Why wait for ICBC? All you have to do is make another two BS arrangements to shoot photos for hockey teams, get paid up front, and then skip out on your commitments.

I've heard that the Nikon 14-24mm is one of the best wide zooms ever made...ever consider that one?

The 14-24 is the best wide zoom widely available today.

What makes the 14-24 so superior (in terms of technology)? Canon's 16-35 f/2.8 is pretty damm good.

the fact that they some guy made an adaptor to make that lens compatible with the canon mount... and it sells out.

The only lens Canon is missing now is something like the 200-400mm f4, IMO. Quote:

No, the 16-35 f 2.8L II is nowhere near as good as the Nikon 14-24. The 14-24 is sharp corner to corner on a 24MP D3x. The Canon 16-35 is not sharp corner to corner even on a 12MP 5D. It's sharp out close to the edges, but suddenly falls apart, it's not a gradual softening like the 17-40, so if you crop a bit, you can potentially have a sharp image.

Canon and Nikon are like the biggest camera rivals out there, I am surprised that Canon has not gone and tried to match Nikon.

Nikon's just announced the 24mm f1.4 & 16-35mm f2.8 many years after Canon.

I have one in stock ATM.

16-35 is something that wasn't needed. I was actually pretty happy witht he new trifect (14-24, 24-70, 70-200)
16-35 to me doesn't make sense.

16-35 to me doesn't make sense. | A 16-35 makes perfect sense. For many pros, the 14-24 is simply too wide. the 16-35 range is more usable for environmental portraits, as an example.
