...the better lens?
Ignoring price which one?
The Canon EF 17-35mm f/2.8L USM Lens....OR
the Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L USM Lens?
I am curious about distortion, clarity, and crispness.
Thanks.

Just a clarifying question: are you sure that second one is USM?
It doesn't say that on the DPC Canon lenses page: //www.dpchallenge.com/lens.php?MANUFACTURER_ID[]=1

To double clarify you mean the first because the second is listed!

I just copied and pasted the lens, so I think so.
Let me check out Canon directly.

For a $1600 Canon L series lens, it better have a USM drive...
As far as I know, the 16-35 is going to be better. It's newer and therefore has the latest in lens technology and construction. I haven't used either so this is just my assumption.
Here's a direct comparison

It is a USM lens, every site that I've looked at says it is and all the photos say "Ultrasonic" on them.

Does anyone have personal testimony on these lenses?

It's going to be almost impossible to find someone who has experience with both, and even harder to find someone who's done a direct comparison. The 16-35 II has been shipping for just a few weeks, and the 17-35 is a discontinued model, replaced by the original 16-35.
From initial reports of the 16-35 II, it's better than it's ancestor, and if it's not decidedly the best of the three, I'd be extremely surprised. |
