Canon Lente Autofoco EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM USA

Comments about Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM Autofocus Lens:

I also own the amazing 24 TSE II. While the 16-35 can't quite match the optical perfection of the TSE, it is very sharp at the wide end and great throughout the range. It is also much more versatile and easy to use which makes it preferable when traveling.

I sold my 17-40 for this lens. I enjoy having 2.8 as a walk around lens, with closer subjects you still get some dof control. And at f4 the 16-35 is way ahead. For landscapes stopped down, the 17-40 is also very good but my 16-35 is much more consistent across the entire frame. You can get great shots with either lens, in reality.

A wide zoom, weather sealed, with f2.8, fast AF, excellent performance, AND it takes filters. Sure it's not perfect, but unless you're printing HUGE, the versatility of this lens will get you more keepers than some incremental improvement in image quality (i.e. the ZE 21 or Nikon 14-24).

The incorporated flash in 600D cannot be used with this lens from 16mm to about 23mm because there is a shadow projected by the top of the lens.

I like the photos very much

My first L lens. Great build quality, sharp pictures, fast aperture and wide angle (even on my 1.6 crop factor body). Movement is solid (focusing / zoom rings) I have nothing negative to say about this lens other than the price! But thats to be expected with L builds. Im really glad I bought it. Worth every penny.

Comments about Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM Autofocus Lens:

I tried 2 copies of this lens, I really wanted to be impressed. Unfortunately neither exceeded my experience with my 17-40mm.

Of course it is built like an "L" lens, but for the price differential in the 2 lenses - there should be a noticeable IQ or some tangible improvement.

I am sticking with the 17-40mm

Since I am using a 1.6x crop camera - maybe those with FF would have a different experience.

2nd lens i bought, the first being a 70-200mm F2.8L II USM lens which i read is pretty much the staple lens to get for general purposes. First thing i had to learn was to not put subjects on the edges of the frame due to the barrel distortion (Is that correct?). I took an engagement party for fun and some of the pictures the bridge to be was 2 times wider haha, anyways lesson learned :p. Honestly the first L lens i bought was so much more impressive over the standard kit lens and this lens is no less. Extremely fast and quiet focus even on the 5D MII (which has problems focusing). Seems like the closer you get to 35mm of zoom it will have less distortion as well.

Comments about Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM Autofocus Lens:

A must have lens for any professional to have in the kit bag.
Im on a Canon 60 D so crop factor is 1.6x which is not ideal but none the less its a beautiful sharp lens and it does the job fine for what I need it for.

Just read the reviews about this lens and you will be sold.

Not the smallest of lenses but who cares once you see your shots from it.

On a full frame camera the lens would defo come into its own and show all its glory on the wide as well at the tight field of view.

The fixed apature all the way through is worth every penny at the end of the day.

Great lens! Everything I was hoping for, particularly for landscapes. Still going through my own testing process, but so far excellent results. Sharp from corner to corner in all f-stops.

Comments about Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM Autofocus Lens:

This product fulfills my arsenal of lenses. This lens is great for wide landscapes and perspectives.

Comments about Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM Autofocus Lens:

The lens takes crisp shots, you do have to watch your corners when you are at 16mm. The only downside I can tell so far is the price.

Comments about Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM Autofocus Lens:

Wonderful landscape lens.

Having a little difficulty with architecture as far as perspective goes

But I'm pretty sure it's a function of field of view.

Comments about Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM Autofocus Lens:

A bit of distortion at 16, but very nice at 20. Well built and very sharp.

Comments about Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM Autofocus Lens:

I like what im seeing so far from this lens. Its almost as clear as mt 50mm 1.2. Focus is much better. I do have to bump up the iso to 800 when shooting with this lens in my house. I am happy with it overall.

Comments about Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM Autofocus Lens:

Fianlly bought this lens as I get ready to upgrade to a full frame. I've shot with it before and was always impressed with the results. you really can't go wrong with lens, even on a crop sensor camera.

Comments about Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM Autofocus Lens:

This is my first wide-zoom lens, and so far I'm very impressed. Reasonably sharp wide open, and great across the whole range.

Comments about Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM Autofocus Lens:

I am more than happy with the performance, quality and images it has to offer.I find this lens to be versatile and equal in most cases to my prime lenses.

Comments about Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM Autofocus Lens:

Together with my 35-70, these lenses make a great duo. Both are sharp, fast and accurate. They are a little heavy, but well worth the extra weight.

Comments about Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM Autofocus Lens:

I love this lens. It is fast, sharp and accurate. It definately adds weight to the bag, but that's a small price to pay. Its untrasonic focusing is very fast, and quiet. I have only had it about a month, but it seems durable, built like a tank. I highly recommend this lens.

Comments about Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM Autofocus Lens:

It's a great lens. I got 24-105mm F4L, 70-200 F2.8L II and prime 50mm, but wanted to buy a little bit wider lens. I used this ultra wide angle lens for President campaign rally in N.H. last week and worked great! Although it's a F2.8 lens, I usually use F4 because of sharpness of the image. Definitely my favorite!
