Thats why f4 L lens are one of the reasons why ppl choose Canon over Nikon :thumbsup:

Nikon got 12-24mm f/4.

Hehe....

Even if I switch, it won't be a 350D/20D. :devil: :devil: :devil:

Yes i hear but can't verify tat claim.
Besides, DF, u dun shoot landscape (scenery) at f2.8.
U dun shoot portait wif 16-35 due to distortion of wide angle, so no need f2.8 to blur background.
The only time i think to shoot wide angle at f2.8 is at events wif poor lighting & yr flash can't throw light too far or in places where flash not allowed, like at some churches.

Hmmmm,

I can't get 17-40L anyway :sweat:

 

[gryphon]

However... I tempted by 17-55mm f2.8! Too bad Canon dun have tat range. Just buy tat lens is enuf already plus a Sigma 70-200 then no need anything else.
12-24...tat range will not be for me as i'll not shoot landscape much

 

[TMC]

17-55/2.8 + 70-200/2.8 VR


droooolsss.............

 

[TMC]

5.5k about there...........

 

[AJ23]

5.5k about there...........

Not too ex though, considering the range and the image quality. Somemore both are fast 2.8 lenses.

 

[espn]

Better picture quality ? Then who own that lens must be a happy guy loh

Distortion control is better on the 17-40L as compared to 16-35.

 

[DarkForce]

Huh... tot yr wide angle is a 16-35L :dunno:

 

[CYRN]

Hi Scud,

Could u enlighten me why go for 17-40L instead of 16-35L ? 17 better than 16 ?

I add my 2 "L"s worth... :devil:

so far from what I understand 17-40 and 70-200 maintains constantly good image quality @ wide open... others, the are slight degradation in contrast or quality.

Was considering 16-35 2.8... but in the end go for 17-40 as I'm not using the 2.8 very often for my type of shoot where flashes are allowed.

 

[gryphon]

*bounces virus back to NW*
Sam, u shd get 17-40L & Sigma 70-200 or 70-200L f2.8

 

[AJ23]
