16-35 f4 is canon review năm 2024

The Canon company haven’t had much luck with ultra-wide angle lenses. The EF�17–40 f/4.0L�USM, an already elderly model, has one saving grace – a good price for an L-series instrument- but its optical properties could be hardly called outstanding.

A lot was expected after the launch of the EF�16–35�mm f/2.8L�II�USM in 2007 but, in my humble opinion, it was a flop, one of the most overestimated lenses in the whole Canon line-up. I’ve had an opportunity to use as many as four different 16-35 lenses and every single time their image quality on the edge of the frame, even after a significant stopping down, was simply ludicrously bad, especially if you reminded yourself of the amount of money you had to pay for that device. The lens was lucky in a sense – when we tested it we didn’t have a full frame camera in our editorial office and the APS-C sensor didn’t show all its weaknesses in full.

The optical weakness of the 16–35�mm f/2.8L model and the advanced age of the 17-40 f/4.0L suggested that Canon might make a move in that segment pretty soon. Indeed in May 2014 the next lens, the EF 16-35 mm f/4.0L IS USM was launched on the market. Courtesy of the Canon Poland we managed to obtain one specimen very quickly and now we are able to present the results of its optical and mechanical performance test – enjoy!

What is a 16

Ultra-Wide Angle Coverage Also, the 2x zoom to 35mm adds some nice versatility on the wide angle end of things. I can go from ultra-wide at 16mm to moderately wide at 35mm, without needing to change lenses to my mid-range zoom. This provides me with a little more flexibility than the 14-24mm.

Is the Canon 16 35 f4 weather sealed?

Built to function even in unfavorable weather conditions, the EF 16-35mm f/4L IS USM is dust-resistant and water-resistant (when used with an optional Canon PROTECT filter) for professional caliber ultra-wide performance, everywhere.

What is the sharpest aperture for Canon 16 35?

As far as sharpness goes, the Canon 16-35mm f/2.8 III starts pretty sharp wide-open at f/2.8, if you manage to see into the deep vignette. It then becomes very sharp at f/5.6 and razor-sharp between f/8 and f/11, where I can definitely recommend it for critical work both in terms of sharpness and vignette.

What is the best use for a 16

The 16-35mm 2.8L II is an ultra wide-angle lens that is often a favorite for a documentary style of photography. It is great for when you need to fit a lot into the frame so it generally comes out in tight spaces, for wide ceremony shots, and when the dance floor is lively.
