Hey everybody,

A few days ago i bought a new 17-40mm L UW Lens, but I´m very dissapointed about the sharpness.
Is the blurriness at the edge and the corners normal for this lens?

10 Minutes of research would have told you that this is not the sharpest L lens and especially corner sharpness is not its strength. Even at f8 and beyond it never gets really sharp. The 16-35L II is better but also this one is not the sharpest in the corners but a bit better.
