I am most probably going to be one of the early adopters of the lens (I have it on preorder). People should understand that the performance of a wide angle tele zoom can not be based on a single web-sized, tele-end sample image. Images demonstrating the 15-35mm focal lengths with 100% crops (with not post processing applied) would for example be much more informative. When I get the lens, I will try to provide information, possible a test against other wideangle zooms, like the Canon 18-200.
