One of Canon’s best wide angle lenses. Ever.
A very solid, dependable lens. The 17-40 gets mixed reviews for the most part mainly due to poor corner and edge resolution wide open. I use this on the 5D Mark III, a full frame sensor that will show these soft edges much more than a crop sensor such as any rebel, 7D, 60D, etc… Even then, I find the edge performance really quite good once you stop the lens down. Central sharpness is very, very good at 17mm and 40mm wide open. Stopped down to f/8 or f/11 will greatly increase sharpness in the edges and corners of the frame.

I think there are better options for those shooting with the 1.6x APS-C sensors. But that really is really up to the users and the…
A perfectly satisfactory ultrawide zoom lens, but not the top such lens Canon makes Most photographers who consider themselves serious amateurs and probably almost all professionals will have at least occasional need for an ultrawide lens.

If you like and want to produce images in which large foreground objects play against smaller objects in the background while all remain in sharp focus, an ultrawide lens is a necessity. Some may also be surprised to hear that the ultrawide lens can produce interesting portraits when the goal is not just to show the individual, but rather to set a person in a context and let the environment become part of the portrait. For decades the usual focal length for such a lens has been 17mm, though of course even wider lenses, including those which do not attempt rectilinear correction, are available for special purpose image capture. This lens is an ultrawide zoom that pretty much covers the…
