[QUOTE="NVSteve, post: 429473, member: 13248"] Well, I have one on order. Spent the past couple of nights going through a few thousand photos taken with the 16-35. I bought the 16-35 primarily for the 16mm end of the zoom, but after correcting for distortion, that 16 turns into a 17 or 18. My biggest beef with it though, again at 16mm, is the horrid corner softness. I know some people don't care & will say that's normal, but it isn't when compared to the 14-24 and 15-30. I had to crop many shots just to get rid of the soft corners, which really defeated the purpose of having a "wide angle" lens. I'm heading out of town in 6 weeks & will be using a wide angle for more than 50% of my shooting, so I hope mine arrives in time. Guess it's about time for an image sample thread. I'm hoping I will be able to spare an hour on a weekend once I get the lens to run a series of comparison shots between the 15-30 and the 16-35. I'm sure a few people might be interested in that.
