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 was concerned that the quality of the image would not be near as good as my Canon 24mm 1.4 lens. I did a test taking photos with both set at 2.8 and indeed my 24mm lens took much clearer shots. But later I realized that it was a bit unfair since the 16-35 was at its maximum aperture while the 24mm wasn't, so I repeated the test at a lower aperture and this time I was very pleased at how the 16-35 performed. Yes, I would definitely recommend.

I recently bought the EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM Autofocus Lens by Canon, and I am thrilled with the clarity of the photos it takes. I am an amateur photographer who is aspiring to become a professional real soon. I use this lens primarily for shooting landscapes, real estate, or in tight quarters. Previously, I only had a zoom lens that started at 70mm. I needed something at the opposite end of the spectrum. I love how I can get super-wide angles with this lens. It captures what is practically at my sides when I am at 16mm. There is a little distortion vertically when you are zoomed out that far, but that can be corrected easily with the latest version of Photoshop. It also zooms in to a typical 35mm. This is the focal length of a typical point-and-shoot lens, so there is no distortion. You just have to move in on your subject using your feet instead of a zoom. I use this lens with my Canon EOS 5D Mark II, and they work seamlessly together. I would recommend the 82mm (MC) UVa Haze #010 (2C) Filter that I purchased to protect the glass. It is worth spending the extra money on a good, clear filter to protect your investment. I also bought the Duracell High Speed 32 GB 600X USB 2.0 Compact Flash Card. The high speed (600X) ensures that you can take another photo faster, and the camera writes the photo to the card faster. With at 32 GB card, you do not have to change out your card in the middle of an event. If you take a card out while the camera is still on, it increases the likelihood that the photos on your card will be destroyed. If you get more memory, you can upload your photos later when you get home and can actually concentrate on what you are doing. It only takes seconds to upload your photos to a computer using this card. It really takes the frustration and time out of that step in the process.

This lens was easy to install and easy to use. The buttons are in convenient locations, and do not get in the way. I have shot video with this lens, and it looks production-quality.

The only draw-back so far is the distortion, but that is because of the focal length. You will get that with any lens of this focal length, and as mentioned above, it can be fixed easily with software.

I am enjoying using this lens, and it has made me even more enthusiastic about photography! I would recommend it to anyone serious about taking great photos.

This is my third L-Series lens, following a 70-200mm f/2.8L IS and 24-70mm f/2.8L. My three bodies are the 5DMkII, 7D, and T2i.

I was very surprised how little barrel distortion was present at 16mm with a full-frame sensor. When I ordered the lens I had not used one and was a little concerned about this but it proved to be a non-issue.

Optical quality is of course fantastic and I find in-focus points to be very sharp. Having the ability to go to 2.8 is great on this lens, as the extremely wide angle reduces the sense of shallow depth of field.

My primary use is on the 5D2 for video, using a RedRockmicro rig.

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

Amazing lens quality and durable for the outdoors. Perfect focus from edge to edge, really great in low light, quick auto focus. Accurate color capture, especially in the outdoors and landscape photography. Would recommend this to anyone looking for a great fast wide angle zoom, best canon has to offer.

I am an amateur photographer.
I use my 16 - 35mm lens with a Canon 5D Mark II.
Nice sharp lens with no noticeable distortion.

I finally bought this lens after a lot of comparison with the Canon 24-70mm f/2.8L. I've rented the 24-70 and while I found the quality great, the weight and size makes a big negative as a walkabout lens. The Canon 16-35mm f/2.8L is a great format, much lighter and just a few days out of the box, the image quality is amazing. Highly recommended. B&H shipping and customer service was great as per usual.

Still photography and hope to use it soon on my Panasonic AF 100, as soon as the adapter becomes available.
It's 2.8, it's very sharp and for my work, the 16-35 range and a 50mm f 1.4 cover much of what I need to cover.

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

Landscapes and close quarters pushed me to purchase this lens. I was using the 24-105mm but felt like I needed a wider angle. I love the results from this lens, worth the purchase. Sometimes the distortion at 16mm is a little much but overall a great purchase. Really need a gradient filter with this lens.

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

This one lives up to the L lens tradition of quality. The sharpest lens I have.

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

At 16mm, captures the entire scene. Very fast in low light. a little soft wide open, especially during long exposures, but nothing that doesnt go away when stopped down

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

Incredible lens, purchased specifically for use with HD video feature on 5Dmk2 and a Glidecam. With these L lenses, you really get what you pay for. 16mm on a full frame sensor is WIDE, and the 2.8 is really a winner! This has replaced the 24-105 4L as my walk around lens. The 82mm filter size is probably the only downside but I picked up a step-up ring and now I can share filters with my 77mm lenses.

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

What a lens for the price! On the 7D or even the 5D this is a great lens. Wide enough to cover but mid range enough not to look to wide. I love this lens!

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

I use this lens for everything. Great picture quality and handles low lighting very well. Yeah the lens is a little expensive, but it's a lens that you could possibly use for a lifetime!

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

I travel all the time and often needed a wide angle for landscape shooting. Not only is this lens sharp its beautifully made and the pictures taken with this lens are amazing. Im glad I purchased the lens and recommend it highly to any landscape photographers seeking high performance lens with little to no vignetting. A great buy!!!

Great Lens!

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

For a pricey L series and oustandings reviews,I'm disappointed.If you buy a 16-35 is because you really need that "16", and this lens has problems in that area (barrel distortion, chromatic aberration, not superbly sharp -but sharper than TS 17-). I think Tokina 12-24 or Canon 10-22 have better performances, but I'm using a full-frame sensor camera now, so I had to change to this lens.
