• Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM Ultra Wide Angle Zoom Lens review
  I am a hobbiest with a 30D.
  This is my first 'L' series lens. I stressed over getting the EF-S 10mm-22mm and the f4 versions both of which are half the price of this lens. I went over the reviews here and at FMreviews. Next, I thought about where I would be using this lens. I tend to shoot in lower light situations and I really wanted to see what this 'L' series lens was all about. I also thought about the future and my plan to eventually go to a full frame camera. I didn't want to have to buy another... more info

• Worth the price over the 17-40mm f/4
  I have both the 16-35MM II and the 17-40mm. At the end of the day the images produced by both lenses are sharp. The main difference is the speed. f/2.8 v f/4. When daylight turns to dusk and you're still shooting (ambient light) the option to open up the lens makes it worth it.
  Sure its twice the price but the ability to gather more light to get those shots makes it worth it.

• Perhaps my most versatile lens. Excellent quality!
  I now own 4 "L" lenses (see below). This 16-35mm f/2.8L is perhaps the most versatile for my needs. I often shoot interiors and landscapes at the wider ranges and the overall quality is excellent. The build quality of this lens is superb (as it should be). The lens is fast, quiet, focuses quickly, and I have no complaints. - When I'm shooting indoors where there are lots of people, this is the lens I use.

• 16-35mm Worth the Extra Money
  I was debating between the cheaper 17-40L and the 16-35mm 2.8 II lenses. There is a significant difference in price between the lenses. In the end, I felt that having the extra stop of light was more important than saving a few dollars. After receiving the lense, I have been nothing be astounded by the quality of photos taken with this lens. Lens build and Image Quality are top notch. While I've seen the 17-40 produce high quality pictures, I wasn't about to sacrificy the F2.8 over the F4.
  For those... more info
