a couple from killarney provincial park

Aha! I think I know that place from a friend that use to shoot a lot in that neighbourhood. Could be because she lives nearby. :)
I'm guessing you enjoyed shooting there - those are lovely photos.

thanks, she is lucky to live close by such a beautiful place. maybe i can go back again soon when the leaves are changing, any picture with the bow of a canoe in it is a pleasure to take!

SOOC fine jpegs of a random nature; just trying out the lens on my 7D and decided to see how unprocessed files look (by me - the camera obviously does some processing to produce the jpegs)

1. Image 1: ISO100; 16mm; -1EV; f/8; 1/20
2. Image 2: ISO100; 20mm; -1EV; f/8; 1/100

Standard Picture Style for both pictures: sharpness = 2; contrast = 0; saturation = 0; colour tone = 0

Handheld

In case anyone was wondering...this lens is indeed weatherproof - at least with a UV filter & 1D X:

And, if it is sea water, vinegar is very good for neutralizing the effects of the salt in sea water from corroding the alloy used in the lenses and bodies. I used to shoot yacht racing and surf events and often got sea spray over my gear. I'd always put a drop or two of vinegar on the strap lugs and a few other places that always corroded first.

I have been pondering the 16-35 f4 since selling my 16-35 f2.8 MkI a couple of weeks ago, I wonder if the even wider lens will become a reality or not, I didn't think I'd miss it but I have already........

Private, thanks for the tip on the vinegar. I had forgotten about that one long ago, so thank you for the reminder. Luckily my hotel was just a few miles away and I was able to rinse everything off when I got back and let it dry in the air-conditioned room. I had planned to shoot long exposures / shifted panos with my TS-E 24 but the wind was blowing and the waves were big, so I had to go with the zoom for the weather sealing. I'm still going through my shots, but thought this was a good one to show the weather sealing...

I'm hoping the 11-24 is real as well, as I still miss my Sigma 12-24 and wish I'd had it on the beach the other morning. 16mm just doesn't seem very wide sometimes! I understand the void of your 16-35 sale and hope we hear something out of Canon soon. I'm sure we'll both be at the head of the line for the pre-order if it proves to be real.
