Review on Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L ll USM Zoom Lens: Optimized Performance for Canon EF Cameras by Bambang (bambang sup ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I would definitely recommend the purchase, I don't think there is anything wrong with it.

As a landscape lens, the Canon 16-35 f/2.8L II on FF is very good, so good that sometimes the picture and colors take your breath away. The polarizing filter (necessarily slim) on this lens does incredible things with the sky and clouds. I was able to fully appreciate all the advantages of Canon 16-35 only after I went through some creative stage with Canon 40D + Canon 10-22 and after selling Canon 24-70. Until recently, the Canon 16-35 was regarded as an expensive toy in landscape photography, in which the cheaper Canon 17-40 lens is quite manageable, especially if we consider the glass as an outdoor travel zoom, then f / 2.8 aperture on a trip, during the day Well, it's not needed at all. And then the amazing reporting abilities of the Canon 16-35 were revealed, which were usually performed by the Canon 24-70, and which often lacked 24mm. The luminosity remained the same, the angle is much wider, after all, 16mm is 16mm, and fr from 35mm to 70mm indoors when reporting is not very often in demand. So, perhaps for now, this lens will remain the only zoom in addition to the existing fixes.

Pros
  • Fast, light, fast AF, 16mm at full format make this lens indispensable in landscape and interior photography.
Cons
  • Inconvenient big hood, I almost never use it. Dear filters, I haven't been able to find an 82mm gradient filter for over a year now. My copy from 24mm to 30mm has a small cushion, which you can’t really notice in a landscape photo, but you can see it in the interior.
