    Worth every penny...
    I have been making images with some sort of camera since the early 1960's. In the mid-1970's I got my first SLR. It was some time before I was able to afford a wide angle lens, but when I got one, it opened up a whole world of imaging that was previously unknown to me.This lens has been reviewed by many people and has been criticized as well as lauded for it's properties of build quality, brightness, sharpness, and the quality of color it transmits to the sensor (or film).My concern about sharpness in the corners was based on some critical reviews. But like so many reviews of so many lenses over the years, they're not telling the whole story. Simply put, in practical application of this lens, it is incredibly sharp and produces incredible images. It's a very handy package, though the lens hood is challenging to get into a pocket when you just want to carry the lens in the pouch and walk around with little but a camera and a lens or two.I have no regrets about purchasing this lens. It's everything I hoped it would be. I had considered buying the 17-40mm because of the savings and because of the same-size filter (77mm) to other lenses in the line. I imagine paying twice as much for this lens and then piling the filter on top of of that is going to put some people off. I am glad I waited and raised the money - the extra speed of the lens and extra angle of view at 16mm was well worth an extra week of selling film cameras and old lenses on that popular auction site...If you're trying to decide to buy this lens, I will not give you any information that will discourage you - in terms of technical quality this lens is unbeatable. If you don't need the speed, or don't expect to use the lens much, the savings on the 17-40 might be worth it. For me, I'm guessing this lens is going to be on my camera a bunch!
