All I am saying is don't believe all the hype about the 16-35IS, yes it's a good lens and the IS makes it much more usable for me for things like social events, but the actual stopped down IQ is not really very different from the 17-40L, really it isn't. Maybe I had a good one, but I always found the 17-40L better than the press it gets.
Wrong again. Don't believe all the new hype about how the 16-35 IS is not that much better. I have had both lenses and compared them side-by-side. On full frame the 16-35 IS has better contrast, better color, better micro-contrast, is sharper everywhere (especially the edges), creates better sunstars, focuses faster and more accurately.
The 17-40 is a great lens for the money. But the 16-35 IS is the sharpest UWA zoom Canon makes in that range. If you want the best Canon UWA zoom get the 11-24, but that sounds way out of your price range.
