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…

When I shoot, I use a Canon 400D and I make sure that the software sharpening is turned off. And everything is perfectly clear even at the highest possible resolution of 10 megapixels. When compared to film photography, digital photography is an abomination, and the primary reason for this is the excessive use of software sharpening. But you won't be able to turn off every lens's illumination. And you are able to do so with this. The photo looks very much like it was scanned from a film. When…

Since 2022, I've been utilizing the lens in my work. When I first started using it, I had a Canon 50D, which made it a good staff lens for most everyday tasks. Now that I have a Canon 5D Mark II and a Canon 1Ds Mark III, however, it has become an excellent landscape lens on a full-frame camera. It does a pretty good job of conveying volume. Sharp at f 5.6 - 8 (I don't advocate covering apertures larger than f11 because no one has yet eliminated the diffraction limit), excellent accurate color…

It was the first Elka for the 50D, to replace the 18-200. In terms of color reproduction and sharpness - like heaven and earth, autofocus hits quickly and accurately. On 50D (crop) the lens works like a staffer. Very satisfied with the purchase. Its pros: Elka, that says it all. The sharpness is incredible. Excellent construction, quality built. Dust and moisture protection. Excellent autofocus. Excellent value for money. Different cons: Aperture (indoors without a flash is difficult), i…

Great choice for travel and scenery. Shooting from a tripod (night or interior) is also his hobby. Filters for it should be slim/wideangle/or something like that. With conventional filters at wide angle vignettes. Used only on full frame. For owners of cropped cameras, I recommend paying attention to the Canon EF-S 17-55mm f / 2.8 IS USM Pros: Price. Lightweight and compact (very convenient when traveling). Beautiful colors (a plus for landscapes). Virtually no distortion (no distortion,

It is convenient to use as an additional lens for "general shot", "group photos", . Good results when shooting panoramas, but here, again, you need to take into account possible distortion (ff / crop). Taking into account the fact that in 99% of cases the lens is used for "slow shooting" with f / 8, f / 11 - its aperture, in my opinion, is not critical. Has pros: Build, weight, auto-focus, image quality, even the price - no complaints. Some cons: When used on ff-cameras, with fr less than 28…

Great lens for your money. I took a new one for 23 thousand. He draws very beautifully. Not always sharp at the maximum hole, but does an excellent job with apertures from 5.6. You need to be careful when shooting paintings, mirrors, posters - at a wide angle, sometimes the lines are strongly distorted. At 40 (64) mm, not bad as a moderate portrait. Has some pros Universal FR on the crop. Sharp enough. Working hole 5.6-8. Great for daytime reporting. Moderate landscape painter. Normally holds…

I really wanted to, I took it, I’m happy, but now I want a bigger hole (16-35 2.8) I recently compared it with 28 1.8 XA in it a lot, but at 17-40 I just don’t, I felt the quality of the El series, that is, it turns out no worse than fixes :) Some pros: zoom, focus inside! a wonderful thing, it doesn’t smear, there are no backlashes, you can feel the quality in your hand Different cons: we can fill up a little at full frame, but it's 100 degrees! maybe a little dark, but these are technical…

I went to this glass for a long time and have been using it for a long time . There were sigmas, etc. . I regret that I didn’t buy it with the first glass when I chose it for 20D back in the old days . As the first glass (and for most fans the last) I definitely recommend. Experience quality at an affordable price. With its pros. Versatile on crop. Like a staffer. There are no problems with flash with aperture ratio . Reporting with a bang . Draws interestingly . The quality is at the level…

I use it on 5Dm2. I shoot landscapes with them, sometimes just people. The lens is very well made, good lens hood. Filmed in the rain, remained alive and unharmed. The sharpness of the picture is very good. Many tests say that the lens is "so-so", but I took a chance and bought it to use it, as a result, it fully justified the money spent. I advise everyone. Pros below: Good, sharp, excellent range of focal lengths, solid construction, standard equipment for the L series, 77 mm thread, no…

