Ordered my 16-35 MKII

Should be here Monday. Will post some pics with it. I was close to ordering a 16-35 just before the announcement of the new one.

I've been thinking about upgrading from my 17-40, so I'm interested in how well the 16-35 MKII is received. I'd love to see the pics.

Ditto on wanting to see image samples and your overall impression of this exciting new lens.

Presumably they got it right with the new version.
I hope we don't have to go through all the "bad copy" threads that we had with the first version.

Yeah I will puti t through its paces and if its flaky it will go back.

Where did you order from?

some people on fm are claiming to have them in hand. I too an interested in how it performs, even if theres no way Im going to buy one

Im gonna wait for the reviews and comparisons to the 16-35L. (I guess I can read yours Monday )

Get the MKIII it'll pick up girls

I'm guessing they significantly changed the design of this lens... Just checked on B&H and the filter size is 82mm vs the good ol' 77mm (common to L) threads.

and more mass... 1.4lb vs 1.32lb

I received one today. I have not had much good subject matter today. I will try to post pics tomorrow.The lens seems well built but feels considerably smaller and lighter than a 24-70 f2.8. The few test pics I took looked good, even at the edges. I did not have a mk1 so cant make that comparision that Iam sure many are interested in.

the old 16-35 is smaller and lighter than the 24-70.
