Pros:  Wide,sharp, exquisite build
Cons:  Doesn't take front filters (polariser)

Cons: not really much wider than the 17-40L in practice. Doesn't take a polarising filter.

Pros: Build quality is mouthwatering. Image quality is excellent (stopped down). EDGE quality is MUCH better than the 17-40L

I bought this expecting it to be noticeably wider than the 17-40L. Because it wasn't I returned it. That's not a fault with the lens - I should have done more research.
