Here is my question,i dont use my 10-22 very often, ive had a offer to swop me for a 17-40 f/4 L if i decided to swop is it a good deal or not any thoughts appreciated thanks...Ray

I have both lenses, two different uses. 10-22 is more of a creative lens, the 17-40 is a great ultra wide lens with very very little distortion if any.

That depends entirely if you get more use out of the 17-40 than you do the 10-22. If you are not using the 10-22 then why not go for it. The difference in cost initially is around £70 with the 17-40L being more expensive.

Why should a big lens bother you? Personally I would be more interested in image quality than how it looks mounted........mind you, I have to say that as I use the 24-70 f/2.8L and 70-200 f/2.8L IS on a 350D with grip

Yes i have grips steve so i dont think it should look too large...Ray

[Whipspeed]

the 17-40 is not that huge, so shouldn't look too big on the 400D. I've just bought the 17-40 second hand from a camera shop and it's a good lens.

does it matter what it looks like or do u care more for what other people think than what you are getting as a result! ?

I'd strap a hippo onto the end of my camera if it got me good images!!

Who cares what it looks like Ray, if it's what you want then go for it

AS YOU TEND TO DO A LOT OF LANDSCAPE SHOTS RAY, DO YOU THINK IT MIGHT BE
BETTER TO KEEP THE 10MM - 20MM LENS

[ray]

Im thinking you might be right woody, the potential swop is OFF the 17-40 had a marked lens

[WOODY]

RAY, THAT'S WHY I ALWAYS PUT FILTERS ON MY LENSES. I THINK YOU HAVE MADE
THE RIGHT DECISION IN KEEPING YOUR 10MM - 20MM LENS. I THINK YOU WOULD
HAVE REGRETTED IT AFTER.
