Came across this link that might be helpful to anyone tossing up between the Canon 16-35 & 17-40 lenses http://www.luminous-landscape.com/reviews/lenses/canon-17-40.shtml.

I was tossing up before I bought my 17-40 and in the end it was mostly landscape value I was looking for where there was a likelihood of longer exposures over a tripod. Value for money and moderate use of a smaller f/stop toward the wider end helped sway my decision.

Hope others find this useful :)

Wonderbar! I have been researching these two lenses myself & decided I would go with the 17-40mm L as you have, more bang for your buck :th3:

Please note that the 16-36L is the MkI version, not the MkII.
