16-35 f2.8 L

[dcw@pr]

is it just my example or is this lens VERY soft at the edges at f/2.8?

They aren't known for being particularly sharp, and there's a lot of variation between different copies too

A lot of people rate the 17-40 f4 L higher. I have one, it's good.

yes, I've looked in to the 17-40 option, I think I would buy one if I was starting from scratch, but not worth downgrading.

I miss the old small sensor days when I didn't have to worry about the edges of the frame...

NOT!!!

Who says the 17-40 is downgrading?

sorry, downgrading is the wrong word, although I guess it is correct financially.
