  • Amazing lens at a great price
Style: Lens Only
For me this is the perfect wide angle zoom. While it's still a decent sized lens it's light and small compared to it's 2.8 counterpart. The IS works amazingly well and it's even pretty damn sharp wide open.

  • An ultra-wide zoom lens that is fantastic for landscapes
Style: Lens Only
I have owned and used the 16-35mm f/2.8L II lens for several years now. While it is a fantastic lens, I was never thrilled with its performance in the corners for landscapes, which for me was the primary reason for owning the lens. I switched to using the TS-E 17mm f/4L for landscapes and my 16-35mm f/2.8 usually just stayed in my bag - in fact I didn't even bring it along on my last photo trip. Now with the release of this new 16-35mm f/4L IS, my camera bag will always contain an ultra-wide angle zoom lens. I plan on making it my go-to landscape lens, and probably will only use the TS-E 17mm lens when I actually need the tilt or shift. This lens plus a 70-200mm f/4L IS will likely be the only two zoom lenses I carry for photo trips. The image quality is nearly prime like - I see little to no difference in the corners between this lens and the TS-E 17mm (without tilt or shift), even wide-open at f/4. Image quality in the center is fantastic, but the center was never a problem with any of Canon's ultra-wide zoom lens. Corner quality in their other ultra-wide zoom lenses have always disappointed, but this lens reverses that trend, delivering excellent image quality across the frame. Photos are sharp and contrasty, in the center and in the corners. If you are familiar with Canon's other recently released zoom lenses, such as the 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II or 24-70mm f/2.8L II, you can expect similar results from this lens - fantastic. Like most zoom lenses, there is some distortion at the extreme ends of the range - slight barrel distortion at 16mm and pincushion at 35mm, while there is almost none around 24mm. The amount of distortion appears to be similar to the 16-35mm f/2.8L II. Generally I have not found distortion to be a problem photographing landscapes with the f/2.8 lens, so this lens should perform similarly. Distortion can be fixed in software, but usually comes at the cost of a slight crop along with some loss of image quality. The 16-35mm f/4L IS has a 9-bladed aperture, which will result in 18-point stars from specular highlights (such as the sun) when using narrow apertures. The 16-35mm f/2.8L II has a 7-bladed aperture, which results in 14-point stars. Which is preferred is subjective, but generally I prefer more points on specular highlights. More blades on the aperture also improves bokeh ball look when stopped down, but on such a wide angle lens, only photos at the closest focusing distance have a chance of producing any sort of significant bokeh, and will be even less likely when stopped down. As most of my landscape photos are taken from a tripod, since I often take long exposures or multiple exposures for HDR, the IS will likely not benefit many of my photos. However, I will be glad to have IS when hiking and stopping to take a quick photo. For any single exposures, a tripod will no longer be needed. Build-quality of this lens is typical of most L lenses - excellent. It is very similar in look and feel to the 24-70mm f/2.8L II or 24-70mm f/4L IS. The body is plastic instead of metal, but it has a very solid feel and likely allows the lens to be a little lighter and cheaper vs. using a light metal such as magnesium. Like other recent Canon L lenses, it the hood features a finish that is less likely to show scratches and has a lock to ensure the hood cannot accidentally rotate. The hood on the 16-35mm f/2.8L II was very wide and took up a lot of bag space, so I often found myself leaving it at home. The hood on the 16-35mm f/4L IS is narrower, more like the hood that comes with the 24-70mm f/2.8L II. I predict I will actually be using the hood that comes with this lens. The fluorine coating on the front element will be a welcome addition to those that prefer not to use filters. Water and dirt wipe off much easier compared to lenses without a fluorine coating. I usually carry some Zeiss alcohol wipes to keep my gear clean. Remember that a filter is required to complete the dust and water resistance, so be sure to use a protection filter when using the lens in dusty or moist conditions. Those looking to stop motion, such as event photographers, may still want to buy the 16-35mm f/2.8L II, since IS is not going to replace that f/2.8 aperture. Otherwise the 16-35mm f/4L IS has better image quality, image stabilization, and costs less, so there's little reason to consider the 16-35mm f/2.8L II. The 17-40mm f/4L lens is cheaper than this lens, but lacks IS and also suffers from poor corner performance and vignetting. While the focal lengths are similar, I would also prefer having the extra 1mm at the wide-end (which is significant at wide focal lengths) over the extra 5mm at the tele-end. If you can afford it, buy the 16-35mm f/4L IS. I have long felt that an ultra-wide angle zoom lens that was fantastic for landscapes was missing from Canon's lineup of lenses. I am happy to say with the release of this lens, that is no longer the case. ... show more

  • So many good things to say, but I'll try to summarize
Style: Lens Only
I have used this lens on a bunch of jobs including a small bathroom and I love this lens. My only complaint is that at 16mm the angle is so wide I have a hard time hiding my lights! The chromatic aberration control is fantastic! the best I've seen—not that I've seen every lens for every system—, but this lens is really an interior/landscape photographers dream. The transition between extreme contrast situations like sun beaming through a window is controlled incredibly well. It is a sharp lens and it is sharp all the way to the corners, getting only a little softer in the corners. And the distortion is well controlled as well with some barrel distortion at 16mm and some pin cushion at 35mm, but very reasonable. It has the more standard 77mm diameter which means you can swap filters with your other "L" series lenses. It feels well built, it should be, it is an "L" lens. The hood is awesome too. So much easier and more elegant than other hoods that I have for other "L" lenses, seems like a small thing, but why didn't Canon do this before? I can't explain why I like the button feature on the hood so much, but I do, it just goes on so smoothly and then it locks into place, love it! This lens is a bit expensive compared to some other competitive lenses, but if you care about the things I mention above, paying an extra $400–$500 is well worth it. If you're just getting into wide angle, landscape or interior photography you might want to look at some of the less expensive lenses out there. There are some with a lot of fanfare which I seriously considered, but after using many other wide angle lenses including Canon's 14mm prime I settled on this one. There are some primes out there that are better than this lens, but primes should be better, although I didn't love the 14mm as much as I thought I would. I wanted the zoom for that little bit of flexibility that it offers. In interior photography there are only so many places to set up your tripod and gear and being able to zoom in or out just a little is well worth the trade off. Also the fact that you can use filters on a lens this wide is a huge bonus. I like this lens a lot, but it's not for everybody. I think that Canon priced this lens fairly, although I would like it better if it was around $900. I'm very happy with this lens and would highly recommend it! ... show more
