    • An ultra-wide zoom lens that is fantastic for landscapes
Style: Lens Only
I have owned and used the 16-35mm f/2.8L II lens for several years now. While it is a fantastic lens, I was never thrilled with its performance in the corners for landscapes, which for me was the primary reason for owning the lens. I switched to using the TS-E 17mm f/4L for landscapes and my 16-35mm f/2.8 usually just stayed in my bag - in fact I didn't even bring it along on my last photo trip. Now with the release of this new 16-35mm f/4L IS, my camera bag will always contain an ultra-wide angle zoom lens. I plan on making it my go-to landscape lens, and probably will only use the TS-E 17mm lens when I actually need the tilt or shift. This lens plus a 70-200mm f/4L IS will likely be the only two zoom lenses I carry for photo trips. The image quality is nearly prime like - I see little to no difference in the corners between this lens and the TS-E 17mm (without tilt or shift), even wide-open at f/4. Image quality in the center is fantastic, but the center was never a problem with any of Canon's ultra-wide zoom lens. Corner quality in their other ultra-wide zoom lenses have always disappointed, but this lens reverses that trend, delivering excellent image quality across the frame. Photos are sharp and contrasty, in the center and in the corners. If you are familiar with Canon's other recently released zoom lenses, such as the 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II or 24-70mm f/2.8L II, you can expect similar results from this lens - fantastic. Like most zoom lenses, there is some distortion at the extreme ends of the range - slight barrel distortion at 16mm and pincushion at 35mm, while there is almost none around 24mm. The amount of distortion appears to be similar to the 16-35mm f/2.8L II. Generally I have not found distortion to be a problem photographing landscapes with the f/2.8 lens, so this lens should perform similarly. Distortion can be fixed in software, but usually comes at the cost of a slight crop along with some loss of image quality. The 16-35mm f/4L IS has a 9-bladed aperture, which will result in 18-point stars from specular highlights (such as the sun) when using narrow apertures. The 16-35mm f/2.8L II has a 7-bladed aperture, which results in 14-point stars. Which is preferred is subjective, but generally I prefer more points on specular highlights. More blades on the aperture also improves bokeh ball look when stopped down, but on such a wide angle lens, only photos at the closest focusing distance have a chance of producing any sort of significant bokeh, and will be even less likely when stopped down. As most of my landscape photos are taken from a tripod, since I often take long exposures or multiple exposures for HDR, the IS will likely not benefit many of my photos. However, I will be glad to have IS when hiking and stopping to take a quick photo. For any single exposures, a tripod will no longer be needed. Build-quality of this lens is typical of most L lenses - excellent. It is very similar in look and feel to the 24-70mm f/2.8L II or 24-70mm f/4L IS. The body is plastic instead of metal, but it has a very solid feel and likely allows the lens to be a little lighter and cheaper vs. using a light metal such as magnesium. Like other recent Canon L lenses, it the hood features a finish that is less likely to show scratches and has a lock to ensure the hood cannot accidentally rotate. The hood on the 16-35mm f/2.8L II was very wide and took up a lot of bag space, so I often found myself leaving it at home. The hood on the 16-35mm f/4L IS is narrower, more like the hood that comes with the 24-70mm f/2.8L II. I predict I will actually be using the hood that comes with this lens. The fluorine coating on the front element will be a welcome addition to those that prefer not to use filters. Water and dirt wipe off much easier compared to lenses without a fluorine coating. I usually carry some Zeiss alcohol wipes to keep my gear clean. Remember that a filter is required to complete the dust and water resistance, so be sure to use a protection filter when using the lens in dusty or moist conditions. Those looking to stop motion, such as event photographers, may still want to buy the 16-35mm f/2.8L II, since IS is not going to replace that f/2.8 aperture. Otherwise the 16-35mm f/4L IS has better image quality, image stabilization, and costs less, so there's little reason to consider the 16-35mm f/2.8L II. The 17-40mm f/4L lens is cheaper than this lens, but lacks IS and also suffers from poor corner performance and vignetting. While the focal lengths are similar, I would also prefer having the extra 1mm at the wide-end (which is significant at wide focal lengths) over the extra 5mm at the tele-end. If you can afford it, buy the 16-35mm f/4L IS. I have long felt that an ultra-wide angle zoom lens that was fantastic for landscapes was missing from Canon's lineup of lenses. I am happy to say with the release of this lens, that is no longer the case. ... show more

