Great quality, happy with it one hundred percent!

I don't own this great lens but have been using it all summer. The bottom line is that I really liked it. 16mm on the short end is something. It turns out such sunsets on the sea! Evening and night cities for him are a couple of trifles. The lens easily conveys the warmth of a tropical evening, and the canvas of the lilac night sky over Hong Kong, it seems, can even be touched by hands. Excellent glass with excellent performance. If your credo is shooting landscapes, architecture, groups of people, panoramic shooting - this lens is for you. If you are going to shoot all this in difficult shooting conditions, at night and at dusk - especially yours . Is it inferior in quality to the L-series fixes? Yes, it fails. But not much. His weakness is in universality, his strength is also in universality. The choice is yours.

Pros

Of all the zooms from Canon, this one is the best. The most popular (for me) focal lengths, amazingly sharp for a zoom, color reproduction is very good, very beautiful pictures are obtained. Well made, reliable, fast.

Cons

There are flaws, of course, but when compared with the 17-40 of the same manufacturer, it is simply excellent. It is noticeably inferior to the fixes of the L series, but not critically. There are all the distortions that should be present at such wide angles. Any slight improvement in quality will cost quite different money. I will not evaluate how much it should cost, in my opinion, more importantly, for this money it is a very good thing.
