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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I am amazed at how well made the product is, just magical!

The vast majority of individuals who examine this lens consider it to be a staff lens, frequently using it as a substitute for a whale. Furthermore, these individuals believe that if they purchase the most affordable lens that contains the letter L, they will be able to acquire an excellent universal lens; as a result, a number of erroneous expectations are generated. I must inform you, gents, that this lens is NOT TYPICAL. This is an excellent example of a highly skilled and specialized LANDSCAPE. It is optimized for shooting landscapes when the light is favorable, or taking long exposures while mounted on a tripod. Skip the 17-40L and go straight for the 24-70L or the Sigma 28-70 instead if you want a lens that can handle the majority of shooting situations. It is an excellent specialized lens, which, in addition, opens up much better at full frame due to the angle of view. The same lens is designed for shooting landscapes at f/7.1 and above, partially architectural shooting, as well as perversions with distortion. The poor Japanese people are kept awake at night because they are able to see how this glass is used for reportage or pictures; thus, have some compassion for them and refrain from doing it =) For those who are aware of this and are interested in making a comparison with the 16-35L, I have the following to say: the 16-35, in contrast to the subject of the review, is fantastic for reporting and is extensively utilized by the same wedding photographers. If you require such an application, you should consider purchasing 16-35. If you are interested in wide-angle or landscape photography, the quality difference between the two types of shots will be negligible, and the additional cost will not be justified by the results. Dixi.

Pros
  • 1. the representation of colors. After the shoot, very little tweaks were made in Lightroom thanks to the strong contrast and vibrant colors. 2. Exceptional work done in the shadows 3. Because it does not contain any moving parts, you can use it without fear in a variety of environments, including sand, rain, dust, and so on. Tested in the arid climate of Africa as well as on sandy beaches. And in general, it is designed like a tank, making it excellent for use in war or shooting in the natural environment. 4. An extremely sharp lens, particularly when shooting at an aperture of 7.1 or higher. I printed it out in sizes as large as 100 by 66 inches, and the quality is excellent. 5. A quick and accurate autofocus, even when there is not a lot of light, but this is not the most important feature. 6. The bending of reality Strange as it may seem, this is also a benefit, because fish effects can be readily created with straight hands without having to spend one thousand dollars on it, and in general, it can be enjoyable to experiment with it. 7. It is lightweight; of course, it cannot be compared to old plovers, but less than a pound for such glass is an excellent weight for it to have.
Cons
  • 1. Distortion is something that needs to be taken into consideration, particularly in the context of architectural photography.
