Anyone got their hands on the 16-35 f4 yet? (nt)

Oh, thanks for the info...Guess I'll just leave a normal UV filter on for protection most of the time then?

Bro, Z pro works with no vignetting on my former 17-35 f2.8, using it before i made a switch to Lee's
Think should be fine on 16-35mm f4
thanks numnumball
maybe i will try and order online.. as cathay doesn't bring in Z pro size
Just something interesting to note, the Fader Variable ND filter works extremely well on this lens. Although vignetting goes away at 24mm (used a 82mm filter w/step up and w/o UV filter, at max setting there is no "cross" effect unlike on other WA lenses that I have tested.

That's almost $400 for a filter?

And another user test, suggesting it is better than the 17-35mm F2.8

I just looked again. Don't tell anyone, but this new 16-35mm f/4 VR is slightly sharper than the huge 14-24mm f/2.8. TIme to sell the 14-24mm, buy the 16-35mm f/4, and pocket the difference before used values of the 14-24mm fall.
Enjoy reading.

The part of the review concluding the 16-35vr as a great lens is believable. The other part where it mentioned the 16-35vr is even sharper than the 14-24mm is an overstatement.

Need to wait until mass flow, then I will get it. Not really in a hurry.
Feel this lens is really value for money if you compared 1735 & 1424 which are more than $2K. I believed you play an important role when coming to sharpness ?
Hope Nikon will come out with more F4 value lens.

i try the lens before, sharp fast & fun to use. The VRII does help a lot in low light condition if your subject is still.
But the only thing who stop me now will be the zoom barrel issue with the 24-70 & 14-24. The new 16-35 very much look alike with the same design. So I will wait a bit longer & see how is the out come.

Individual copies vary. And I disagree with Mr Ken this time.
The 14-24 is still sharper.
Ken is good for fun reading. As for anything else, I'd read more than his site.