Until 17-40 I used 16-35 2.8L II, but how could I make sure it was not for a cropped matrix (Mark has a crop factor of 1.3), it lathered a lot during the pictures, so I had to part with it. I use it for staged compositions with people (not a portrait) and for landscape motifs. Pros: In tandem with the EOS 1D Mark III draws just the same gorgeous. Really sharp lens. Ideal for cropped cameras. Color rendering is top notch. On a closed hole, when shooting landscapes, it produces decent shots. Be…

Oh those throwing! Take EF-S 17-55 or EF 17-40 L, yellow ring or red, F2.8 or F4, with or without a stabilizer, without or with moisture protection, with or without a trunk. It's simple . when there is still FF, then such a question did not arise. Different pros: - Quality of performance. Maid in Japan and that says it all. Looks solid and good. - Bought for crop 77D, to replace a staffer, got up like a native. - Lighter staff. - Autofocus is just a bullet. Practically does not smear. Although

And I also want to note its unsuitability as an alternative to portraiture. Of course, the lens was not intended for shooting people, this is so, as a warning to overly optimistic comrades. It makes sense to put this lens on a full frame camera to fully enjoy its "wide view of the world" and a wonderful, rich picture. Its pros: A very reliable thing indeed. Devilishly smartly induced. Different cons: It reveals its potential on 5D, in combination with 7D it gives a rather dull picture. I…

I have been shooting with this glass for a long time. In the photographer's case, such a lens, as they say, is a "must have", like the 70-200. 16-35 so far the cantor can’t afford me, but I don’t think that it will be useful to me, he still fills up a little coal, but I can’t do this). So, I feel that we are from 17-40 forever.)) Different pros: FAST!) This is the fastest lens I have ever used. The angle is clearly good. Constant luminosity. Virtually no distortion at the wide end. Well, in…

Excellent lens for shooting from a tripod at a small aperture You don't need to demand anything else from him. Compared to 16-35, light and compact, you can carry it with you everywhere. It loses in aperture ratio, on a closed aperture, the pictures cannot be distinguished. Pros: At full frame, I use the main travel zoom in the mountains and in cities The picture is excellent at 8 f-stops. Cons below: Vignetting - removed in Lightroom Poor picture wide open - a lens for leisurely shooting

Excellent wide angle at full frame. although at 40mm it sometimes “washes” the background a little (when shooting close). On the crop, an excellent staffer. I have photos in my album from him - for those who are interested, look (although there are a lot of photos from the car window) Pros below: High detail, even at F4. at f12, I generally keep quiet. Incredibly fast USM autofocus motor - focuses faster than the eye) moisture protection really works - in Thailand I got caught in the rain…

Was taken to replace 18-55, in addition to the Canon EF 70-200 f / 4L USM, did not disappoint, with the flash CANON SPEEDLITE 430 EX II is great in a dark room, the main thing is to use the camera and flash settings correctly, it shoots landscapes perfectly, and in sunny and cloudy weather. Got pros: Compact, fast autofocus, natural color reproduction, moisture protection, comfortable hood, does not catch hares, the front lens does not rotate, adequate price, although you always want cheaper…

For a long, very long and painfully approached the purchase of this lens. I chose between it and Tamron SP AF 17-50mm F / 2.8, especially since the latest version of Tamron was equipped with a stabilizer. I tested it in stores, crawled through the forms, but in the end I chose Canon. Maybe the red stripe and the letter L worked in a certain way. According to subjective feelings, the native lens seemed to me better. It focuses faster, the angle is wider. They often write that they come out HA…

The lens is just a fairy tale! I chose from several instances of test shots of the radial world. Mine is very sharp throughout the frame. Elka says it all. Top quality build! although the lens has dust and moisture protection, it is still recommended to install a protective filter. I put MARUMI UV WATER PROOF COAT with it, the lens made great friends))) it does not chromate or vignette. The picture gives a very sharp and juicy. Focuses almost instantly even in low light. I compared it with…

I use this glass as a second lens and exclusively as a landscape lens. It is difficult to use as a regular one due to short adjustments with the absence of a stub and wide-angle with inevitable distortion, and in this case it is quite pronounced. The glass is essentially of very high quality, the internal focusing is real - nothing leaves or rotates. Included is a standard L-shaped set of a hood and a sock like a cover. With an increase in shutter speed, shooting without a tripod looks like a…
