    Excellent lens5.0/5

    Excellent lens I use this lens mostly between 16-24 mm and it gives great sharp pictures anywhere in between. It is great for landscape photography. I couldn't justify buying the 2.8 16-35mm because of the price difference. Beside, I will never use an aperture less than 4.0 outdoor during daylight. Whatever the circumstances, I can compensate with the shutter speed and/or the ISO using a tripod. Overall, it is a great lens and I think I made the right decision.

    Wonderful lens5.0/5

    Wonderful lens Item received in perfect condition as described. I’ve shot video and stills on a couple of different camera bodies and the lens has performed perfectly on all of them. Nails focus on moving targets even on a 5D classic. Image quality is top notch. Image stability for video works really well on a hand held Canon c300 mkii. Looking forward to using this on many shoots to come.

    Great Wide-Angle Lens5.0/5

    Great Wide-Angle Lens The 16mm is the big draw here, of course, but the Canon "L" quality and dependability and niceties are also as expected: hood is included and the lens has a gasket by the mount. Canon original means that the free Canon DPP RAW-processing software automatically corrects aberrations. IS is nice to have, too, and the telephoto end of 35 mm is also good to have. It also accepts standard (for pros, anyways) 77mm filters, which means you can use a UV filter for protection, ND for waterfalls, etc.
