have a wonderful "No questions asked" 30-day return policy. Subject of a different thread.
In this particular case I have not taken a shot with the 17-40.
