Sharp corner to corner at all focal lengths and apertures. Worth every penny even at full price.

Fantastic landscape lens. Sharp corner to corner at all apertures. I use it with 5DSr.

11-24mm wide angle lens

This lens is about perfect ( if not cheap! ) The quality of the optics, the fact that it is NOT a fisheye makes it possible to take very wide photos such as landscapes without distortion while keeping all parts of the picture in focus.

Incomparable

Best of the best wide angle lense in all senses of the word. I always wanted Canon to find a way of using filters which I saw very remote, but when I got my R5 Canon made possible with the Drop-in Filter Mount Adapter EF-EOS R. Good going Canon!!!

Way over priced it F4 lens

I have tried this lens on my Canon 5d mk3 and it was astounding. Sure wish I had pulled the trigger and purchased it then. I'm not of Canon jacking up the price for this lens at all. After all it a F4 not a 2.8. Not made for the R mirrorless yet.

An excellent if somewhat specialized lens.

This lens works exactly as expected, a bit challenging to use but the results are worth it.

Amazing Lens

Bought this 3 months ago and I have used it extensively, both on land and underwater. The lens is used with my 6d Mk III and pictures I’ve taken are outstanding. Yes, it is expensive. Yes, it is heavy. That being said, the quality of the images even at the edges are crisp, with less than expected distortion. If you have the budget I would highly recommend this lens if you are looking for a wide angle lens.

Everything they said was true

I am a professional landscape photographer that primarily shoots ultra-wide scenes. I've shot almost exclusively with the 16-35mm f/4L IS for the last three years. That lens is a steal for what it produces. That said, sometimes 16mm simply isn't wide enough. The 11-24mm f/4L has been on my dream list for quite some time. I stumbled upon a splendid deal for that hulking piece of glass on Adorama and decided that it was finally time to pull the trigger. And...I couldn't be happier! Wow. The difference between 11mm and 16mm is not insignificant. Creatively, 11mm has opened up my world to a new range of possibilities. I intend to revisit some of my favorite shooting locations with the 11-24mm to work up new compositions. Contrast, color and sharpness is on a par with the 16-35mm. The corner-to-corner sharpness is superb.

Amazing for Architectural Photography!

Changed the game for my business! It has amazing sharpness! A must for a serious architectural shoot. The only problem is you have to be careful with composition sometime because it can really go wide and distort the edges. I love it!!!!

This was a big purchase, but what a beautiful lens. The wide angle field is extraordinary and the images are outstanding. Skip the 16-35 and go with this magnificent lens.

My experiences with the best Wide Angle Lens in its category - Canon EF 11-24mm

A great sharp lens for wide sweeping views of landscape and architecture. Wish it was f 2.8 :-). I have been very pleased with the overall performannce and sharpness of the lens. I wont get into the technical aspects of what makes this a great lens (you can read reviews for that) but here are things to keep in mind that was a learning experience for me - I knew most of it but using it live vs reading about it are two different things. And these are not complaints - just for you to consider for buy or not buy decisions. 1. First off, this is a heavy lens. Get used to it. For what it provides no way around it. 2. Second - this is a huge lens. I was shocked at how big it was but looks perfect on my Canon 5D IV :-). 3. This lens is wide - very wide. If you are in a public crowded place trying to get a photo without people - good luck with that. I live in Chicago and there are many places of architectural interest to me - and I find it difficult to frame a shot without people in it because it is so wide. But because it is wide, I am also able to get dramatic shots that others appreciate. 4. Distortion - I had to learn and work harder to frame the shot without bad distortion. Again not complaining but it was a learning experience and I had to adapt to it. 5. Vignetting - At wide open, be ready for vignetting. Yes I have heard fan boy reviews that says there is very little to no vignetting - dont believe them :-). At this wide angle and wide open there is vignetting and not something that is straight forward to fix in Post. It is fixable - just not a single click in LR. 6. Again this is not a complaint - but you cannot use filters with the lens - not unless you invest in something very specifically made for this lens. i.e. you cannot use your lens filter system like Lee. 7. Well - I do have one complaint though - LENS FLARE. Oh my god - does this lens have the worst lens flare?. Yes it does. At angles, this lens produces the worst lens flare and some of it I just give up trying to correct in post. 8. Dont try to take portrait or event photos - you wont be happy with the distortion. I was experimenting with it and I learnt my lesson :-). 9. And remember this is a specialty lens. Useful for landscape, architecture, real estate photos - not a general purpose lens. Hopefully you all find this review useful/helpful. I have had this lens for about 4 months - love it overall.

