Amazing lens

A lot of mixed reviews out there. I having nothing bad to say about this lens. Opposite in fact. It is sharper across the frame than the 17-35 with less vignetting (almost nil), better contrast and 16 is nice to have on the wide end. The VR is very useful on a wide angle lens. Either using lower ISO, or a higher f-stop, VR helps. Now I can get steady church interior or city night time shots at deep DOF settings using lower ISO's. For example ISO 800, f/8, 2/5 of a second (hand held!), where as before I would have used either a tripod or a bigger aperture, higher ISO's with slightly faster shutter speeds. This will change how you shoot. During the day, I simply turn VR off. The 14-24 still outperforms it, but for $600 more it should.
