 EF16-35mm f/2.8L II Dec 10, 2008
The EF16-35mm f/2.8L II USM ultra wide angle ZOOM lens captures amazing colors and is a great walk-around lens. I'm very pleased with the image quality I'm getting from this lens. Wide open results are very sharp. This is a very nice size and weight for comfortable, sure handling which makes it a joy to use. Wide angle full frame corners are excellent for a lens this wide. This is a professional lens, very high quality with the "L" designation. It is fully weather sealed to protect against dust and moisture. The Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8 L II USM Lens is perfect for the wide work outdoor landscape photography, indoor events such as stage work, parties, wedding and for other photojournalism needs.
I spent months researching this lens. I debate between the cheaper 17-40L and the 16-35mm 2.8 II lenses. There is a big difference in price between the lenses. In the end, I felt that having the extra stop of light and wider angle was more important than saving a few dollars. After receiving the lens and doing some shootings, I have been nothing be astounded by the quality of photos I have taken with this lens. Images are very bright, and I do so love that f/2.8.
This is the 4th Canon lens that I own: EF100-400mm F4.5-5.6L IS USM, EF180mm F3.5L Macro USM, EF28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM and the EF16-35mm f/2.8L II USM.

Great Lense 4 Full-frame ... Need wider for Crop Camera (40d) Nov 30, 2008
I am not a pro, just a starting event photographer. However, for a year now I have been shopping around for photo equipment: online, in NYC stores, trying out friend's equipmnet, reading reviews, etc. This is a great lens, really sharp, + the 2.8 (which gives great flexibility at low light). However, I have been using it with the Canon 40D (1.6x crop camera); after the first gig I realized that it is not wide enouth. If you a starting up with a crop body and are planning a timely purchase of a full-frame, you will not go wrong with this lens. If not, I would recomend looking into the EF-S 10-22mm. Good luck!!!

Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM Ultra Wide Angle Zoom Lens review Oct 06, 2008
I am a hobbiest with a 30D.
This is my first 'L' series lens. I stressed over getting the EF-S 10mm-22mm and the f4 versions both of which are half the price of this lens. I went over the reviews here and at FMreviews. Next, I thought about where I would be using this lens. I tend to shoot in lower light situations and I really wanted to see what this 'L' series lens was all about. I also thought about the future and my plan to eventually go to a full frame camera. I didn't want to have to buy another wide angle lens so this is actually a better idea to have one great lens for both bodies. I wish the included hood was a bit wider as it doesn't help with a bright sun overhead. Other than that I'm very happy with my new lens and will look forward to seeing the world larger than before.

 Worth the price over the 17-40mm f/4 Sep 25, 2008
I have both the 16-35MM II and the 17-40mm. At the end of the day the images produced by both lenses are sharp. The main difference is the speed. f/2.8 v f/4. When daylight turns to dusk and you're still shooting (ambient light) the option to open up the lens makes it worth it.
Sure its twice the price but the ability to gather more light to get those shots makes it worth it.

Perhaps my most versatile lens. Excellent quality! Jul 05, 2008
I now own 4 "L" lenses (see below). This 16-35mm f/2.8L is perhaps the most versatile for my needs. I often shoot interiors and landscapes at the wider ranges and the overall quality is excellent. The build quality of this lens is superb (as it should be). The lens is fast, quiet, focuses quickly, and I have no complaints. - When I'm shooting indoors where there are lots of people, this is the lens I use.
