I would highly recommend this lense.

At first I was concerned about losing f2.8 simply because I love fast lenses and thought I'd never own anything slower than 2.8, but in reality that doesn't matter with such a wide lens on a full frame

If you're just getting into wide angle, landscape or interior photography you might want to look at some of the less expensive lenses out there

One of my favorite lenses.

you cannot hear anything moving around inside it, (like you can with some other cheaper lenses)

Although I am a Canon devotee, I'm the first to admit that wide zooms are the one area in which Nikon lenses have been superior.

lens is a bit expensive compared to some other competitive lenses, but if you care about the things I mention above, paying an extra $400–$500 is well worth it

But I know what good lenses good like.

This is an excellent lense

f/4 L lens I purchased from Amazon and it works very well, but I like the idea of an image stabilized wide angle since I would like to more video work and this lens (16-35 is) looked very promising.

For the price it's probably the best L-series quality lens you can buy.

There are much better options such as the 10-22, or the great ef-s 17-50mm
