Finally after a big inner struggle, I got the 16-35 II.
For a long time I crawled through POTN and review websites trying do decide between the 16-35 or 17-40, in the end went for the 16-35, because I was able to find one in second hand at a nice price in mint condition. And it is an AWESOME lens, really loving it, it's very wide the 16mm setting, and the f2.8 is very handy in low light, and to use the live view to manual focus on the same conditions.
For everyone sitting on the fence to get this lens, no regrets, it's a great piece of glass :)

Cheers.


David.

It was quite a bit, but it wasn't that much above what a 17-40mm brand new :)

It's completely fun using it, very nice. Haven't had much time to use it yet, but the little I used was great.
Btw, the sun-stars are gorgeous :D

Cheers.
