Why does everyone use the 24-105 vs. the 16-35 on C100s and 300s?

I'm getting ready to buy a C100 but everyone I've seen out and about with a C100 or C300 is using the 24-105 lens.  24mm seems awfully narrow to me; wouldn't 16-35 be a better choice as the default lens for the kind of intimate shooting that the C100 is designed for? Or is there a conflict between the C100s and the various Canon 16-35s? 

Thanks

I have not heard of anything.  I would chalk up your observation as curious coincidence.  It's what they just happened to prefer.

I guess they wan't "normal" to telephoto, rather than wide to normal.
