In addition to the above, which is spot on, note that San Disk is known to be a reliable brand. In fact, I believe SD cards are so named because San Disk invented them. So using a San Disk card that is not their top of the line is one thing, but I would never trust a no-name cheapie. If you consider that every 24 or 36 images would have cost you the price of a roll of film plus developing, memory cards pay for themselves.
Reliability is key. Why spend thousands on a camera and lens only to put a cheap card in it. With SanDisk ans Lexar cards I have never had a problem. I have used Transcend cards but the transfer speeds don't compare well against SanDisk or Lexar cards. I have found Transcend cards to be reliable but have slower read/write speeds. I tried a number of cheaper cards and ran into a few problems with them being unable to be read after a while- I will not mention any of the brands that I had problems with.

Here is the first photo from the 16-35mm F4L lens (it is just a test shot so it is nothing to write home about). I just pointed the camera out the office window to check the operation of the lens.
I will put it to the test over the next few days.

Thanks for all the replies. Some of the resources I had already read and some I had not.
The reviews confirmed what I thought. I have settled on the Canon EF 16-35mm f/4L IS USM lens.

The f/2.8 III is twice the price. I don't know if I can justify that offhand. How bad is the chromatic aberration on the f/2.8 III in the corners wide open? What about the vignetting wide open? At about what f-stop does it disappear?
Thanks.
Thanks.

I have been comparing reviews for this lens and the other lens that are similar (16-35mm f/2.8-versions and the 17-40mm versions).
Does anyone have any opinions on these wide zooms? I am leaning towards the Canon EF 16-35mm F4L IS USM Lens cost wise and I don't really need the f/2.8. I would be using the lens on a 5D MK IV and a 1Dx.
Thanks.

As I recall, the largest memory card is a 2Gb.

Some windows are tinted. One on the office buildings I work from has windows with a bluish tint. Shooting in raw allows for correcting the white balance in post processing.

I use a fine point permanent silver sharpie to mark my accessories. I also put the dates that I got the batteries on them.
I've done this for years. With a little effort, water, and a rag you can wipe the Sharpie off when you are ready to sell your gear.

I don't quite understand your question. My 5D MK IV will take the photo even if I over or under expose more than 3 stops. The manual is referring to the exposure meter.

I use those cards in my 5D MK IV. Lexar 1066x (128 GB) CF card and the SanDisk Extreme Pro (256 GB) SD card you listed. I can record 4k video on either card with no issues.

They should have said that EV-3@ISO100 with a lens of specific maximum aperture like f/1.4.
They stated on page 576, the conditions; f/2.8, One shot AF, Room temperature, and ISO 100.

I believe that the sensitivity to -3 EV is telling you how much light is needed for AF on the center AF point. The 5D MK III has a rated sensitivity to -2.5 EV. Sensitivity of -3 EV would probably AF in moonlight (full moon).

I print hundreds of 4x6 prints so my wife can use them in scrapbooking. I print many 8x10s to put in frames for my office and home office. A few actually make it to the walls- I do have one 24x36 print currently on the wall among the 8x10 prints. I have a few 16x20 prints awaiting frames and placement on the wall.

Try this:
While in AI Servo, do a short burst while holding down the BBF button- the AF point should show on the LCD for all the shots.
Now push the BBF button, shoot a short burst but let up on the BBF button. The AF point should show on the shots where the BBF button was depressed and not on the ones where the BBF button was not depressed.
This is the way both my 5D MK III and 5D MK IV work.
