  • Great lens for the money.

    Although this is a "L" lens for a full frame camera it works well with both full frame and APS-C DSLR. Focal length does change when attached to crop sensor camera to the approximate equivalent of 35mm when shooting at wide angle so keep that in mind. But the truth is it really doesn't matter too much so just enjoy shooting with this lens. It takes fantastic pictures with crystal clear details and can be used for any occasions. To portrait to landscape and anything in between. This is probably the least expensive Canon "L" lens available on the market. Highly recommended.

  • Super carry-around lens

    Canon L lenses are all superior quality and produce great images. Internal zoom and focus make this one especially nice to handle. Fast, accurate and whisper-quiet focus gives you more usable shots. Using this on my 1.6 crop 60D still provides a good wide-angle for indoor use. My 28 mm Sigma always had me backed into a corner.

  • The most reasonably priced L series lens that you'll find!

    Beautifully crafted lens. I loved looking at this lens. Immaculate construction. Solid like a rock. Better than a kit lens? Well, no, not really. The kit 18-55 mm is not a bad lens and if you look you can find one for $50. It also has a bit more range than the 17-40. Photos were sharp but not as sharp as an 18-135 base model lens let alone a nano. If you want to tell your friends that you have an L series lens here you go. They're not all that pricey and they're always available. Good, solid performer and better in low light than a kit lens. Otherwise, get an 18-135 if you're shooting crop sensor. They're better and cost less...

  • Great lens for walking around and such a different perspective at 17mm

    This is my first L lens to pair with my nifty 50 and I must say I'm so glad I got it. I originally wanted the 24-105 however I am so glad I got the 17-40 for the simple fact that on a Full Frame sensor 17mm is so amazing to capture a different perspective. It doesn't seem that much from 17-24 but the perception and field of view is simply stunning. It's great for those small tight spaces where you want to capture a scene and even at 40mm lifestyle candid portraits are not to bad. Now at F4 you don't get that creamy bokeh that you would from say a 2.8 or 1.4 ect however it's still pleasing if your subject is far away from anything in the background. The lens is very sharp and even at 40mm F4 you can still focus pretty close and is nice and sharp. There is def some dark edges at both 17 and 40mm however it's easily remedied in post processing. The focusing is super fast and locks on nicely as well. I would recommend this lens to anyone looking for a reasonably prices L lens who likes landscapes or just walking around and wants to capture the moment you might be in.

  • Canon EF 17-40 f/4 L USM lens

    For any Canon user especially those into landscape photography, this is an excellent lens, very fast throughout the entire focal length. Because I use this lens for landscape photography, I love the weight of the lens. This lens is primarily mounted to a Canon 5D Mk II as well as a Canon 7D. This lens I find a better suited for the 5D for I what I purchased it for. There are lots of other excellent alternatives, Sigma or Tamaron but ultimately I love the glass in this lens, just my preference. Great buy overall!

  • Great lens but...

    Lens is great colors look really good however the one i got has a shifted lens element so the left side of each picture is a little blurry. Cant really to much at normal size but zoomed in its noticeable. Just always test lenses before you buy them.

  • Your Go-To For Still Photography!

    Although it does not come with image stabilization, this lens is probably one of the best when it comes to taking still images whether it is landscape or products! On top of that, the lens feels smooth when zooming in or focusing. It is also easy to put on & off the lens filter + lens cap.

  • Excellent Walk Around Lens

    Great Lens! Takes very sharp pictures, just a little distortion at the ultra wide end of the lens. Otherwise color is great, it is very sharp and the bokeh is very good. It is fairly light compared to the 24 to 105 L lens and makes an excellent walk around lens. This is a must have unless you are getting the 16 to 35, which is almost double in price. Great Lens! Highly recommend!

  • good, quality canon lens

    it is my first L lense and I'm really happy about it - for quality, price and image. sharpness - depends just from your knowledge and experience; distortion - also, depends from your goal, experience, and composition. Please, don't blame the lense if you doing something wrong! If you have an opportunity - try the lense before, or ask professionals, who has experience with this lense. one cons - would be awsome if it would have diafragm 2...but it would be different price and lense.

  • Awesome Canon L-Series Ultra-Wide Angle 17-40mm F4 Lens

    Met all my expectations; Canon L-Series have a well deserved reputation, and this example delivers stunning images on my Canon 6Dii full frame DSLR; works great as a Blogging lens as well.
