    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: 1. Better edge-to-edge IQ than mark I2. Better IQ than 17-40mm in general3. f/2.8 is a plus to some, including myself

    Weaknesses:82mm filter size is just crazy and expensive. Canon should've just keep it in 77mm and make our life easier (on buying filters)

    Overall Evaluation: Talk about Wide Angle (or Ultra Wide Angle if you would like), the only 2 choices you have are: 16-35mm II and 17-40mm. I have the 17-40mm in hand now and I have decided to upgrade due to better IQ quality, light-fallout control, and bigger aperture. Right now I am using 5D with this lenses and it's really wide. In the future, I will be pair this lenses with APS-H cameras, and it will be 16-35 * 1.3X = 20-45mm, which is the standard-to-wide range and it's going to be an amzaing combo. So, if you are going for the APS-H, you might want to consider this lenses as well.As far as I can tell, this lenses is a big performer in WA. If you have't have any WA lenses in hand, you should pay some attention to it.

    Duration of ownership: 2 Weeks

    Strengths: This lens is compact and provides outstanding sharp images over a very wide field all the way out to full 35mm format.

    Weaknesses:Expensive

    Overall Evaluation: This is an extraordinary lens for the serious amateur or the professional. It provides a very large field at 16mm focal length, which is essential for wide angle photography especially with the reduced format of the DX digital cameras. A terrific lens to fill out your equipment bag for landscapes and indoor images in tight spaces.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Goes really wide on a full frame 5D body. Solid Construction

    Weaknesses:Minor vignetting at 16-18mm. 82mm filter size. yikes

    Overall Evaluation: Overall, great lens. I don't do wide shots all that often, but when you need it, and can't step back any further, this lens is TOP notch. Even on a crop body, it would be recommended.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: wide angle

    Weaknesses:ok image at 35mm end

    Overall Evaluation: The image taken at 16mm end is sharp. But those take at 35mm are just ok. That's why people would want Canon EF 35mm f/1.4. I bought this with canon instant rebate and very happy with the price. The lens retracts when you try to zoom. You may want to add a 82mm UV filter to protect it.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Corner-to-corner sharpness, colors, contrast

    Weaknesses:Size

    Overall Evaluation: I used to have a 17-40 f/L and 16-35 f/2.8 mkI in my bag This lens is not disappointing. 2.8 makes a huge difference if you want to shoot inside. mk2 is quite sharper then mk1. The only complain - it does not fit into my bag anymore.
