I'm very happy, it really is worth buying.

I will give an example of comparing Canon Ef-s 10-18mm f / 4.5-5.6 is Stm with 17-40 in full frame. I mostly shoot landscapes at wide angle. So this is a huge difference. On a full frame, 17-40 gives an excellent focal range, from 10-18mm on a crop I constantly had to change lenses. it's like walking around with 40mm and 50mm primes and alternating between them throughout the shoot. With a 10-18 lens, the picture is sharp only in the foreground, everything that shrinks and blurs far away. On a…

Pros
  • Red ring)) Useless rich equipment))
Cons
  • There is some vignetting at full frame. Manual focus for show. has a small ring travel and it is very difficult to focus on sharpness.

Exactly as promised by the manufacturer, high quality.

There are samples with a soapy left side (in full frame) even better on 5 it’s very, very good, given that there are almost no alternatives. Has some pros: Dust and moisture protection, USM, 77mm is noticeably cheaper to buy filters than its older brother. Got cons: on a full frame at 17 mm, the edges are still not very tolerable, but there isn’t much, unless you demand from him what he was not created for - that is, a large aperture, and an extended focal length.

I am not a professional, but I will say that it is not possible to use this Canon invention as a staffer (many honestly write nonsense) the lens is mainly for shooting landscapes, the architecture turns out great at a decent distance, otherwise it bends the buildings so much that it is impossible to straighten them (but this fact sometimes gives cool pictures) crop, I was not impressed, on the FF 5D MarkIII I sang here (I wanted to take a picture, try, learn, suffer and create) page=0…

Pros
  • I don’t want to repeat myself, a lot has been written, HE is really EXCELLENT, especially on a full-frame camera.
Cons
  • No at all, but if you find fault, I would like to have a "stub" on it.

Best thing for the money, glad I did it.

although this applies not only to 17-40, that is, for example, everything is sharp on the left, it can occur as a result of a blow, but, believe me, mark II (mostly landscapes) can be viewed here photo_page=1 and a little later in my LiveJournal: Com/ As a result, this is already my third 17-40 in a row, that is, I sold it, buying other lenses for trial, / 2.8, but I did not find any difference except for the price, weight and filter diameter of 82 do not get carried away with studying graph

Pros
  • This lens has quite a few advantages, but I will briefly dwell on the main ones: 1 Really working f / 4, Autofocus is tenacious, does not crawl and aims exactly at the target + Color reproduction is better than the EF-S 10-22, which I once used on the Canon 600 Filters 77 The build quality is at its best, Reasonable price.
Cons
  • There are no shortcomings, a good lens for sane money, but there will certainly be those who will compare with 18-55 and demand aperture ratio of almost 1.0, while forgetting why 17-40 is needed at all and under what illumination it is necessary to take photos.

Good value for money, I recommend it.

on a crop it will not show all the advantages of a wide angle, but it is quite enough to consider it a "regular" A few shots using this stick: http://500 http://500 http://500 http://500 http://500

Pros
  • Compact, not very heavy, UNKILLABLE (fell several times) allows you to shoot from a very close distance, which is nice - the need for a macro lens has turned into a "desired need"
Cons
  • Sometimes lathers, at 60 where you have to turn up the sensitivity, you want, of course, 2.8, but taking such a lens on 60 sometimes you want stronger cups :) Chromatic aberrations are visible at 17mm, sometimes very noticeable - http://500

The best thing for the money, I'm glad I chose this option.

I took it to the Canon 50D, the seller dissuaded me by offering an EF-S with an aperture of 2,8 He draws wonderfully! ) and I recommend it to you ! ) Pictures taken with this lens can be viewed here: on FF on crop https://500 ctx_page=1&from=user&user_id=21284323 https://500 ctx_page=1&from=user&user_id=21284323 I have been using this lens for more than 5 years,

Pros
  • - not heavy - the trunk does not leave - excellent run-up, especially on FF - sharp enough - Quiet, fast, tenacious autofocus
Cons
  • I didn' a pity the aperture is not 2,8))))

The best purchase in my life, I will definitely buy it again.

/ 2.8 and 28 / 2.8 wide-angle fixes, the combination of very good optical properties, it is very good, comfortable indoors, although here (and only here) it can be inferior to the Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8 I suggest looking at a few photos: 17 mm - page=0 17 mm, the sun is right in the frame - page=0 25 mm - page=0 not so sharp corners are cut at a wide angle, and color reproduction and contrast remain at their best, on the other hand, 40 mm focal length and f / 4 aperture at this focal leng

Pros
  • 1 Very good sharpness throughout the field in the range of 20-40 including with backlight, juicy color reproduction, an adequate level of geometric and chromatic aberrations, which practically disappear from a 20 for example, at 17 mm focal length, focusing to infinity significantly reduces distortion compared to focusing on close objects, although not completely, Moisture and dustproof design, especially if you wind the protective filter, A full-featured USM ring drive provides very fast, quiet and accurate autofocus and continuous manual override (FTM) Almost round diaphragm with 8 A very nice price compared to competitors for such a convenient lens.
Cons
  • 1 to 20 (approximately) MP Canon 5D, MP, you should not rest so much on this shortcoming, it does not affect most frames so much, and from 25 / 21 or at least a Canon EF 16-35mm f / 4L IS USM for completely different money, and the same more expensive Canon EF 16-35mm f / 2.8 The presence at a focal length of 17 to 25 mm (approximately) A hood and a soft case are included, but they are of little use, I do not use them.

