Yup, this is the lens I am saving up for now. Previously I have been seriously thinking about getting the older 24-70mm f2.8L, but realize that this lens will be a typical carry around lens meaning that IS will be very handy too. So I'd rather loose one stop of light and gain 2-3 faster shutterspeed steps instead on this new lens. From the reviews this lens is very sharp wide open too, meaning that it would do excellently as a portrait lens too. It is also the perfect zoom for a full frame camera if I ever can afford the new Canon 5D camera. My 17-40mm is actually 27mm on my 1.6 crop 20D, and I have kinda gotten used to that being my "landscape" wideangle. On a fullframe the new lenses 24mm will be even better, and even more a typical walkaround lens. Just have to start saving up some money now! :)
