Quite, though one swallow can start a choking fit
Let us hope that there is much more to come.

I can't decide decide if my 16-35 2.8 II is obsolete or not now...

These are supposed to be from 16-35/4L IS? Can you link the source please? 600x400px image is not really evaluable

Entry Level Trilogy: 10-18mm, 18-55mm & 55-250mm
Mid Level Trilogy: 16-35 f/4.0, 24-70 f/4.0 & 70-200 f/4.0
Holy Trinity: 16-35 f/2.8ii, 24-70 f/2.8ii & 70-200 f/2.8ii
According to the lineups above, the 16-35 f/2.8 let's the Holy Trinity down somewhat as there's many options out there that rival or best it.
My opinion and judging by how the MTF charts indicate an obvious improvement in the new wides, I see a 16-35 replacement in the form of a 12-24 before year's end.

I guess many of the L glasses (ex: 70-200 f2.8 IS MkII) reported to have weather sealing, have this feature. The users manual silently claims that the lens becomes sealed when a protection or UV filter is screwed-in to the front of lens.

Interestingly B&H list the lens at $ 1,199 in the UK its listed by Park Cameras at £ 1,199 at current exchange that makes it $ 2,014 our side of the pond. The US price converted is £ 713.00 our side of the pond granted the US price needs the sales tax added whilst the UK price include 20% sales tax (VAT). Even if you add 20% to the US list it comes out at $1,498.75 dividing that by the current exchange rate makes it £ 892.11 making the US price
£ 306.89 cheaper. Riff off Britain is alive & well.

Re: Canon Announces Two New EF Ultra Wide-Angle Zoom Lenses and White EOS Rebel SL1 Digital SLR Came
Finally 2014 is starting to see some interesting Canon DSLR releases.
I got a little bit sad only seeing something good from other companies - although it was really interesting stuff.
These two lenses are making an interesting completion in the lineup of zoom lenses.
Although not personally interested, I see a huge consumer market for the 10-18mm now having UWA for such a good price. And these people are not so much into apertures.
Lets hope there is more down the road this year.

Sabaki, I think you've really said it right.Sabaki said:

Agreed, this looks like it's going to replace my 17-40mm VERY soon!

And you're not going to be alone. But first, I have to wait for the usual ripoff price here in EU. My guess is about 40% more (incl. VAT) than the US price...

Re: Canon Announces Two New EF Ultra Wide-Angle Zoom Lenses and White EOS Rebel SL1 Digital SLR Came
Well now that it's official I can go ahead and ask (well think aloud) how the new EF-S UWA will compare against the EOS-M w/ 11-22mm kit, not just IQ but also size (lens alone vs EOS-M combo). Like many I bought it as my UWA along with the M fire sale so I'm keen to see the differences.

The 16-45 f/4 IS has my name all over it - okay, my name isn't Canon, IS, or Ultrasonic, but alas, this is a perfect lens for me (I've used f/2.8 on my 16-35 II about 5 times ;D), and my 16-35 II is up for sale - PM me before I change my mind

Re: Canon Announces Two New EF Ultra Wide-Angle Zoom Lenses and White EOS Rebel SL1 Digital SLR Came
I think that the new 16-35mm IS will be a big seller... if I had all three (17-40, 16-35mm 2.8II), this would be the tempting option.. In Canon's new (absurd) pricing structure I am pleasantly surprised at the intro price of this lens. I think this lens makes the 17-40mm a non-entity (except for price!). When I added an ultra-wide zoom to my quiver I had initially purchased the 17-40mm but sent it right back...What bothered me was the "short throw" in the zoom ring at the wide end. There was very little to no separation between focal lengths. This is not talked about very often, but it was a total deal-breaker for me. I ended up biting the bullet and waiting for a good sale/rebate situation on the 16-35II. In the current spread and pricing of Canon lenses I this this offering and pricepoint seem reasonable (relatively). Although, my last lens purchase was a Sigma (35mm), and my next lens purchase will be a Sigma (50mm), too!.....so perhaps Canon will become even more "reasonable" with their price structure as it has been woobling out of control! 8)

I think it looks good. Makes me want one even if I am not really in the market for a wide. It will be interesting to see reviews.
