I just want to hear comments from owner of these lenses. I am about to purchase 16-35II. I will be using this lens a lot of traveling. One of the thing on my priority list is being discrete. I have used 17-40L extensively. I think its size is good, and easy to handle. I just wonder if 16-35II will feel much bigger in actual use. I will appreciate any comments.

I had both up until I recently sold my 17-40 --- they are both about he same size -- the 16-35 is a little bigger but in the same league size wise as the 17-40 ----
