I need to hold off on getting some stuff, because Christmas is gonna clean me out. But, again, I've been in so much situations where a super-wide would have been optimal.

Yeah.. i love super wide pics!! i'd rather get L quality.. why not get the 70-200mm L IS

Here's a couple of 17mm wide pics:

That's about $600 more for "L" IS

... Which could go to another piece of glass I want, like the Canon 100mm 1:1 Macro... or a new exhaust, or...

The more I think about it, the more ideas I get.

I've read alot of of good things about the IQ of the 70-300 IS though, where tests claim it aproaches or equals the L equivalent. Build quality, and IF are another thing though. Shoot, maybe I should get a part-time job at Mickey Ds and save up for that 70-200 L IS.
