16mm vignette test
I thought I'd give a demo of the standard vignette on the new 16-35 F4 IS L. In direct comparison to the 17-40 L which I also have, the vignette seems to be worse at first glance (back of camera) on the newer lens. However, once on screen, you can see that the newer lens is no worse at the corners than the old, and a big improvement towards the middle.
Once Lightroom releases a lens correction profile for the 16-35 F4 IS L, it should be great, as the new glass is definitely sharper, and the IS is massively useful in my opinion.
On a telephoto with IS, you're looking to get a shot with your aperture wide open, and the IS allows you to shoot at 1/30-1/100th all day. The huge benefit with IS on a wide angle for me, is that now, even though I could always hand hold at 1/15th, I can now crank up my aperture and get an even sharper image.
Overall thoroughly happy with my new glass... anyone want to buy a well loved Canon 17-40mm F4 L ?! hehe.
