Same here, clicking on the images does not work correctly anymore. Can't scroll after that either, someone at dpreview broke something.

o 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.

When you click on the gallery link you can see the image bigger. Indeed, it looks like misalignment of the elements.

Good luck!
