Has your friend ever shot with a 17-40/4 L? Or the new 10-22 EF-S
lens? I have the 17-40L, and I can assure you, it is superb and TACK
sharp.
Regarding metering, I find that my C*n*n 1D MkII is bang on in
agreement with my Sekonic L558R...I do side by side comparisons with
the two all the time. Plus the color and detail will blow your socks
off.
