  • EASILY my new favorite lens
Product Packaging: Bulk Packaging
I've been transitioning all my equipment to full frame (from my 60D to my 5D). So I used and loved my 10-22mm lens the few years I had it. Certainly the cost is extremely higher on the full frame bodies and lenses, but man this lens is incredible. The focal length is almost 100% identical to the 10-22mm (focal length measurements adjusted for crop body, 10-22 = 16-35 on a full frame sensor), so if you've ever used that lens you know what to expect focal-range-wise. Unlike the 10-22mm which does not fit a full frame body, you *can* use this lens on any body, whether cropped or full-frame, but it is *definitely* not worth the price if you are just going to be using it on a cropped sensor camera (60D, 70D, T4i, T5i, etc), because you lose the extreme wide end which is what is so awesome about the lens. I've used the lens quite a bit for real estate photography for great wide shots of rooms that can get *all four walls* in the frame at its widest. Really any architecture or landscape shot will look incredibly awesome at 16mm due to the very interesting perspective achieved at ultra-wide. You'll want to dial back the aperture though since at 2.8 you won't get tack sharp focus at very much of the image. But if you have a particular subject you want to focus on rather than the entire scene, 2.8 is great as it allows for better shots in low light or better bokeh, depending on what you're going for (the 10-22mm's max aperture on the other hand is only 3.5-4.5). If you look at 100% crops near the corners of shots taken at either focal extreme, it's not perfect, but it can get pretty close to perfect when you get the lighting and depth of field just right. I am honestly very happy with the copy I got as far as overall sharpness goes. The majority of its use is in video, paired with my Glidecam, and those two pieces of equipment make an epic pair. In 1080p video the entire shot looks nearly perfect with minimal work, so the fact that 22 megapixel photos don't look perfect in every spot in every situation doesn't matter too much for me as I purchased it with a much higher priority on video quality. And videos with this lens are amazing. The included lens hood and pouch are just icing on the cake. The Canon-branded hood I bought for my 10-22mm was the most expensive hood I ever purchased, so I appreciate that the L-series lenses come with them bundled in. Autofocus is very quick and 100% accurate on my copy, another noticeable improvement from my old 10-22mm. There is no IS but at 16mm you would rarely need IS, so I am okay with that omission, especially considering how much extra weight and cost IS would add to the lens. The date code on mine showed it was manufactured in 2013 (purchased in Feb 2014), which is good because I always worry about dropping a ton of cash and somehow ending up with a really old copy. Mine is flawless and I am enthusiastically looking forward to many years of use on this lens. ... show more

  • Excellent lens for CINEMA as well as stills, makes all the difference
Product Packaging: Bulk Packaging
Allow me to fill in a little niche gap here. Obviously this is a great lens for still photographers, but for all of the DSLR filmmakers out there who are having trouble with lackluster and muddy video results, the problem lies not with your camera; you need to step up to the L-Series glass. The primary issue with the 7D, 5D Mark II, etc. is the chunky artifacting and pixellation that comes from the poor compression codec built into the processor, or so we all thought. However, the key is, primarily, the quality of the glass in front of the sensor. This lens seems to nullify nearly ALL of the drawbacks of the HD video processing in my 7D. I can expand frame grabs up to 4k resolution, and they still hold up! 2K and 3K looks fantastic. THE GLASS MAKES THE DIFFERENCE. It's borderline magical. This lens is nice and fat, just like a cinema lens, and therein lies much of its power. The bigger glass allows more light to enter into the sensor, giving the camera more "information" to pack into the frame, whereas with cheap, small lenses, the sensor has to essentially blow up and extract a muddy image from a tiny window. Drop the contrast, sharpness, and saturation settings to zero, add some L-Series glass, and your DSLR video can compete with Genesis, Viper, and can even hold its own against Red, at 1/10th of the cost. This lens is perfect for the 7D's APS-C sensor. With the 5D, vignetting is a bit of an issue wide open. The focal range is perfect for walk-around footage, steadicam shots, and wide-angle effects shots. Consider this an essential range. If you want professional-quality video, you need to have L-Lenses. I no longer care about the cost...I am immediately replacing my lens lineup with L-Series glass. I can't believe I've run a photo/video business for 6 years without L lenses! Besides, compared to other lens manufacturers, L-Series lenses are actually quite cheap. I've had the benefit of comparing this with Panavision lenses and I can assure you, there's no significant difference in the results. NONE. This is a gold mine for independent filmmakers. Shell out the cash. AND be sure to add a few hundred more to the cost of this lens, in the form of high-quality filters! Protect your glass! And do it properly...there is no point in spending $1k+ on a lens if you're going to ruin it and put a piece of plexi-glass in front of it...just because you want to save $50. Get a $100 multi-coated (MRC) UV filter from B+W and just think of it as an insurance policy on your lens. Put on the filter the moment you take out your lens and never take it off. Happy shooting! You will love this baby. ... show more

