Decent review. Not sure why you blamed the lens for focus hunting in low light. That is literally 100% the camera
I do landscapes, which means a lot of hiking. I shoot mostly f/8 - f/16 with a tripod. I love the light weight, 22-35mm ( I don't use the 17, it's too wide ). I love this lens. It hasn't let me down yet. I'd buy it again, even if it was the same price as the 16-35.
have been contemplating 17-40, and that's the conclusion i've come to, as well.
coming from a crop, I wasn't sure how wide I want.
chose tamron 24-70, wide enough, and it destroys 17-40 when both are set to F4 at the same mm
I just got this lens for £258.00 in 'excellent' condition. With hood, front and rear caps and 6-month warranty. Not bad
Just purchased one for 220$ at that price, I can deal with some soft edges 😂
Good review, thanks. Just to confirm, the image samples were from your cropped 7D as opposed to a full sized sensor?
Good points raised. 👍
Like all gear, it depends what you're looking to use it for.
I'm moving completely to mirrorless later this year, but want something inexpensive for wide angle until then with my 6D
I'll be looking to use it in old caves and an old building or two. ( All night time & light painted.)
Chromatic aberration shouldn't be an issue, and if I stop down to F8 to keep it sharp, that should be fine.
All photos will be done on tripod so no stabilization needed.
I always keep stabilization off on my EF24-70f4 for such shots..
I'm just after the wider angle.
If I was shooting in bright daylight, or handheld, then no. I wouldn't choose the 17-40f4
Great video! After watching it, I traded in my 17-40mm f/4L for a 16-35mm f/4 IS -- thanks for the nudge!
You've mentioned like 20 times that it's too expensive brand new. And around 20 times that it's cheaper second hand. We get it.
These lenses are sold for 200-300€ today. That's a great bargain for a ultra wide angle lens like that. Especially for L glass. Westhersealed. And 2.8 vs F4 is definitely not a huge difference in a wide angle lens.
Compared to other ultra wide angle lenses in that price range it's definitely a easy go to lens.
Nice video your images look smashing baby!
Good for a cheap Vlog lens? (Using the R5, trying to have fun on a budget)
fun on the budget huh?
on a full frame DSLR a cropped 10-18mm IS STM works well after you change the mount to the EF one bought online.
it covers the frame starting at 14mm, and full-in at 18mm it's kinda decent.
i taped it at 16mm and use it like a stabilized prime.
how to make your R5 think it should not go into crop mode is something i dunno
Great idea! compare a lens from 2003 to one from 2008! News flash! they are going to different in quality terms, things move on.
I do weddings So I have to take a lot of group pictures. What would you suggest for me 17-40 f4 Or 16-35 f2.8 ?
For large groups, deeper depth of field is better
well, bokeh isn't cheap...
F4 is better for group picture, especially if you are using full frame
@@pauloliveira1989 over reliance to bokeh shows lack of skill.
@@mirasga That's not the point I'm talking about.
You can find this lens for as low as 250€ these days, total bargain in my opinion, with fullframe cameras being so cheap as well, you can get like 6D and this lens plus some stuff for
what are the Sigma and Tamron options?
@peregrinestudio is that the marco lens?
I have Sigma 17-50 f2.8 and would like to know if Canon 17-40 f4 is better overall or not?
Why does it shows as 1.4 instead for f4 ??
That’s what I was wondering too
It is written 1:4 (one colon four). It is the ratio between diameter of the lens widest opening vs lens focal length or another way around if we use f/x of fx convention.
