That's a pretty massive improvement on the 16-35 III. It looks just as good if not better than the 16-35 f/4 except at f/2.8. Should be a killer lens, will have to wait and see the coma, though a little expensive compared to the competition.

The 24-105 is a little bit of a let down. It really doesn't look that much better. Maybe a little bit in the corners, but that's it. Though I want to see some sample images of the bokeh, star burst and flare since the original lacked in those areas.

Waiting for lens tip to test the 16-35. The 24-105 sharpness not much improved, but the press release is saying less vignetting than previous version.

Prior to pricing being announced, I was hopeful that this new 16-35 might drive down the street price of used f/4 variants. Hopeful that a number of f/4 owners ditch that lens to get the latest/greatest. However, I'm figuring the $2200 price tag just puts these two lenses in clearly different markets.

That 16-35 improvement looks impressive! Now I wait for coma testing as that will determine whether the f2.8 or the f4 will be my next UWA lens. I suspect the coma will be 'good enough' for me and it will be a matter of how long do I have to wait until I can afford it :o

2200$?? You lucky guys over there....

It will cost 2625€ in Germany... (close to 3000$!)

I guess the replacement of my old Mark II will have to wait a bit..