  • Fantastic lens. Not perfect, but an incredible complement to the 70-200
Product Packaging: Bulk Packaging
I've been using this lens for almost 3 years now and is my tried and true walk-around lens. For an ultra wide zoom, I never thought I'd come to love the bokeh it renders when using at 35mm, close focus distances, wide open. The lens also makes incredible 14 point sunstars when you're going for that effect, it's absolutely fantastic! I happen to use this indoors and outdoors for both landscape and street photography. I've found the extra stop of light extremely valuable, to the point where some shots just would not have been possible (e.g. indoor cathedral, candle light @ 16mm, hand held, 1/4sec). I don't have any experience using the mkI, but I have traded my 16-35 II with a co-workers 17-40 for a few weeks and made the the following observations (on full frame): 1) wide open, noticeably better performance in the corners on the 16-35 (all focal lengths), just a hair sharper in the center. 2) sunstars are far more pleasant on the 16-35, and not as clearly defined on the 17-40 (even at f16). I'm a big fan of landscape photography and creating sunstars 3) obviously, a stop faster, allowing for shots at night or indoors that otherwise would be impossible handheld 4) 1mm on the wide spectrum is far more useful than 5mm on the long end. That said, it's highly arguable if it's worth paying twice as much for a very similar lens. For my needs, there was no question which lens belonged in my kit, but sometimes regret paying so much for it. The 17-40 is a much better value for the $, unless you absolutely need the widest, fastest, zoom lens in canon's lineup (as of march 2011). As much praise as I have for this lens, there are two things that fall short for me: 1) Chromatic Aberation. My biggest dissapointment with this lens is the mild to moderate chromatic aberation (some situations worse than others) in the corners at nearly all apertures, something I was hoping all the numerous UD and aspheric elements would have corrected for. Thinking this was a defect, I returned my first copy to have a second copy exhibit the same CA. I sent it into Canon who reported nothing wrong with the lens/camera combo. I can deal with the softer corners (others have complained of) wide open since those are the areas I usually want out of focus when shooting @ 2.8, but it's annoying to have to correct for CA, due to how often I shoot with this lens. Not a deal breaker for me since I can correct in post, but it's annoying and something important to note. 2) Softer center at 35mm @ 2.8. This zoom is tack sharp in the center from 16-28 wide open. The center resolution @ 35mm falls off more than I would have liked. If Canon ever released an answer to Nikon's 14-24 2.8, I would not trade this lens. An extra 2mm on the wide end would be fantastic, but losing 24-35mm would kill the versatility of the lens for me as a day-in-day-out, do-everything lens! ... show more

  • Worth every penny... Worth every penny...
Product Packaging: Bulk Packaging
I have been making images with some sort of camera since the early 1960's. In the mid-1970's I got my first SLR. It was some time before I was able to afford a wide angle lens, but when I got one, it opened up a whole world of imaging that was previously unknown to me. This lens has been reviewed by many people and has been criticized as well as lauded for it's properties of build quality, brightness, sharpness, and the quality of color it transmits to the sensor (or film). My concern about sharpness in the corners was based on some critical reviews. But like so many reviews of so many lenses over the years, they're not telling the whole story. Simply put, in practical application of this lens, it is incredibly sharp and produces incredible images. It's a very handy package, though the lens hood is challenging to get into a pocket when you just want to carry the lens in the pouch and walk around with little but a camera and a lens or two. I have no regrets about purchasing this lens. It's everything I hoped it would be. I had considered buying the 17-40mm because of the savings and because of the same-size filter (77mm) to other lenses in the line. I imagine paying twice as much for this lens and then piling the filter on top of of that is going to put some people off. I am glad I waited and raised the money - the extra speed of the lens and extra angle of view at 16mm was well worth an extra week of selling film cameras and old lenses on that popular auction site... If you're trying to decide to buy this lens, I will not give you any information that will discourage you - in terms of technical quality this lens is unbeatable. If you don't need the speed, or don't expect to use the lens much, the savings on the 17-40 might be worth it. For me, I'm guessing this lens is going to be on my camera a bunch! ... show more

