February 24, 2006 - I have to reiterate that this review is merely about my sample of the 17-35 lens and one should not expect that all other samples to perform similarly on digital at the wider focal lengths, at or near wide open aperture. My sample of the lens is possibly an early production sample that were known to have been afflicted by QA issues. New lenses are suppose to be just fine. Again, sample to sample variation and luck of the draw. Pros are known to test as many samples as possible before picking the best of the lot when they want to buy new lenses, so if possible test the prospective lens before purchase.
