Re: 17-40mm f/4L vs 16-35mm f/2.8L

Some years ago one of the photo mags compared them and concluded that quality-wise, at working apertures, there was no significant difference. I don't use wide angle much but I find the 17-40 quite adequate. I've never had the other. I do have the 20 f2.8 and think it's excellent
