don't worry I don't have a life so I am normally around.

Deploying a Cokin P on my 17-40 here. No problems. I can move it up and down till just the beginning of the tip of where the grad begins reaches the top of the frame. Any more and I might as well just remove the resin filter and shoot 'clear'. Same goes for down, move it down enough so much so that it becomes an impromptu 8X ND (almost no grad )

For the 16-35 Mk2 you might want to move to the Z system because it is substantially bigger up front.

isn't the 16-35 and the 17-40 using the same thread ?

Mk2 moves it up to 82mm from 77mm (Mk1 and 17-40).

I would be unlikely to upgrade to the 16-35 Mk2 for precisely this reason - that it would render my B+W 77mm CPL and Cokin P system ineffective. f/4 is plenty for all I do, in fact I use f/8 most of the time and let the Gitzo GT1530 with Markins Q3 take care of low light. That rig sure wasn't cheap, but it does allow me to shoot in any light I desire to.

I'm at work listening to You Tube music videos in the background and doing work.

Ok, so far I'm thankful my MSN doesn't show what songs I listen to. I've gone through various Westlife, East 17, Christina Aguilera and now Pussycat Dolls videos.

Haha! double check you turned that option off!

You're a girl, it's fine if you listen to that stuff.

Now if a guy was caught doing that, there would be a REAL scandal

well I am like you, even if I get the mk3 or a 5D or any top end models I am unlikey to sell the 17-14. it suits me down to the ground.

17-40 is that versatile, yes. Suits crop cameras (as std zoom), 1.3x (midrange zoom), 5D as ultrawide. Quality is superb, and it will stay with you for a lifetime. I don't feel the need for a f/2.8 since I don't use it.

Winamp rules!!
