I have been thinking for a while whether I should get 17-40L or 16-35L. The thing is you won't really need f2.8 most of the time when you are shooting wide angle shot. You want more DOF when you are shoot wide angle. So I don't think it is worth it to pay so much more for just a couple more steps. This lens is really sharp at f4 and it is one of the cheapest L lens you can ever get. Perfect for 1.6x D-SLR and even better if using on a full frame camera. This is my second favorite lens beside my 70-200 f2.8L IS.

This lens is awesome. Get for sport, portrait, and wild life. This lens is pretty sharp even wide open. This is by far one of the most popular L lens. This lens is pretty good boken too.

Pros:
|
Great extender for the L lenses. IS and AF function still works when attached to the lens. Weather and dust proof. Awesome images when stop down to f8.
|
|
Cons:
|
Lose 2 stops and lose a little bit fine detail. But you have to really look closely to notice
|
|
|
No question about it. It is the best extender for your Canon L lens. If you wouldn't mind losing 2 stops, this extender gives you a very good reach. Very light to carry around. Well build, AF and IS functions still works on most of the lenses.
