Canon 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM

..The EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM is a high performance, water-resistant,
and ultra wide-angle Canon lens. It's weight is 1.4 lb (635g). The build quality
is very good like it should be on a Canon L-lens. The lens is very sharp in the
center at all apertures but decreases against the corners at wide apertures.

Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L USM

This is an affordable L-series ultra-wide-angle zoom lens that's
ideal for both film and digital SLR's. The build quality is very good
and the resolution in the center is very high from the widest aperture,
the borders are good but it helps if you stop down a bit.
It's lightweight, only 17.5 oz (500g).

Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM

This lens does what many pros thought couldn't be done - replace the
previous L-series 28-70 f/2.8 lens with something even better.
It's now sealed and gasketed against dust and moisture. It's a very well
built lens and it is also relatively big and heavy 2.1 lbs. ( 950g).
It is very sharp for a zoom lens, especially if you stop it down a little.
This lens have some variations between samples so if you buy one
check it so you have a good sample.

Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM

This easy-to-use standard Canon lens can cover a large zoom
area ranging from 24mm wide-angle to 105mm portrait-length telephoto,
and its Image Stabilizer Technology steadies camera shake up
to three stops according to Canon. It's very well built and relatively
light weight, 23.6 oz. ( 670g) and weather proof. This lens is
extremely sharp, sharper then the 24-70mm f/2.8 but not as fast obviously.
It is slightly less sharp at 105mm then at wider zoom ranges.

Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM

The build quality of this Canon lens is exceptional. It's heavy, 3.24 lbs. ( 1470g).
AF speed is very fast. The lens is very sharp at wider zoom ranges
but less so at 200 mm, which is disappointing for such an expensive lens.
It is sharp enough for me though, it helps if you stop it down.
This fast zoom is weather sealed and comes with a tripod ring.

lenses and it is weather sealed. Very highly recommended.

beetween samples, so check it out so you have gotten a good one.
