The 14-24 is a bit weird. I looks to me like people buy it and then re-sell rather more quickly and frequently than other pro glass. It's impressive, but it's heavy, doesn't take filters, and is rather specialized. I think people, buy it, try it, and then sell it. I'd be interested in seeing its sales numbers. **
**However, don't get me wrong. I want one regardless.
As for the 16-35. It stays in as the budget option. If there's a new 16-35 f/2.8, it will be a $2000+ lens.