  • Great Lens
Product Packaging: Bulk Packaging
This is a great lens for up close or far away. If you are taking pictures of people, you'll want to get right up on them. It's not a great lens for "walking around", and is probably best suited for landscapes and shots of the milky way. So far I've used it to photograph my dogs (What a long nose you have), at a ren fair where it was a bit too wide for individual pictures, but good for crowd scenes and on the golf course where it can make a 5 foot putt look like a mile. The 2.8 aperture produces a nice bokeh to blur out what you don't really want to see, and over all it's a lens we should all have in our bag. That being said, I was on the fence about whether to buy this lens or the 24-70 first. I bought this one used for about half the price of a new lens because it was a target of opportunity. I think I would have been better served with the 24-70 so far as utility, but the price was just too good to pass up. It IS quite heavy, and the filter size is as big as they get as far as I can tell at 82mm. It's also significantly quieter than my cheaper lenses and sounds a bit odd after all these years. Hopefully it's a quirk of the lens and my ears and not a sign of trouble with a used lens. ... show more

  • What's in the box from Amazon!
Product Packaging: Bulk Packaging
Ok, here it is fast and dirty and I wish other people would explain whats in the box! First, the lens! 16-35mm of pure luxury mojo! Its big and beautiful all the girls will Envy you! I'm talking big! 82mm! Second, the standard rear lens cap. Third, a very nice leathery pouch with draw strings. The bottom is rounded and has a thicker leather part to better to protect your beast! Fourth, a lens cap that can choke a horse and yes its my first expensive lens so of course its lot bigger than my starter lens. That is only 58mm a huge difference! and last the Canon EW-88 Hood. It has a USA warranty card and with Amazon Prime shipping you'll get it nextday for sure for just 3.99. Its like 80 bucks a year to be a member and I piss that away just breathing lol. Anything order from Amazon as the seller is pretty much guaranteed overnight if you order it that way. All others beware of 1-5 day processing times even if you order it nextday it will take days! I learned my lesson hopefully you too! I was not sure how this was going to turn out but I'm really happy with it! PIC EXAMPLE. If your sitting at your computer right now and you take a picture of your computer screen from about 8 inches away, you'll get the whole screen! Thats how wide of an angle it is! and I got a 24" computer screen how crazy is that from 8 inches? Now try this with your camera at home using a starter lens like the Canon EF 28-105mm 1:4-5.6 USM and see what happens, not even close! So again buying this here was the best price and its the same apples to apples if you where buying somewhere else! So now you know ... show more

  • Sharper than version-1
Product Packaging: Bulk Packaging
This is my best lens so far. I used the version-1 for 7 years and then finally upgraded and it was the BEST decision I ever made regarding a lens. This upgraded version is better in following ways: 1) SHARPER - Not just in center but all around. I am noticing crisp details in my pictures that I didn't notice before. I have been chasing sharpness all my life and this lens has gotten me closest to my goal. 2) REDUCED SOFT CORNERS - From what I understand the main reason Canon upgraded this lens was to get rid of soft corners and they have succeeded considerably in reducing the problem if not completely eliminating it. If you can avoid made wide-angle of 16mm, you barely notice anything ever. 3) BETTER AT HANDLING POINTED LIGHT SOURCE - My version one, everytime I pointed at light source it would fill up the whole picture with all kind of octagons. This lens doesn't eliminate them completely, but reduces them significantly and whatever is left actually serves the purpose of making it artsy. 4) WORK-HORSE - For outdoors it meets most needs (can't shoot wildlife with it for obvious reasons). Fast and silent focus! Did I mention SHARP pictures. Definitely worth the price and most certainly justifies upgrading from version-1. ... show more

  • Never had so much fun with a Lens
Product Packaging: Bulk Packaging
I bought this Lens having quickly grown out of Kit Lenses on my 5D Mk2. My Pictures were cropped by the limited lens size and I found it frustrating. My shots were unsatisfactory every time. I ponied up the nice chunk of change as my camera teacher advised to make the investment. Having read the reviews it was safe to assume I wasn't making a mistake. I decided on the version without IS as I mainly do landscape and nighttime photography and am not one for big action shots. This Lens arrived and I immediately felt the difference. The 5D full frame goodness on 16mm is funny when you are asking people who are standing beside you to move back. They respond as quite confused usually. I can safely say this is the most fun lens I own and usually my first preference for sightseeing or day trips. The 35mm gives me good magnification for normal shots but the 16mm grabs the spectacular image my eyes see it if not a little more. Quality is great and as a self professed amateur learning photographer I cant get too much into detail because I am learning so much courtesy of this great lens. I wish I had picked this lens earlier on. Night shots with the massive 2.8L aperture are simply spectacular and I am looking forward to going into the boonies to test it on the stars without the city light noise. All in all, If you can afford this or stretch to afford it I strongly suggest it for the landscape / traveler photographer. ... show more
