I just bought the 16-35II today. So far I'm impressed with it, and lovin the 16mm wide end.
Mine shipped today, so it should be here by Friday. I never warmed up to my 17-40mmL, so I am hoping I like this one. Right now, I have a old Tokina 17mm f/3.5 Prime that I do like, but I have a use for the zoom.

Nice. I was hoping to get the 24-70II first but it's not happening. I do like the UW end of it and should keep me happy for the next couple of months.

Just a prediction, and I'm not trying to be debbie downer. You will use the wides end of the 16-24 90% of the time. And as time goes by, you will notice that you'll wish it was a bit wider... Next thing you know you will be wishing for the 14...

This aside, enjoy the new lens...

Thanks, your probably right. I'm hoping that Canon brings out a 14-24L. ;)
