Canon Lente 17-40mm f/4L USM Importado

This is the best group portrait lens I own. It's a great all-purpose carry around lens.

I needed to replace my Tokina 12-24 with a new zoom lens that roughly covered the same general focal length range. Staying with the Canon L-Series line, my two choices were the EF 16-35mm f/2.8L and the EF 17-40mm f/4L f/4.0. I couldn't justify the twice the cost 16-35 and went with the 17-40 lens instead. I am very happy with the purchase of this lens and I feel that, for the price, I now have a great lens. The only downside is the loss of 5mm combined with smaller sensors on my Mark II and 7D bodies. The speed of the lens did not play a factor into the purchase.

Disclaimer - I am not a pro.

I use it on a 50d and my other lenses are a 70-200 F4 IS L and 50mm F1.4.

I wanted something that took decent wide angle shots and couldn't find a prime lens that was similar in quality to my 50mm-- the 14mmf2.8 and 24mm f1.4 were not great value for my needs. I had a choice between 16-35f2.8, 24-70mmf2.8 and 24-105f4. I chose this lens as the best compromise between price and quality for my needs.

The picture quality is much better than the 18-200 kit lens that came with the camera. It appears comparable in quality to my other lenses, albeit I can't compare the 3 of them directly given their different focal lengths. The end pictures are quite sharp, minimal distortion and minimal CA. It is also quite light.

The key con for me is that it isn't fast but I knew that walking in.

Overall very pleased with the value for money.

I bought this to use with my Canon 60D. Great build quality and feel, excellent photographic results. Fairly compact and light for an L lens. I use this mostly for outdoor work.

Comments about Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L USM Lens:

First L lens I have ever used, and it is by far a welcomed addition to my arsenal. I do mainly portrait photography and I am a strobist so f/4 makes no difference compared to the 2.8 model. I noticed this lens is sharper at a couple stops up from f/4 and peak sharpness is around f/8. Love using it for tight spaces or adding a flair of artistic value, to stretch limbs. It does wonders for women's legs while using it at around 17mm. Keeping in mind the angle you are at and lighting comes into play. I give it a 5 stars when coupled with a B+W haze filter to finish off the package and to make it weather sealed. You will love this lens for portraits or for landscape photography.

This is my first wide angle lens for my 5DMk II and it has opened a completely new dimension of photography for me. I could not wait to try it over the weekend when it arrived and I was extremely pleased with the results. It focusses fast and suits me for my kind of low light photography as well. Stellar results and I highly recommend it.

Do not wish to take away credit from B&H for a wonderful price and excellent on time delivery to me here in Singapore. Am very very impressed with their service.

I use this lens for weddings,and works great

Ever since I sold my 30D and 10-22 for a 5DII I haven't had wide angle capability and really missed it. Finally decided to buy this lens after reading several reviews around the web. What a great lens. Light weight, much lighter than the 24-70, more compact, and captures great images.

Vignetting is a bit of an issue wide open, but its easilly correctable - and how often do you shoot a scene where you would notice it (like the sky) wide open? Lens hood doesn't do much except offer some physical protection.

I do a lot of video production these days, and its working out well for that, too.

Is great for adventure pictures!

Comments about Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L USM Lens:

This is an excellent lens for the money. The choice for me came down to either this lens -- which cost me [$] from B&H -- or the slightly faster Canon 16-35 lens at nearly twice the cost.This lens focuses fast, focus is sharp and the pictures -- at least with my 5DM2 -- are nicely saturated and show acceptable contrast. Keep in mind this is NOT Leica glass, but for Canon, this glass does a very nice job capturing images.One other very nice feature of this lens, and one that is very important to me, is that the zoom is all internal. In other words, when zooming in and out, the lens does not extend outward beyond the end of the lens. The outward extending zoom lenses are a pain to use particularly if the lens is a heavy lens to start with. The heavier the lens the more it can throw the balance of the lens+camera off. I wish more Canon zoom lenses were all internal rather than the extend type.I would highly recommend this lens to anyone with a Canon camera based on image quality, color rendition and of course cost.Finally, I highly recommend an Onyx 10 case to carry this lens around with. The cases that Canon includes with their lenses is not protective at all and should only be used to carry candy and snacks, not expensive glass!

This lens is one of the best you can get for the price. It's got great optics, L-lens construction quality, very well-controlled flare (but when it does occur it's quite pleasing), and covers a great wide-angle range without having the lens barrel extend as you zoom. It can also focus quite closely, and the ultrasonic motor focuses quickly and quietly.

It feels solid and refined, but like the perfect size and weight for a 7D, not too light or too heavy.

All around, it's just a spectacular lens, great for DSLR video since nothing rotates or extends when focusing or zooming, and the 17-40 focal length makes it perfect for an APS-C sized sensor camera.

I'm using a Canon 7D. I took a few test shots around my house and backyard. The pictuers look
very clear and sharp.Will give it more starts once I give it s thorough testing.

Up until know I had been buying used, or lower end lenses, but I considered this lens an investment in my future, so I bought it for myself as a Christmas/ New Years gift. I shoot mainly pet photography but I also do some street photography.
I have only had it a few weeks,so I have not shot all that much with it, but I will say it is super fast, and I am loving some of the close action shots that I am getting with some of the dogs. Wide angle photography is all new to me but I am starting to get the feel of the lens, and all it can do. It has a solid build quality and looks impressive! The only cons are it seems to be poor in low light, and the other con is very minor... The hood looks ridiculous!At first I was shooting without it, but was having trouble with flare, so the hood stays on now and my photos are much better for it. I would recommend this lens to anyone.

Comments about Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L USM Lens:

Mostly scenics.
Great image!
Little wa distortion at edges.
Not up to usual L quality image.

Comments about Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L USM Lens:

Build quality is excellent.
Fits the range I needed for landscape shots.
Color and sharpness, while maybe not on par with something like a Zeiss 21mm Distagon, is very acceptable for the usable range gained.

Comments about Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L USM Lens:

Very well built and good deal. Very sharp and great colors. Could be a little wider for my liking but I'm used to very super wide lenses like 12 24.

Quality is great.
Would buy again

Replace my
ES lens with the
ef its like night and day

Comments about Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L USM Lens:

This lens is perfect for crop cameras as a general purpose lens...from landscape to even portrait. It's not perfect for portrait, but it's good enough for a quick snapshot with little distortion at wide angle. This lens is perfect for landscape. It was snowing when I got my lens..and I took it out for a shoot, everything worked fantastically as it's weatherproof and man...the contrast and color this lens offers is fabulous...The focusing is fast and silent..as this is using a USM motor..and the front element doesn't extend..so perfect if you're using a filter holder, or screw-on filters. The zoom ring on the lens is nice, solid, and smooth. The hood that comes with it is also very nice..hard and strong to protect your lens from collisions, and block out flares. If you can't afford a 16-35mm L lens...get this to start with..you'll love it. With the money I paid, I'm really satisfied and enjoyed it so far. B&H's service is really responsive, when I was asking about the tracking code, they replied to me the next day. This lens just makes me really happy...again...if you are thinking about replacing your kit lens for crop cameras..get this for under $800...you won't regret it. However, the only con for this lens would be its lack of IS and so its f/4 aperture..so this lens won't be ideal for hand holding in low light situations. You can check out some pictures I took to compare at my blog- francongphotography at wordpress.

great lens for a great price, but only justify in a full frame body otherwise take the 10-22mm EF-S.
