Review Summary

Thrilled to add another L series lens with capabilities I hadn't dreamed of using. The lens is a little heavier than I thought it would be, about the same as the 24mm - 70 mm. Very uniform zoom and hardy construction. If only the price weren't so high.

I have used this lens at 16mm for multiple images stitched together of interiors and landscapes with excellent results. Prints of 16"x 36" impress even me, a very harsh critic of my own work.

It is simply a necessity if you have a full frame or 1.3x crop canon. [...] I find that about 1/2 of all my shots with this lens are done at f2.8. In dim light having f2.8 means the difference between ISO800 shot and ISO1600 shot.

I have used this spectacular lens for the last few months shooting landscapes and a variety of subject matter and have been extremely satisfied with the results.

Canon is the way to go...very fast lens and great for those tight distance situations and cinematic landscapes! I highly recommend this lens!

Amazingly sharp and free of distortion, even at 16mm. A great landscape and architectural photo tool. Useful with both digital and 35mm EOS cameras. Quick, reliable focus action.

This is my third, and most expensive l-series lens, and it is everything I expected. It has a solid build and quality feel. It focuses very fast and is very sharp. The f2.8 is great for lower light situations such as weddings and interior shots without a flash. If you have the money and plan on shooting in lower light situations this is a great lens.

This one of my favorite lens. However,I do wish Canon had incorporated image stablilization making it even more useful in low light situations.

Coupled with the D-5's full frame sensor (no scale factor) this lens gives truly wide angle shots of sky, ocean, interiors, etc. that are unsurpassed for wide angle effects. (However, be sure to keep ur D-5's sensor meticuously clean as even the smallest dust particles will show!)

To meet the growing demand of digital SLR owners, this ultra-wide-angle zoom offers a broader view, fast aperture, and closer focusing down to 11 in. (.28m). The first EF wide-angle zoom to combine three aspherical elements and Canon's UD glass, the lens remains compact while providing superior image quality across its range. Constructed to pro standards, it's also highly resistant to dust and moisture.
