I have one of each of them in my hands for which I'll be writing equally detailed reviews as soon as I can type them up.ĪLPHABET SOUP EXPLAINED Name: Canon calls this the Canon Zoom Lens EF 16-35mm f/2.8 L USM. Since this 16-35mm and the 17-40mm L do the same thing on full-frame cameras that the 10-22mm EF-S does on 1.6x cameras, I'll be making constant comparisons throughout this review. For these cameras, you have an easy choice: get the 10-22mm EF-S, which covers the same range on those cameras that this 16-35mm lens covers on full-frame cameras. Even this 16-35mm on a 1.6x camera only covers a range similar to what a 26-57mm lens would on a 35mm film camera. Of course the 16-35mm f/2.8 and 17-40mm f/4 work great on the 1.6x sensor cameras, but for those cameras the 18-55mm EF-S lens, for one fifteenth the price, is lighter and more agile.

The advantage of this 16-35mm f/2.8 is that it really does go significantly wider than the 17-40mm f/4 L, and wider than the 10-22mm EF-S on a 1.6x camera.
16 35MM CANON PROFESSIONAL
It competes directly with Canon's lighter and half as expensive Canon 17-40mm f/4 L which does pretty much the same thing.īoth these lenses are intended for use on film and full-frame cameras, as well as the professional 1D series with the 1.3x sensors. This 16-35mm f/2.8 L lens is, quite literally, Canon's heavy-hitter professional ultrawide zoom. See Crop Factor if I just lost you.ģ.) Solid metal filter threads make changing filters a breeze.ġ.) Big, heavy and expensive ($1,499 MSRP).Ģ.) Complex distortion, typical of every other superwide zoom, difficult to remove if you're trying to replace a view camera.ģ.) Inconsistent results shot to shot (focus isn't always dead-on), so try the one you get to make sure you're happy with it.Ģ.) Fuzzy and has coma in the corners at 16mm at large apertures, similar to 17-40mm L and every other ultrawide zoom. (The 17-40mm Canon is also wider than my 12-24mm on my Nikon). On the full-frame cameras for which it's designed the 16mm is worlds wider than my Nikon 12-24mm is on the 1.5x sensor cameras on which the Nikon works.