    • This wonderful lens is now my favorite one
Style: Lens Only
Update -- 8-19-2014 I have now taken my new 16-35mm f/4 to shoot those pesky stars and let me say... I was right. The corners at f/4 are so nice. If you zoom in, you can see that there are still some SLIGHT issues, however, the corners are much better than when compared to the 17-40L. If you have to zoom in to see the problems, then most people who look at your image won't notice. There is virtually no image degradation in the corners and the center is so very clean. And it only gets better from there. Stopping down, you get improved resolution in the corners by f/5.6 and there is much less vignetting. When used with a Neutral Density filter, you can get some very nice looking long exposures. It is a little longer and heavier than the 17-40L, but the improvements far outweigh the size increase. As to the construction quality, it is so solid. The switches offer enough solidity without being to firm and the zoom and focus rings have plenty of grip on them. On mine, the zoom ring is a little stiff, however, it is a brand new lens. I've only ever bought used lenses until this one so I'm sure it will loosen in time. I am very happy with my choice over the 17-40L. Original -- 8-10-2014 Alright, so you're looking at a new wide-angle lens. You've obviously heard about the Canon 16-35mm f/4L IS USM Lens or you were directed here from another location on the Internet. Either way, you were now looking at reviews for a brand-new lens and possibly wondering to yourself, `How good is this lens really?". Well, let me see if I can help. Back in 2003, Canon released the 17-40mm f/4L USM lens to the general public and, as of today, you can get a used one from a reputable place here on Amazon or eBay for about $600 to $700. I rented one a couple of months ago and, to be honest, I thought it was pretty good. However, I was shooting some astrophotography and I noticed in one of the corners the "coma effect". If you take a picture of a relatively small circular object such as a star you will see that it looks somewhat deformed. Considering that this is something that I want to do, that's a problem for me. In reading around on the Internet the different reviews for the 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM released in 2007, I saw that it had the potential of having slightly mushy corners. Whereas on both of these lenses the center can be pretty sharp, the corners is an important consideration for me being as I want the entire image to be clear and stunning. Coming in at about $1500, I really didn't want to look at this one in the first place. Yes, it has the 2.8 aperture, but at 2-3 times the price of the 17-40, I would've much rather purchased the cheaper and older model and still have gotten about the same images. Now, here comes Canon's release of the 16-35mm f/4L IS USM at a middle-of-the-road $1200. The appeal to me wasn't the $1200 price tag. If that was the only consideration then I would've straight up purchased the 17-40, however, my consideration is based on all-around image quality. This means having to test out my new lens. So I did. As a short term test goes, the clichéd "brick wall" test is a good way to compare two lenses side-by-side. I compared it to my 24-70mm f/2.8L version I (a lens that is known to be very good) and went about looking at those pesky corners. The results give me hope about my new lens. The corners were very good when compared to my 24-70. However, being in the middle-to-end of summer makes it very difficult to want to go outside, even at night, to take pictures for hours. So for now, my short-term test is good enough for me. When I'm able to, I will update my review with my findings in regards to the lens with prolonged use. So until then, I hope my review helps you a little bit. I know it's not much to read, however, it's an honest review from someone who is attempting to use photography as a way to create something meaningful and amazing. If you want to watch the comparison video I made, then type "canon 16-35mm f/4l is usm review" in YouTube's search bar and look for my name. If you have any questions then please ask them in the comments and I will do my best to help you. Thank you for reading and happy shooting! ... show more
