Update: I have the 17/4L and 24/1.4L II in hand, courtesy of LensRentals.com — an outfit I really like and respect. Unfortunately, a “pineapple express” has moved in and heavy rains prevent outdoor shooting for today at least.

Update 2: rain let up, the 17/4L is a good sample and comparison coming, along with 24/1.4L II.

On the way are two more lenses to compare with the Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L and Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II:

• Canon TS-E 17mm f/4L [see review]
• Canon 24mm f/1.4L II [see review]

Both lenses were previously reviewed in DAP, and I’ll be showing how they compare to the zooms, which will provide useful comparison data for the zooms at 17mm, 21mm, 24mm, 35mm. I don’t plan much if any creative shooting for this comparison, it’s really a survey review of realistic performance expectations.

more coming...
