Keith Cooper from Northlight Images also received a pre-release copy, and hopes to have a review up (testing in on his 5Ds) in a few weeks.
This is what it looks like in comparison to the Canon EF 11-24mm f4 L USM:

Not to be nitpicking, but it's " In the meantime" or "Meanwhile"

Hmmm........after 64 years of life I have never heard "in the meanwhile" just "meanwhile".... yes! In general one says....... "in the meantime"
It's worth mentioning! and not......" it's worth to mention"
I hope you don't take umbridge!

Well, you forgot to mention that "in the meantime" is 57 mio hits...
Also, http://dictionary.cambridge.org/spellcheck/english/?q=in+the+meanwhile does not find it.
And the Dictionary app on my Mac does not find "in the meanwhile", although it is then listed under meanwhile without further explanation.
As to finding 4.7 mio hits, there is no regional breakdown. In uk you have only 54'000 hits for "in the meanwhile" against 3.1 mil hits for "in the meantime".
Meanwhile is usually an adverb, perhaps that's why it doesn't ring well "in the meanwhile" . There does seem to be also
the noun of meanwhile, but not sure how frequent that is.
I suspect most uses of 'in the meanwhile" (like in the us) are "wrong" usage.

I'm not religious about this ... ;-)
Will try to remember.

no need to remember ...
Check

and
http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/meanwhile
Both can also be used as "in the meanwhile" and "in the meantime" ...

In these modern times expressions develop and come into fashion often because they "bump" us by their grammatical incorrectness. Some errors won't go away...where I used to live in Essex, (where they speak estuary English) many said "ball bearions" instead of "ball bearings" who knows why?
"In the meanwhile" bumps me, because I've never heard anybody use it, however these days everybody seems to say and can say what they like, the more grammatical mistakes the cooler it is.
I'm also fascinated by the French language and all it's expressions.
But really I'm old school English so I don't "do" bads.....init!
