I am curious if anyone has replaced their 17-40 f4 with the 16-35 F4 IS lens?
Do you feel it is worth the extra money to upgrade? There is where I am having trouble. Even with current rebates, it is still a fairly expensive lens. I do have a 24 2.8 IS lens and love the IS. I use a tripod frequently but still find the IS very useful at times when I don't want the burden of hiking with a tripod. The 17-40 is good lens, could be sharper, especially at edges and wider apetures but this 16-35 lens is very appealing with its sharpness and IS.
I use a 6D, and a RRS tripod, so I am serious about sharp photos.
