No worries Matt. The big reason I wanted the Canon 16-35mm was because I wanted to be able to use filters with it without needing extra attachments. Having owned a lens similar to the bower 14mm (my Sigma 8-16mm where the front element sticks out of the lens) I was frustrated by not having an easy way to attach filters for normal day time photography. So that's why I went with the Canon lens. Plus I needed a full frame wide angle lens I could use on the 6D. I am also finding now that I am using my longer focal length lenses these days rather than my wide angle lenses and when I use the 16-35mm lens, I most of the time shoot at 35mm. Anyway that's just some additional reasons why I chose that lens. The Bower 14mm is a fantastic wide angle lens for astrophotography though mate. You can't go wrong with that!
haha Adrian, I'd love to go pro! Wanna hire me? I charge good rates!
