One of missing pieces in my puzzle.

Since I'm no hurry for UWA, willing to wait for X-mas rebate.

I was going to wait for a rebate too, but then pre-ordered one when the Canon site glitched and was selling at a discount.

What was the discount rate?

They ship tomorrow. Goodbye 17-40!

That's awesome

$125 off 1200 for the lens, and because it was through Canon, they threw in a "100 Million EF Lens Gift Set" valued at 50 for free.

$125 off is better paying full price. Wonder what inside "100 Million EF Lens Gift Set"?

It's supposed to be a t-shirt, lens cloth and pin. I'll find out when the lens ships any day now. Buying the 16-35 f/4 IS was funded by selling the 16-35 f/2.8 II, and this is the first lens that I've ever pre-ordered.

An early CONGRATS

Feel like a kid in the candy shop? ;D

MTF charts look very nice when compared to 16-35 f2.8 II. Plus that 4stop IS will be a huge benefit for night time shooting.

Post some pics when you ready.

Same here, sold the 16-35 II and first time pre-order. Waiting hopeful that it will arrive soon.

Just wish I had it in hand now. Heading up to Maine for a family gathering tomorrow, and I would have loved to try it out up there. I'll be using primes to cover the range instead.

What I really wanted was a 16-35 f/2.8 III with optics that matches or surpasses the 16-35L f/4 IS. That would help me reduce my lens count from MANY to MANY - 1. ;D
