well I have fiddled with it and all seesm to be in good working order and the filter is a brand new B+W.
Feel like there isn't quite as much 'meat' to the thread, I havent measured it might be that the 17-40 just had more of it - not sure
Its a pet beef of mine though that filters are hard to change in the cold ( which it normally is here) and trying to get those B+W filter boxes open in the cold....oh well

I gather you may still be writing about the protective filter?

Have you (or anyone else) tried a polarizer on the lens?  I seldom used mine (B+W slim) on the 17-40mm as I got blotchy areas of coverage. But I was wondering how the coverage is on the 16-35 IS? Or when mine arrives tomorrow, I'll try it out. ;>)
