The 10-22 is an entirely different type of lens, for big sweeping landscapes and extreme perspectives. I sold both my 17-40 and 17-55, but have kept my 10-22 for 4 years and well over 10K shots. I am getting ready to sell it now only because I've gone FF. I still think it's a must have on a crop body Canon.

Totally agree on that!
I had 17-55 but sold it for 17-40 when I went FF almost 2 years ago. If you plan to keep 40D and upgrade to 50D, 60D, 70D in the future, get 10-22mm. However, if FF is in your near future, 17-40L is a better investment.
Good luck..
