Canon deserves kudos for producing a truly sharp extreme wide angle zoom at a reasonable price

The 16-35mm focal lengths are some of the most useful zoom ranges available, ideal for architecture, landscapes, street photography, photojournalism, artistic effects, even environmental portraits when used properly

Ive been looking for a lens that will allow me to do wide angle shots along with my super zooms that I use 90% of the time

So back to reality and what it is I shoot, and that is landscapes at f/11-f/14, and real estate at the same aperture, and since I can get the best quality to date from Canon in the super wide zoom category, I pulled the trigger and couldn't be happier

With the release of the extremely well received 70-200 2.8II, 70-200 F4 IS, 24-70 2.8II, and 24-70 F4 IS, Canon really is the king of the zoom lens....and the 16-35 F4 IS a worthy addition to Canon's portfolio of class-leading zoom lenses.

What I found:*Easy and smooth zoom, and manual focus.

This lens is likely the sharpest wide zoom currently, even sharper than the more expensive 16-35L. With IS on this one it is amazing shooting in almost darkness with a 5Dmklll.

Love the zoom
