For some reason I can't get the posted images to enlarge so I can look at them closely, but this sounds like a classic case of a lens element knocked out of alignment. The 16-35 f/2.8 is already pretty soft at f/2.8 in the corners, so a misaligned element is disastrous. You can verify this problem with the newspaper on the wall test, but I'm pretty sure it needs fixing.

Good luck!

Thanks, I've sent an email to Canon simultaneous to this thread given your reply.

Wonder if others are also having trouble enlarging the images?
