Thank you!! That is what I assumed .. I think that I have been able to get some pretty good shots with the 17-40. I have also shot HDR a few times and had some excellent results. I think in that case I'll pass on the 16-35.. I was looking at the Series 2. I figured if anything I'd sell my 17-40 for $500, and then the difference wouldn't be that bad, but I think I'll invest the funds into a solid portrait lens. I was also looking into the Sigma 85mm 1.4 art.

What do you shoot if you don’t shoot HDR?  I do exclusively HDR for real estate and it’s wonderful.  Some people use multiple off camera flashes as well. Don’t bother with the f2.8 version 1 or 2.   Most of us were talking about the f4 is, which is great.   There is also an f2.8 version iii which is also supposed to be great, but way too much cost to be worth it for what you do.

Honestly, I think spend some more time perfecting HDR and you will get much more improvement from that!   What program are you using for it now?  How many exposures do you put together?
