Germany is the one of the leader in optics development ever since the 1900s.
Is just that the Japanese (Nikon, Canon and Olympus) adopted some of these innovation and make them affordable to the masses. I ever read an online article ( I dunno how true issit) stating that for every piece of glass made, lecia choose 1 to become a lens and for every 10 lens made, the best one pass the QC while the rest is melted down.
From the review, the 16-35 Mk II as an wide angle zoom lens, fare very well again the leica prime lens. Way to go Canon
I've been a regular follower of 16-9.net lens test and I usually find the test and results are most reliable, honest and most important of all, it's practical.
The results of new 16-35 MkII test really show that Canon has finally come up with a WINNER but again QC is another issue all together. Testing and luck still comes into play to get a good copy. Cathay Photo here I come.......

Have been using it for almost 3 weeks now, and shooting with it for almost everyday, all I can say is that it did not failed my expectation. At $21XX (local warranty) it is really worth it.
Fresh stocks are arriving from Japan tonight
Let me know the price too :lovegrin:
Haha...all 3 of my Ls are used daily!
I like your job man!!! everyday can shoot shoot shoot :bigeyes: good justifications for L :sweat:
Fresh stocks are arriving from Japan tonight
so how much is it????? ;p
Supplier did not bring in as the prices are still not yet competitive enough. :embrass:
interested in getting one to replace my 17-40 on my 5d. how much diff or better does this lens make compared to a 17-40 which is almost half it's price. I know you get a new redesigned lens and faster aperature. It's not so crucial for me to have f2.8 because i use the 17-40 with flash all the time.
