Looking to buy one of the Canon L-lens and need some suggestion

Out of your choices I'd go with the 16-35 over the 14mm, then sell the 17-40. In my opinion the difference between 14 and 16 isn't that large and the IQ is pretty close if you compare them on Bryan's charts. Plus the range to 35.


But real world, I'd agree with Mark and say go for the 100-400 to fill your wildlife needs and the 17-40 is really good lens for you landscapes.

Thanks for all suggestions~


The reason I am thinking of those lens because I am trying to get best quality in different lighting conditions (also stop motion), therefore I am not sure if thats worth to buy 16-35mm f2.8 II (more wide? compare to 17-40mm) or 70-200mm f2.8 IS (compare to 70-200mm f4 IS)? If its not really make different then 100-400mm will be good


Maybe you guys got more exp?
