It's a feature, not a defect.
I'm actually looking at selling the 17-40 now and getting a 16-35 instead.
I love my 10-22, but I'd love it even more if it was a 2.8.

My wish list looks like this:
50mm f/1.2 L 16-35mm f/2.8L II 200mm f/2.8L II USM Telephoto
But in reality, I'll probably buy the pancake lens next because it looks cool and it's only $150. I want the 16-35 2.8 II next. And a macro. From what I've read, the 50mm 1.4 is better than the 1.2. Don't waste your money on it. I want the 85 1.2 also.
Seems like the 50 1.2 vs 1.4 always boils down to a heated debate, and I'm not sure how much of it is people with the 1.4 trying to feel smug for 'outsmarting' everyone else, and how much of it is people with the 1.2 trying to justify their expense lol. My amateur take is that a 1.2 would be great for letting the light in, but in my long list of 'lenses-to-buy' it's toward the bottom. I'd rather do the 85 1.2, 24 or 35, macro, 24-70, pretty much everything else first, and stick with my 50 1.4 until the end, when all my other significant lens upgrades have been realized. just my .02

I will say that the top two on that list are neck-and-neck in my "if I just land this gig I'll buy that lens" fantasy.
I use the 50 1.4 I have a LOT, and I love L lenses, so I've always wanted the 1.2. On the other hand, I really want to shoot some wide angle landscapes with the 16-35.
One thing anyone on this list should agree to: before dropping hundreds of dollars on ANY of these lenses, I think it'd be smart to rent one first and try it out. I fully plan on doing that before I buy.

I want a 24-70mm 2.8
Then decide between the 85mm 1.2, 100mm 1.2 macro, and 135
Which L prime is the best? do you mean 100/2.8 macro? this is best for you b/c it has IS for video
For me the 100 2.8 IS and the 135 F2 are the most attractive/realistic.

As much as I love my 100 2.8 IS L macro... my 100 2.8 marco non-IS takes just as good of photos... The IS though is terribly nice to have, again, for photos.
Fuck video.

Really though... that 35 2.0 looks pretty awesome. I wish the 24 was a 2.0 also. Interesting (if you give a shit about DXOmark's numbers) enough, the 35 1.4 is rated at 1.6T on a full frame and 1.8 on a crop, while the 35 2 IS is 2.0T on both. I'm not sure if you've done enough low light stuff with both to know, but do you get the feeling that the light coming through isn't exactly 1/2 as much on the 2.0?
(the 24 1.4 and 50 1.4 apparently exhibit this too, while the 24 2.8IS and the 40 2.8 STM are 2.8T on either frame)
/spends too much time on dxomark.com lulz no gym for home? lol...but seriously...explain the 1.6T thing?
It's a measure of how much light actually gets through the lens. So while the 35 1.4 has twice the aperture size of the 35 f2, it doesn't actually let 2x the light through to the sensor (assuming dxo mark's measurements are right). If the 35 1.4 is rated at 1.6T and the 35 2.0IS is rated at 2T, then the 1.4 is actually only letting 65-70% more light through... i.e. its biggest (really only?) advantage over the f2 IS is the extra stop, but even that advantage isn't a full stop's worth of light because it's less efficient at letting the light through. http://www.dxomark.com/index.php/About/In-depth-measurements/Measurements/Light-transmission
IIRC it's mostly for filmmakers, since it makes it easier to switch lenses without having a huge lighting difference show up.

bought it!
What that red ring do?
Finally found one for under $600. Def not mint on the outside but glass is in great shape, focuses super fast and quiet. Took a few practice shots and liking it so far.
Its the 28-70mm 2.8L (The precursor to the 24-70mm 2.8). Couldnt afford the current version but hopefully this will do ok. Took a few pics outside and the colors are amazing.
Only down side is its still to long on a crop body! Was hoping to replace my tamron 17-50mm 2.8 but might need to upgrade to FF first.
I did notice its a little tight to put on and take off compared to any of my other lenses, but not really a big deal.
