It seems like everyone has forgotten about the older canon 17-35 2.8 (before the 16-35). I picked one up mint off of ebay even though they stopped making them long ago, for around $600 and love it.

I love a really wide shot and shoot a lot of location shots at 16mm.

I have the old 16-35mm 2.8. But it's getting long in the tooth and I'm weighing up whether to go with the new 16-35mm 2.8, 16-35mm f4, or the Tokina 16-28mm. Hard choice but leaning towards the Tokina, second choice would be the f4 as I hardly ever need 2.8 with a wide lens.

By the way I tried the Sigma 12-24mm and found 12mm was way too wide....and the IQ of the lens wasn't crash hot so this one has been retired to the unused lens shelf :(

Widest at a wedding was 8mm Samyang F2.8 on a Fuji [So 12mm in FF]. Five guys in the back of a car to fit in.
