If Im doing this I might as well get the 70-200 2.8L it will just take a little longer to save.

I doubt Ill need any other lenses after those. lol The TS-24 is fun to play with though.....

is there a camera slope too?
My first (and only) two lenses for a few years were the 17-40 F4 and the 70-200 F4. Solid workhorses that will consistently and reliably get any job done you throw at em. I still have that 70-200.

I have since replaced the 17-40 F4 with an older model 17-35 F2.8. Its not as sharp at 2.8, but does give me the 2.8 that I needed, and its ebay rate is barely more than a new 17-40.

You may or may not need the 70-200 2.8. Its an AWESOME lens, which I have the pleasure of owning at the moment, but its overkill for some things, and heavy lens for walkaround. If you just want to go for a stroll with your camera, the size and weight of the F4 will make you much happier IMO
