    • Product Rating: 4 star(s) Field review of Canon 8806A002
      by Les, Feb. 1, 2005
    • Pros: Very fast focus and sharp image. Comes with a hood and bag.
    • Cons: See review
    • Has Owned Product: 1 year
    • Comments:
      The lense is very fast focusing and quick recovery from changes. However, under low light conditions with or without the supplied hood there is a definate shadow present at the bottom of the image. I use this lens for landscape and some portrait work wit...

    • Pros: None.
    • Cons: Shorter zoom range than kit lens, No IS (although not particularly necessary), Overkill if not considering full-frame in future
    • Comments:
      The Canon EF 17-40mm may deliver spectacular ultra-wide angle coverage when fitted to a full-frame body like the EOS 5D, but offers a more normal, general-purpose range when mounted on cropped bodies like the EOS 30D or 400D / XTi. As such when evaluating...

      In this review we've concentrated on using the EF 17-40mm with the full-frame Canon EOS 5D, where its enormous wide angle coverage can be truly unleashed. We've compared it against the EF 24-105mm f/4.0L and the older EF 24-70mm f/2.8L, as many photograph...

    • Canon EF 17-40/4L USM Lens Review
      by Philip Greenspun
    • Comments:
      Canon makes two high-quality wide-angle zoom lenses for full-frame cameras, the 17-40/4L reviewed here and the Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L USM, $1450 (review). In the digital era, the 17-40 has been overlooked to some extent. It isn't wide enough to be dramat...

      In this review we've tested the EF 17-40mm with the Canon EOS 400D / XTi where it offers a general-purpose range; this may be a little shorter than the standard EF-S 18-55mm kit lens, but the EF 17-40mm offers a number of benefits including far superior b...
