Hello,

I´m selling my EF 100mm f/2.8L macro lens with optional exchange for some wide angle lens. I was thinking about EF 16-35/4 IS but now I got offer for EF 16-35/2.8L II.

What do you think? I don´t need f/2.8 and from what I have seen the IQ is not so different.

Thanks for help

If you don't need f/2.8, then get the f/4. That was easy.

The f/4 is cheaper, lighter, smaller, has IS, and has stellar image quality.
