> The EF-S 17-85mm IS would seem to be close to your dream? What I can't predict now is "what's the future of the EF-S format?"
If "consumer" - by which I mean $1000 - full frame SLR's have become available in the wake of the "5" a few things could happen. Certainly, die-hards like me (who don't like being TOLD I don't need full frame (customer is always right and all that) might now make the switch. People (customers - including the olf die-hards) could suddenly realise the advantages of a smaller format and the "full frame age" be relatively short lived. Smaller sensors = lighter cameras. That's a long way up there. I don't think even Canon can predict which evolutionary fork will prevail. Maybe we'll all just abandon SLRs and buy phones insted? I do find it hard to believe both will survive side by side for ever more ... Come to think of it, there's something distinctly unpleasant about walking round a zoo with two house bricks hanging from a strap round your neck ...
