>Now it appears that an EF-S17-85 is around 650EUR while the 17-40L is around 700. So where's the cost saving for the customer? Ok, the former has IS, but the latter is L and can also be used on 24x36,
And the former has a 5x zoom while the latter has a 2.35x zoom. So a second lens is required to cover the same range. The 17-85 and the 75-300 will cover the range that most people desire. With the 17-40 at least 3 lenses would be required to cover the same range. This should represent a cost savings to the customer.
