Brand: Canon

Located in: Photography, Camera Lenses

The CANON 1910B002 EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM is a high performance, water-resistant, and ultra wide-angle Canon L-series lens. It has been specifically designed for improved edge-to-edge image quality that will meet the strict requirements of professional and high-end amateur photographers. It features 3 high-precision aspherical lens elements, each of a different type: ground, replica and GMo for even better image quality than the original EF 16-35mm f/2.8L USM. The circular aperture produces a beautiful and natural background blur when shooting at wider apertures. Other features include internal focusing, a ring type USM (Ultra Sonic Monitor), and new AF algorithms for fast and quiet autofocusing.

Comments about Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM Ultra-Wide Angle Zoom Lens ( 1910B002 ):

This ultra-wide zoom lens takes truly amazing shots on my Canon 5D Mk II. It is very well built and comes in handy when there is confined space and I need to get the whole object into the picture. I think the focusing problems above 24mm that some users mentioned is minor. But it is definitely sharper at focal lengths below 24mm. But this doesn't much matter to me as I use my 24-105mm for shots 24mm & higer. [...]

Comments about Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM Ultra-Wide Angle Zoom Lens ( 1910B002 ):

L series glass is where it's at! The sharpness of this lens is unbelievable. The extra width of the lens is definitely a huge asset especially when photographing buildings, landscape scenery or large groups of people. Although I haven't gotten to use this lens a lot yet, the times I have, it's been incredible. I'd love to replace all my lenses with L lenses. Someday!

Comments about Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM Ultra-Wide Angle Zoom Lens ( 1910B002 ):

I like this wide angle lens. It is as good as everyone has stated. Downsides are non-standard 82mm front end. Requires very expensive filter. Not had enough time to truely test this lens capabilities.
