User profile: Professional
Cons: not very much
Pros: a solid performer in any situation. a bit aged, however, but the 16-35 is no much: distortion, f4 in interiors may be not enough.
Summary: still a good buy for a professional. more useful than 14-24. really a must for interior shooting.

Cons: Optics are out of date. The imperfections of the past are no longer acceptable in today's world. This wouldn't be so bad if the price was low, but the price is extremely high for this lens. Specifically, chromatic aberration is pretty bad wide open. Corner sharpness wide open also takes a nose dive. Corner sharpness on any lens is always at its worst wide open, but this is pretty awful. When combined with a high contrast scene, the chroma problems really kill it. At f/4 and f/5.6 it all goes away, and sharpness at f/8 is impeccable. Nevertheless, if you want today's optics you have to buy today's lenses.
Pros: Extremely versatile, the aperture ring lets you use it on older film cameras, built like a tank, too weighty or beefy in size (unlike the 14-24mm, which, in some instances renders it unusable), much more practical focal lengths -- especially for full-frame. Optical quality very good stopped down.
Summary: This would be a great lens if the optical performance was better wide open or the price were less. It's versatile, sharp when stopped down, and built like a tank without actually being too heavy.The price is very high, and the newer 16-35 f/4 is probably a better buy.

Cons: This is soooooooooo heavy.
Pros: Sharp from 5.6 to 11.
Summary: I have this lens for over three years and have taken thousands of pictures with this lens. I can tell you that this is a nice lens in term of relative sharpness, but resolution is not as what I would hope for a $1500 lens should be able to deliver.

Cons: Quite heavy, expensive.
Pros: Everything that comes with "heavy and expensive"; build quality, picture quality is outstanding from f/4, no flare problem, hardly any distortion even at 17mm, AF-S speed is ultrafast on wide angle lenses, etc, etc.
Summary: If you can afford it, buy it, use it and blame yourself if your pictures turns out bad, itīs NOT the lens!
