Is the 17-40 still in production? Of course they will sell off inventory.
It's still listed as a current lens on Canon's website. And it's still popular.
Indeed. If you are solely landscaping with it, you could save the money and get the 17-40L. There was one poster here who absolutely loved the sunstars the 17-40L created and felt the newer lenses' sunstars were a bit too clinical.
Where the 16-35 f/4L IS sings (beyond landscapes) is on the wide open end when you didn't think you'd need it -- it is gold for vacations for me.
Crowded street markets? 16mm ftw.
Judiciously framed candids? 35mm f/4 output is terrific.
Dark interiors with no flash/tripods allowed (old churches, museums, etc.)? The 16mm + IS is wonderful.