Wonderful quality, one hundred percent satisfied!

Good wide angle at full frame. despite the fact that at 40mm it "washes" the background occasionally a tiny bit (when shooting close). An outstanding worker on the crop overall. I have several photographs taken by him in my album; those who are interested should take a look (although there are a lot of photos from the car window) Following are some advantages: Excellent level of detail, even at the f4 setting; at f12, I usually keep quiet. Unbelievably quick Universal Self-Masking (USM)…

What you need, a cool purchase, I advise you.

Everything there is to know about him has previously been discussed one hundred times. I will only mention that the lens is very old and was not designed for modern matrices. Because of this, anyone who has a new camera with a high number of pixels should check the resolution of their camera first. I would say that it is not a great situation for the year 2022. I switched to the ultra-wide EF-S 10-18mm 4.5-5.6 IS STM, which doesn't cost much, can be stored in a pocket inside a sock, and offers…

Pros
  • - a crimson stripe - a sign of protection - cheap, if used, despite its lightness and visual quality
Cons
  • For a complete frame, it's probably fine, but the cost of a new one is quite pricey. - I'm not sure what enables modern dense corp matrices.

The right product for me, there were no problems.

The L-ka that costs the least, but is still an L-ka. This is an excellent lens for a crop camera. There is no question that the 17-55, 17-85, and 15-85 are superior to the 18-55 in the event that you do not actually require a long angle of view. A little dark, of certainly, but this is not a problem on a nice carcass (ISO / flash). This one is not quite as sharp as the 16-35/2.8, and it is a stop darker and a little narrower at the wide end. However, the price-to-quality ratio is clearly better

Pros
  • This lens has already received an adequate amount of praise; there is not much more that can be written about it. Both the letter L and the red stripe make their point abundantly clear. The sharpness of the lens, the build quality, and the inclusion of a case round out this package. For a very long time, not even a single speck of dust or a scratch could be found on the surface after being subjected to the elements, such as rain and the impact of falling from a height of growth. Naturally, it is only used after going through the filter. There was not even a single lack of focus. Even when it was pitch black. I am ecstatic with how well the zoom ratio turned out. Does not change size when zooming.
Cons
  • To achieve the desired results with the Canon 50D, a few adjustments were necessary. It is not particularly sharp between apertures 4 and 5.6, but it is sharper than any EF-S. Only with 15-85 can it be compared, and even then, the second range serves somewhat different objectives. My aperture is almost always closed to 8-11 because the range involves use either for landscapes or indoors (of course with a flash), and in this state it is very sharp. The range involves use either for landscapes or indoors. When you need a portrait - at the long end and with the aperture wide open - then ringing sharpness is not necessarily required, and light software is even suitable for the portrait. When shooting macro with a built-in flash (if such perverts exist), there is a problem that arises: due to the size of the lens, it casts a shadow on the lower part of the frame that covers more than half of it. This can be problematic. If this may be considered a downside, then removing the cover once the hood has been screwed on is a pain in the neck =) This issue can be remedied by using a wound filter.

Good product for me, no problems at all.

Hey, look at all those flinging! Take an EF-S 17-55 or an EF 17-40 L, with a yellow or a red ring, an F2.8 or F4 aperture, with or without a stabilizer, with or without moisture protection, with or without a trunk. It's not hard at all. If there is still FF, then there was no need to ask such a question in the first place. Several advantages, including: the quality of the performance. It's a maid in Japan; that about sums it up. Seems solid and decent. - Grew up like a local after being…

Excellent quality, absolutely not expected for such a price.

This glass has been my go-to for a very long time, and I've been employing it for a very long time. There were sigmas and other such things. When I picked it out for 20 francs all those years ago, I should have just bought it with the first glass and regretted it ever since. Highly recommended for the first glass (which will likely be the last glass for the majority of fans). Get exposure to quality while spending a reasonable amount of money. With all of its perks. Versatile on crop. Like an…

Matches the description completely, very satisfied.

Excellent piece that is also quite attractive. Everything from colors to working with backlight to the flexibility of the picture to the L-drawing is included on the metsa. The minimal focusing distance enables you to experiment with macro photography of a medium-sized subject. On a crop, I put it to work as a member of the staff. He copes with this work not at all 100 - it is large for a carcass xxxd (and even more so with a hood) and behaves not in the best way at the far end. Despite this…

Pros
  • It completely retains backlight, the color reproduction and contrast are good, and the focusing is both quick and accurate. The quality of the materials and the assembly are of the highest standard.
Cons
  • At 40, it's little soapy and heavy.

I'm very happy with the product, it's very satisfying.

Excellent option for touring and taking in the sights. Another one of his hobbies is shooting from a tripod in low light or indoors. It is recommended that you use filters with a narrow or wide-angle focal point. using the typical filters when shooting at wide-angle vignettes. Only applicable when using full frame. I strongly suggest that those who use cropped-sensor cameras give some consideration to the Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM lens. Pros: Price. Lightweight and condensed in size…
