the most popular and commonly used PJ lens. the most used wide angle event lens. it has great central sharpness (apc-s circle), and a bit more, 2.8 through out zoom range. it has great color and contrast, fast af, good flare resistance, fantastic star burst, weather sealed. it take filters it as very good to the corners stopped down with peak performance between 18 to about 24 mm.
It is not a match for 24-70II or 70-200 II in terms of wide open corner performance, but it is much harder to design ultrawides. the Nikon 14-24 gets around this by essentially being a medium format lens (much like the ts lenses) with a larger image circle, and also convex front element, which makes it bigger, heavier, and very flare prone, and I own both.
16-35II is indeed a fantastic lens. enjoy your lens and camera...Show more →
I agree, I had and hated the 17-40 for soft edges and corners that Canon never could fix. My 16-35mk2 had to be returned for decentering but that was fixed and now I love it. I use it in preference to my 17TSE unless I need to shift.
The 17 is slightly sharper, but I am terrible at manual focus and I get good focus more often with the 16-35.
