Happy New Year everybody! First of all, I currently own a 17-40 mm and find that it is pretty good, and the price point was awesome when I bought it. I am shooting more and more real estate and a few people have told me to move up to the 16-35mm.. Am I really gaining that much more with that lens? I shoot with a Canon 5d Mark III. Any info you can provide would be greatly appreciated!

I don’t think you will gain that much for real estate sepficially.  Typically the images are relatively small so sharpness differences will not be noticed much.  You should be stopped down to f8 or so, so there isn’t as big of a difference anyway.  Is wont help that much since you should be on a tripod anyway.  Honestly, the biggest upgrade will be that 1mm difference, which can be nice.  Wouldn’t be worth the price difference to me unless you used it for other things as well.
