Re: 24mm f1.4 L vs 16-35mm f/4 L for landscape and general use

The primary reason to own the 24mm is the super fast aperture--basically a one trick pony. Unless you plan to heavily use this feature, the 16-35 f/4L IS is far and away your best choice. Razor sharp, even on the edges, solid IS function and focal length flexibility make it a winner for most. Just about everyone who owns this lens loves it, even in the snarky DPreview forums.