Nothing wider

I'm an architectural photographer and I shoot a lot of long single-story houses (mostly by Frank Lloyd Wright and his student Fellows). I need to get in front of foliage that blocks a full-length photo, and this is the first lens that solves my problem. And a zoom, to boot. No visible linear distortion, wow! Away goes my 14 mm lens. This is all I need along with my 24-104 f4.0 Canon zoom.

I think it too soon for me to write a review as I have only had one chance to use the lens, but on that occasion it definitely lived up to my expectations of sharp focus across a wide field of view.

This lens is unbeatable for near/far compositions. It really excelled in giving a unique POV for landscape photos. And 11mm landscape astrophotography is another amazing area this lens makes possible.

Purchasing a high end lens

I am very impressed. This lens is the best wide angle lens for a full frame sensor camera that his out there. If you invest enough money into a full frame sensor camera then you SHOULD have this lens. In short - It's amazing.

Canon EF 11-24

I have not had this lens for long but I really like it. Based on various reviews, I already knew this lens would take a little while to learn. Thankfully those reviews were correct and also provided me ways to enjoy this lens to its fullest. I am in the midst of this beginning process. So far: it is everything it is cracked up to be. More later when I hopefully master this lens.

No visible linear distortional 11 mm? Wow.

Until I looked thru it, I wouldnâ??t believe I saw no linear distortion at 6 feet from the lens. This is better than single focus 12 mm and the like. As I use it for architecture, this is important. Canon broke the 20 mm barrier almost 5 decades ago with their 19 mm FL lens. It had very minor handlebar mustache distortion at the edge of the frame, but that was half of what Pentax and Nikon offered at 20/21. Of course, one would not notice that except for photos of buildings or the like. The new lens gives me a travel case of only 2 lenses, 11-24 and 24-105, of course, both Canon.

Canon EF 11-24mm Lens

This lens covers a lot of ground. It is sharp from the near foreground to infinity. At the more ultra wide settings near the edge of the field objects get stretched out, but this should be expected. I wish this would have a close focus of 8" instead of 11-12", but that is me getting used to the lens and is not the fault of the lens. This is a great answer to shots requiring something wider than the 16mm or 14mm found on other Canon Lenses. It was a long time coming. The fit and finish of the lens is professional and what you would expect from other EF lenses.

meeting my expectations

This 11-24mm lens is very sharp and a joy to use. Be warned - it is heavy. I now have to decide if a ($) polarizer assembly (the front lens element is not flat) is going to be necessary. Working with this extreme wide angle lens is challenging, but it allows me to produce unique images. Helpful in the competitive marketplace for photographic images.

About Canon 11-24mm f/4L

PRO REVIEW by Nathan Lee Allen, Travel/Adventure Photographer and Influencer

"This lens is a beast. While it is larger and has some weight behind it, its extra reach at 11mm and flat f/4 makes it so much fun when shooting landscapes. I’ve shot with it in narrowest slot canyons in Utah, and it’s blown me away. It's one of my favorite lenses in my bag."

To experience the ultimate in wide-angle photography, the Canon EF 11-24mm f/4L USM brings L-series construction and optics to the widest zoom lens Canon has ever made. With an expansive wide-angle range of 11-24mm, this is an ideal lens for landscapes, interior shots and unique perspectives on subjects close and far. Its new optical design features Super UD and UD lenses that correct chromatic aberration. Four aspheric lens elements help to minimize distortion from the center of the image to the periphery and throughout the zoom range. A Sub wavelength Coating (SWC) and Air Sphere Coating (ASC) significantly reduce flare and ghosting, while a 9-blade circular aperture diaphragm creates beautiful, blurred backgrounds. For silent and fast AF, it features a rear focus system and ring USM and can be manually focused even when in AF mode. It has a minimum focusing distance of 11 in./0.28m (extreme telephoto) for admirable performance and results even when shooting in tight spaces.

Constructed to L-series specifications, the EF 11-24mm f/4L USM is durable and rugged due to its highly dust and water resistant design, so it is prepared for shooting in any number of environments. It also has fluorine coatings on the front and rear elements for reducing smears and fingerprints. With a compact design that includes an integrated hood and compatibility with all EOS cameras, the EF 11-24mm f/4L USM is a must-have lens for photographers that demand excellent performance for truly expressive images anywhere.
