Review on Ultra Wide Angle Zoom Lens for SLR Cameras - Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L USM by DoanQuynh Chi ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I like everything, the price and the quality are both ok.

We needed a good wide-angle lens for shooting landscapes, interiors and people at a wide angle with the highest quality picture (sharpness, color reproduction, contrast, minimal distortion and no HA). These qualities are only for L lenses. I thought about buying a Canon EF 16-35mm f / 2.8L II USM, but when I started counting the money for the purchase, common sense took over that I DO NOT PARTICULARLY need it for THIS MONEY .)) I looked in the direction of 17-40. A 1mm wide angle difference (16mm vs. 17mm) and a 2.8 vs. 4 aperture doesn't really matter to me at this angle, where basically everything needs to be sharp.

Pros
  • - good contrast and colors; - practically no HA; - sharp in the center and along the edges; - quickly and silently focuses; - constant aperture at zoom; - correct geometry; - dust / moisture protective properties; - build quality inherent in class L. - adequate price.
Cons
  • - no stabilizer (but you need it!)
