if you own one how do you like it, is it fast enough in low light or do you wish you sprung the extra dough for the 16-35 f2.8?
 
your spending that much already. save and get the 16-35 2.8. i have used it, its soo sick. what camera do you have? on a 1/6th sensor is pretty good, but on a full frame is sooo sick!!!
 
I own the 17-40 and have shot extensively with the 16-35 as well. I have had little issues with the af in low light with the 17-40. the chromatic abrasion is rather noticeable in some lighting situations but programs like lightroom have really good tools for fixing that. All in all I have been satisfied with the 17-40 and personally would'nt spend the extera money on the 16-35.
 
i shoot with a rebel xt i have a kit lens and a 70-300 f4.5-5.6 i need to expand a bit and what better than an expencive L series lens
 
I see little reason to spend an twice the cost.

I have had no problems using the 17-40 4, add in that it is slightly smaller and wider and I am set.

I am happy I decided to get it rather then save up another $700 for the 2.8. At that wide I really don't need the 2.8 anyway. maybe @ a concert or something, but I rarely shoot those. The 4 is plenty fast for me.

 
ya but its could always be a good thing just to have the 2.8 just incase.

you only really need to buy a lens like that once, i would still say suck it up and get 2.8.
