Don't you miss the EF16-35mm? I am about to walk down the path of trading it with the RF14-35. Biggest hesitation is the build quality.

No, not at all.

I have to say that I was annoyed a bit at first about the extending design of the RF. All those complications for one cm extension! In that sense, I prefer the EF solution with a solid, rugged barrel that is 1cm longer.

But once I got the RF 14-35, I forgot about it quickly. It's build quality is beyond reproach, very solid feeling and every bit as good as the EF, but much more modern. I used it in strong rain a few times with no issues, also it got dirty several times and never was there any complaint.

I like this lens a lot despite it costing a steep premium over the EF - it was worth it for me.

Thanks for this helpful feedback.
