I spent a long time choosing a lens for a wide angle. What attracted me to this glass was the fairly good photo quality and build quality (reliable). Used in full frame for both wide-angle geometry portraits and regular 35mm portraits. Indispensable for travel, very versatile. Taking into account the fact that the zoom needs to get used to different quality at different focal lengths and with different aperture values. There is very little chromatitis, but Lightroom can help if necessary. Of course, there is distortion at a wide angle, but again, if necessary, you can correct it with Lightroom. It doesn’t bother me, but on the contrary, I really like it. As a result, I can say that I am completely satisfied with the lens; its versatility completely justifies its price. I can’t compare them with primes, since a kit to cover all focal lengths 16-35 costs a completely different amount of money. Versatile. Good color rendition. Doesn't limp. Holds backlight well and produces beautiful rays when you tighten the aperture. Expensive. There is no stable result at all focal lengths. A good filter is not cheap.

Good creative lens. For those who want new, unexpected shots. Fast, convenient zoom, not only for working indoors, with a short focus - amazing photo composition. Very good for filming genre scenes, reports, events, when the fact of photography itself is important, and not compliance with proportions and straight lines. Doesn't attract attention With skill, you can avoid the "bulging" effect of the center of the frame, but for a real portrait, it's a no-go. A decent diameter for the filter - but it's also a drawback - the choice of suppliers and stores is limited.  Diska704: use Canon 16-35mm f/2.8L EF USM II few months i recommend it should buy |
