Canon has established certain expectations for their L-glass and there are certain features the buyer expects. It is always their best build quality and it is designed for full frame cameras. There should be one additional feature of L lenses. They should be designed well enough that in-camera and post processing distortion correction should be mostly unnecessary and CERTAINLY not mandatory in-camera.
EF 17-40mm ... Picked up new for $500. Like the reach. 17mm is wide enough 99% of the time for me. In video, I can crop (4k) and get reach around 65mm. 17mm to 65mm is hard to beat. 🙂
I was under the impression that the vignetting only occurred at 14mm, f4.0 on the raw files when there is no correction. I had heard the jpg files had little to no vignetting. Is this true?
Serdecznie pozdrawiam z Polski! Właśnie dzisiaj zakupiłam 14- 35mm F4 , jeszcze go fizycznie nie posiadam ale chyba w tym tygodniu do mnie dotrze. W polsce obecnie kosztuje 5399 zł czyli ok 1370 dol.
The lens was designed to have distortion and vignetting which must be corrected in-camera or in post. This makes it a simpler and less expensive lens with minimal performance compromises.
they somehow managed to release a lens which loses to Tamron 15-30 f2.8 VC which is almost 10 years old, and it still makes more economical and technical sense to adapt it than to get this one for the price they charge.
@@ChargedPulsar I am not ignoring it, if weight is a problem for you, go MFT. f2.8 zooms have never been feathers also, the people viewing your pictures don't care
What an amazing thorough review! Loved it!!
I own this lens, you nailed it 😊 🍻

Agree. For such a small zoom extension, they could have easily made it internal zooming by being just a tad longer. But great lens anyway…
This lens is good for making film?

Great for landscape photographers...unless they want to do HDR or any other multiple exposure shooting.

I swap my RF 24-105mm F4 + RF 35mm 1.8mm + $200 dollars is it not over price? But I'm happy with the image I capture using it 😀
If they were internal zooms theb you’d have no reason to drop another grand on the mkii version in a few years
Great lens. The lens hood protects the front, should you drop it
Don't drop any lens.
Just got mys from fb marketplace for 850😊

Tamron is 1100g
Canon is 540g
When comparing why are you ignoring the fact that Canon is half the weight?
