Canon EF 12-24mm f/2.8 L - Constructing the Enigma

[RLPhoto]

Satisfied with the 16-35 f/4L. I don't really need anything else wider or faster.

Good for you. Not really the topic but good for you.

Not so great for you. Keep measuabating over your dreams.

In all fairness, while the 16-35 f/4 IS is a fantastic landscape lens, it still fails to do 14mm (which is a big deal for some landscape photogs) so I don't think it necessarily is an answer for Nikon's 14-24; sunstar also looks a bit unimpressive on the 16-35 f/4 IS from most photos I have seen. I think that a wider zoom lens than the 16-35 f/4 IS is on Canon's radar, but that lens may be the patented 11-24 f/4L rather than the 12-24 f/2.8L some have been wishing for. We will wait and see, but there may not be any more UWA action until 2015-2016 as the EF 16-35 f/4 IS and EF-S 10-18mm satisfied a good chunk of the market this year.
