Re: 16-35/4 L IS: are you still unsure? Check on test shots...

I completely agree. The biggest surprise for me was the usefulness of the IS, which I just considered cake icing at the time of purchase. For many outings, I can leave my tripod at home-- landscape wide angle photography of course commonly consists of fairly static subject matter, and the best opportunities are often at dawn and dusk. IS helps a lot more than I though it would.

The IS works so well for me that I have gotten sharp photos with partial motion blur (like moving water) handheld. It almost feels like cheating!

It looks like they've dropped the price, too! I got mine ~2 months ago from B&H... the same $100 rebate applies as when I purchased it, but the base price is $100 cheaper!
