The Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM Autofocus Lens is a high performance, water-resistant, and ultra wide-angle L-series lens. The optical design has been improved to offer better edge-to-edge image quality. In addition, it features 3 high-precision aspherical lens elements, each of a different type: ground, replica and GMo. Improved AF algorithms will help the lens to focus faster and quieter.
All of the "L" lenses deliver optical performance equal to similar fixed focal lengths lenses, and the USM lenses do this with silent, high-speed focusing. Distortions and aberrations are remarkably small for a lens of such amazing capabilities.

This lens is the ultimate in wide angles from Canon, I am using it on my 6D FF Camera. Images are sharp throughout, its easy and a pleasure to use. Note there is no Image Stabiliser, but essentially I imagine for the shots taken with this lens you will use a Tripod. You wont look back that's for sure!

I use this lens primarily on a Canon 5D Mk2 which really shows up any weaknesses in a lens. This ultrawide zoom has almost none. It is very sharp over most of its wide field of view with just a hint of softness at the corners. Stopping down to f8 to f16 makes this almost unnoticeable, even in large A3 or A2 prints. The only time I use it wide open at f2.8 is for low light conditions in cramped interiors, or to photograph the whole orchestra at a concert. It does the job well.
