Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L USM Lens

The Bottom Line: If you love wide angle and high image quality than definitely give this lens a serious consideration.

Review: This is one of Canon's entry-level professional grades L series lens. The word entry level is usually associated with something affordable. Well in the Canon SLR world an affordable "L" means 700 bucks. A lot of cash for an enthusiastic hobbyist and...

The Bottom Line: This is a great lens to add to anyone's basic array of Canon lenses. Smooth operation, great images?

Review: Back in the sixties (well before many of you may have been born), a number of top photographers like Horn and Griner (Steve Horn, Norm Griner), Bert Stern, Francesco Scavullo, Melvin Sokolsky, and Otto Storch were shooting fashion and illustration...

The Bottom Line: I recommend this lens to anyone who is on a budget, but needs the wide angle zoom.

Review: Anyone looking for a wide angle zoom for their Canon body only has a few choices available to them. There is the cheap (EF 20-35mm f/3.5-4.5 for ~$350), the not so cheap (EF 17-40mm f/4L for ~$700) and the uber expensive (EF 16-35mm f/2.8 for...

The Bottom Line: For the landscape photographer on a budget, this is a must have lens to start your quality lens collection. There is plenty of focal range for flexibility.

Review: I ll be honest here this was not a lens that I had intentionally wanted to purchase. When I was selecting my lenses for a new Canon outfit, I had the ranges from 10-22mm and 24-70mm covered. I wasn t all that concerned with the gap between the two...

The Bottom Line: Great lens! Recommend!

Review: I have been a Canon enthusiast for years using most of their powershots S, SD, G series. I finally decided to try myself in dSLR photography. So, I purchased Rebel XSi / 450D body and 17-40 f/4 lens. Those are the very first lens I tried (after the...

The Bottom Line: A great landscape lens, and a great buy for "l" series Glass!

Review: I was in need of a lens to replace the 'Kit' lens that came with my Rebel XT, and found this lens was the one that fit the bill. I used it, and compared it in the field, to other canon lenses, and decided that this particular lens was what I needed...

The Bottom Line: Great lens, but buy the 16-35mm f/2.8 for more flexibility - you'll thank me for it later.

Review: Now hear me out. I know this lens runs around $600 and the 16-35mm f/2.8 is twice that for $1200. First off... if you're shooting with something like a 20D and it's not full frame (1.6x) you're getting a 27-64mm. So going down to 16 for that wide...

The Bottom Line: I love this lens, it is a top quality lens giving top quality results at a price reasonable for what you are buying. What more can I ask for really?

Review: I recently upgraded my digital camera to the Canon 20D and decided I could not insult it by plonking my Sigma 18-50mm DG lens on the front. Very little point in having an 8.2MP sensor and shoving cheap grade glass in front that doesn't have the...

Review: This is the first prime lens I have owned. Although I have taken only one roll of shots with it, I am very happy with it so far. It is lighter than I thought it would be. It balances well on my Canon ELAN 7. The construction appears to be top notch...

Review: This lens has typical L class build quality - weather sealed and a solid feel. This lens is sharp and can produce excellent wide views on a full-frame camera.

The only gripe I have with this lens is it sometimes hunts for focus in...
