You are quite right. I had some problems with Canon EOS 5D and 1Ds mk I 
and mk II with 14mm and 16-35mm. Things improved with new 16-35mm but 
finally everything is allright with new Nikon D3 *and* Nikkor 14-24mm 
f2.8. Have, if you wish Tina, a look to:

Every of those pictures was taken with  this combo although some of them 
are cropped.
