Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM Ultra-Wide Angle Zo

Broaden your perspective with the Canon EF 16-35mm ultra-wide-angle zoom lens. Specifically designed for improved edge-to-edge image quality that meets the strict requirements of professional and high-end amateur photographers alike, the lens lets you bring more area into focus while providing greater depth of field. The lens features three high-precision aspherical lens elements--ground, replica, and GMo--that produce even better image quality than the original Canon EF 16-35mm USM lens. The circular aperture, meanwhile, produces a beautiful and natural background blur when shooting at wider apertures. Other details include internal focusing, a ring-type ultra-sonic monitor (USM), and new AF algorithms for fast and quiet autofocusing. The lens carries a one-year warranty. Focal length: 16-35mm Maximum aperture: f/2.8 Lens construction: 16 elements in 12 groups Diagonal angle of view: 108 degrees (at 10 feet) to 63 degrees Focus adjustment: AF with full-time manual Closest focusing distance: 0.92 feet Filter size: 82mm, P=0.75mm/1 filter Dimensions: 3.5 inches in diameter, 4.4 inches long Weight: 1.41 pounds more

Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM Ultra Wide Angle Zoom Lens review

I am a hobbiest with a 30D. This is my first 'L' series lens. I stressed over getting the EF-S 10mm-22mm and the f4 versions both of which are half the price of this lens. I went over the reviews here and at FMreviews. Next, I thought about where I would be using this lens. I tend to shoot...

Worth the price over the 17-40mm f/4

I have both the 16-35MM II and the 17-40mm. At the end of the day the images produced by both lenses are sharp. The main difference is the speed. f/2.8 v f/4. When daylight turns to dusk and you're still shooting (ambient light) the option to open up the lens makes it worth it. Sure its twice the...

Perhaps my most versatile lens. Excellent quality!

I now own 4 "L" lenses (see below). This 16-35mm f/2.8L is perhaps the most versatile for my needs. I often shoot interiors and landscapes at the wider ranges and the overall quality is excellent. The build quality of this lens is superb (as it should be). The lens is fast, quiet, focuses...

16-35mm Worth the Extra Money

I was debating between the cheaper 17-40L and the 16-35mm 2.8 II lenses. There is a significant difference in price between the lenses. In the end, I felt that having the extra stop of light was more important than saving a few dollars. After receiving the lense, I have been nothing be...

Sharp as a blade

I purchased this lens based on a recommendation from a friend and other reviews I read.It is absolutely fantastic. From its sharpness to its build, I can not fault this lens. It is a little heavy but it's nicely balanced on a 400D Camera body with battery grip.The price is very attractive on...

As expected

Like all "L" lenses, it is rather heavy. But that is the inconvenience you have to cope with if you want to have a superior lens. My test shots ALL came out as anticipated, fine details, sensitivity in low light conditions, and great colors. No regrets.

This Lens is worth the $$$

I use this lens with the Canon Mark III & Canon 40D. It was a bit $$$ but worth every penny. I have uploaded some images to the amazon gallery that are from bright sunny days to hand held at night. I also posted a shot of the milky way if you look under the Canon Mark III images. It was a bit of...

A wide angle to die for

I had been contemplating which wide angle zoom to buy for some time now, I photograph weddings occasionally and need it for indoor shots as well as for street photography. I had had the kit wide angle zoom once in weddings and the pictures were substandard. The 17-40 4.0 is cheaper for sure but I...

Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II Wide Angle Zoom Lens

"The Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II was able to produce a very good performance in most aspects. The center resolution of the lens is exceptionally high regardless of the zoom and aperture settings. The border performance is lower specifically towards the extreme ends of the zoom range and at large...

best canon wide angle zoom!

Since I have the 16-35 II I hardly have any other lenses on my 5d. It's just amazing! It has been improved noticeably compared to the first version and it's great fun to use 16mm on full frame!Of course, Canon can still work on the sharpness in the corners from 2.8-6.3, it's not perfect yet but...
