Second that. Its the most versatile of all the lenses.
But if you had the option, and want to cover everything on a 400D,
24L or 35L, 17-55 f2.8, 70-200 f4 L and a 10-22mm. :thumbsup:

yes... thats one of the best setup available for travel especially the 10-22..
covers a very very very nice wide angle..
can also open it up with a
85L 16-35L and 70-200 f2.8 IS L....
I brought my 10-22, 17-55 f2.8, 50mm f1.4, 55-250 IS + 580EX.
Left my 70-200 f2.8IS at home, too heavy to carry around.
Already, my gear weighted 6kg. Will be quite tiring if you carry more and need to walk long distances
17-55 gets the most use, but 10-22 & a tele required for specific situations.

WOW!:bigeyes: so may lens you got there...
i have exactly the same gears as yours a couple of months ago.
but i ditched off 17-85IS, 18-55IS, & 400D for 40D.
but i would second others for 17-55.:thumbsup: with a little foot work, you can beat 17-85 in terms of range but its unbeatable zoom lens at night.:thumbsup:
goodluck on your trip.

that so doesn't help me much.
What i wanted to know is if anyone has both these or have traveled with these lenses?
alternatively a 85 might replace the 135.
any opinions?

i bring 17-55mm, the best optics to get the best quality photos.

same combo!:thumbsup:
I like to use this combination when I travel with family, especially in crowded places.
If on a dedicated photo taking trip, I'd bring my 17-40 + 70-200 + 35L + 100M(optional).
TOTALLY agreed! This is the main workhorse for me. Covers about 90% of my shots.
It's almost always accompanied by the 10-22.
Sometimes, I will bring the 70-200 f/4 IS... but that's rare and only when I am NOT going on an extensive trekking trip. :bsmilie:
Hm supposing limited to < $1k lenses for trip use, so no 17-55 or 17-40L. Is it worth replacing a 18-55 non-IS with stuff like,
ef-s 17-85 IS+USM
ef-s 18-55 IS/USM
tamron 17-50 f/2.8
Is the IS at such focal range worth getting? Or better off getting a 55-250 and 50 1.8 for low light emergencies? Or splurge on only a UWA?

IS is ALWAYS good to have. I will pick the Tamron if I am on a budget, just because f/2.8 gives you better control in your depth of field. But remember (i) to check for decentered elements (ii) to check for focus accuracy (iii) this lens will hunt in low light.
Otherwise, get the cheap 18-55 IS + 55-250 IS. I think all beginners should start with these lenses before deciding on what they need.

Am in overseas now.
I personally don't mind heavy weight when travelling, so i carry a backpack.
Think that tripod is a must for me.
For me right now i'm carrying the 10-22, 18-55 f/3.5-5.6 II (kit lens), 50mm f/1.8 II (indoor cafe shots, low light use).
If i've more choices (more dough beforehand) I would also bring the 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS
for me, i wouldn't like to find myself in a situation where i want to capture sthg and I can't!
my 2 cents preference.

depends on what's your priority and your needs.
for me i would prefer a UWA to capture as much details as possible
the telephoto zoom lens is just for me to capture some other details which i might want to capture.
priority wise the UWA >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> telephoto
DDDDWah bro got yours too eh! :thumbsup:
Im enjoying mine very much...LoL
For me i will be carrying my 10-22mm and 50mm f1.4 for the coming trip to Japan. Should be getting the Tammy 17-50mm there too..eheh

Hello 10-Dee-Q,
On a recent trip to Israel, I brought along the following:
18-55 IS
85 f/1.8
10-22
I guess if I had the 17-55 IS, I would bring that along, although on a 400D, the 18-55IS makes for very comfortable travelling, since the combo is pretty light. Didn't take much night scenery, so the 18-55 IS worked well for those day-time shots. Bought the 10-22 just before the trip, but it actually didn't see much use... 85 f/1.8 didn't see much use as well, since the trip involved a lot of walking in a group, and it was pretty difficult (and potentially hazadous) to change lens while walking and balancing a backpack!
So my 2 cents worth? Go with the 17-55 IS, since you have one already!
