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 have a canon 17-40 f4.0 and love it! however, for architecture, i would go for a canon 16-35 f4.0 IS due to its newer and better optics/technology and less distortion edge and corners compared to 17-40mm as i have read reviews and viewed photos on this forum and many other sources! if i was on the market for acquiring a 16-35mm, i would go to a local shop and test it for myself and make a realistic judgement!
