...be used on all the Canon bodies. My friend had an EF-S 10-22mm but this became redundant when he upgraded his body from a 20D to a 5D.
Build Quality
-------------------
This lens is well up there on the build quality, having all the great hall marks of the L Series - great optics, solid construction, low distortion, constant aperture at any focal length and weather-proofing courtesy of o-ring seals on the body join and a non-extending barrel when ... ...the series, this is a very compact and light weight unit and the controls are very slick with a great feel to the zoom ring and full-time manual focus ring (so you can use it to adjust focus even when in AF mode).
The front element does not rotate when focussing so you can use filters easily.
One beef I had was that you don't get a lens shade with this lens as standard. The 24-105 and 70-200 by comparision do come with a shade. Even though the ...

If you use a full frame body such as the Canon 5D, this lens gives a massive field of view.
This is about the best lens money can buy for landscapes and wide angle shots. You simply can't go wrong with this lens. Highly Recommended. ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: helpful Review of Canon EF L USM wide-angle zoom lens - 17 - 40mm F/4.0
Advantages: Good quality glass, top spec consrtuction. Disadvantages: Maybe price, but not as expensive as the f2.8
...only just started using the Canon 17-40, but it looks and feels very competent, and the images are lovely, lots of contrast.
I would have liked the 17-35 f2.8L lens of course, but there's the little fact of a few hundred quid more, even for a second hand example, so I've settled for an f stop less, not much on a wide lens, I will probably be using a tripod much of the time anyway.
Never having owned a Canon L lens before (exept the built in one ... ...am imressed by the small touches, like the rubber 'o ring' on the lens bayonet that seals against the camera lens mount to keep out moisture and dust, I also like the smooth zoom action, easy to use with finger tips. The lens isn't actually as heavy as I had expected, and the casing seems to be plastic, not metal, but I'm comparing it with my Sigma 24-70 f2.8 which is a big heavy lens !
