A good quality product, I rate this purchase perfectly.

For a professional, an excellent tool with its own shortcomings, which can be compensated for by the style of work and experience.
For the hobbyist, this is a great tool for shooting landscapes, architecture, and interiors in tight spaces.
The main thing to remember is that this is not an all-rounder, it will not give you the same variety of shooting that, for example, 24-70 gives. When purchasing 16-35, you must understand exactly what tasks you are going to solve. I can say with confidence that this stele solves its tasks perfectly well in capable hands.
 During his years of passion for photography, he went through many lenses. Now I have come to a decent set of L fixes, which I am working with. The only zoom that remains is the 16-35 of the second version and I'm not going to sell it yet.
P. The opinion is based on using the lens only at full frame. I don’t see the point of using it on crop.

Pros

Excellent, time-tested and hundreds of thousands of professional photographers lens. In my opinion, one of the best zooms from Canon. The advantages can easily be attributed to: - build quality. Three years of active use of a no longer new lens did not leave any special signs of aging on it. The wheels run smoothly, nothing loosened, no problems have ever arisen. - focusing speed. I have heard from colleagues that their 16-35 is not as fast as we would like. I don’t know what’s the matter, but my copy impresses with its tenacity and speed. Focuses instantly, even in very poor lighting. - an excellent implementation of the focal length, despite the fact that at 16 mm it is a little soapy around the edges, there is distortion, again. On the other hand, it's just a tool and the photographer needs to know how to use it. - luminosity. At 2.8 it is quite light. It seemed to me that it was even a little lighter than the 24-70 of the first version, with a similar focal length.

Cons

From my point of view, they are rather far-fetched: - focal. The ability to seriously increase the angle often plays a trick on inexperienced users. Objects at the edges are heavily deformed. You have to cut, especially if there are people there. But that's more of a photographer's problem. - soap along the edges by 16 mm. It is, but it's forgivable, given the opportunities that the lens gives.
