Odd that you only gave the 16-35 f/4L IS 3-1/2 stars. This is one of the finest wide angle zooms ever made. Unless there is an overriding need for the f/2.8 III, I can't imagine how to realistically improve this lens. The IS is solid and surprisingly useful and there is no comparison to the earlier 16-35 f/2.8 versions 1 and 2.

I've tested it side by side against the superb 24-70 f/2.8L II at f/4 on the overlapping focal lengths and the two are nearly indistinguishable. As a photojournalist this thing is a solid workhorse delivering excellent results.
