Re: very first impressions

Good review, and as you say, "very first impressions."  I'll bet you grow to love the lens in time.

Lensrentals did a tear down of the 16-35 IS and had some positive comments on it's construction. Also their optical/image testing was favorable. Seeing that, I ordered the lens and it will be here on Monday.

Reading your review, I will not be too quick to sell my 17-40mm. I have enjoyed it but to get the best out of it, I have had to stop it down to around f16 to get the corners sharp. My hope is that the 16-35 will be a superb performer at f5.6-8.

thanks for posting the review.

Dave
