Product ReviewsCanon L 1910B002 16-35mm F/2.8 USM Lens

Very good

This lens seems to be really solid. I like the zoom range. The extremely wide angle of 16mm is necessary at times, but like all wide angles you get distortion which is the nature of the beast. So I really like 20mm because it reduces some of that. 35mm is my personal favorite probably because of the shallower depth of field. Love the 2.8! I really don't have any complaints except the price. That's why I bought it used on eBay and I was very pleased with the condition that it came in. I saved about $500! I think it's a good lens just not worth $1600. Get it used! I have never used the 17-40 f4 L lens, so I can't compare it to that. I really wanted the option to get as open as f2.8 so I went with this. I have used the Tokina 11-16 which is pretty good for the money, but I did notice more lens flare with that one. It really depends on the camera you are using and what you can get away with. The 5D mark iii has such clean high ISO that you could get away with the f4. If you are using something like the 7D or 60D you'd probably want this lens. Don't get me wrong you won't regret this lens. Just depends on your budget.Read full review...

great relatively low light lens

great lens. i got mine used and my only gripe about it is that it feels like there is a 'grain of sand' in the mechanism. it doesn't affect performance at all. i only notice it if i take the zoom to either extreme and then turn the focus ring further. if i keep the focus ring tuned to where the focus should be, i don't get that grainy sensation. i assume this is because i got the lens used and maybe something happened with the prior owner. but i still love the lens. it works great. the pics are super sharp. the f/2.8 aperture allows me to use it in the evenings or dark settings where i have to put my 24-105 f/4 to bed. its a great lens to use esp at dinner parties where the lighting is often low and everyone is grouped pretty close together. with this lens and my 50mm f/1.4 and ISO set to 6400 or 12800, i never need to deal with wash out and shadows from flashes.Read full review...

This is the best lens for real estate photographers.

The full frame cameras love this lens. With minimal distortion you can’t get a much wider shot on a full frame camera. For real estate photographers this is essential. Natural light photography is king in the industry and this lens performs beautifully.Read full review...

Just what the doctor ordered

This lens is perfect for anyone that has the ability to stand near their subject or just loves to take expansive landscapes. Being able to focus as close as 9 inches is perfect for close quarters and the 16mm focal length gets you as wide as you would need before going to a dedicated super wide angle prime.

Of course the lens has some issues but are expected in super wide angle. Distortions around the edges.

All in all, I've turned to this lens as my walk-around lens. I've been shooting with this focal length range for 3 years and love it. Having upgraded from the 17-35 L, this lens does perform just as well. It's nice to be able to squeeze out that extra MM in focal length.

No regrets getting this lens and I'd recommend it to anyone that likes landscape and scenery photography. If you don't see the big picture, you'd never buy this lens (pun intended).Read full review...

Overrated & Overpriced

Personally, I think these "L" lenses are overrated and overpriced. Sure, they deliver better and sharper images and nice blurry backgrounds than the non "L" lenses shooting in well lighted conditions. But under low light conditions, you still need to make adjustments to get decent exposure with these "L" lenses, no difference from the regular non "L" lenses. Trust me people, you are paying more for the brand name than for the quality cause you can get the "almost" same quality with Sigma and Tamron Lenses as long as you get them with an aperture of f/2.8 or better for half the price.Read full review...

Great lens!

Ive been shooting landscape using 24-105. This lens gives me more of the wide angle I’ve been searching for. Great lens bringing in good light at 2.8. A must have for landscape.

Lightweight, excellent lens

I used this lens a lot this past weekend for a wedding. It's a great low light lens that gets super wide. Perfect for wedding parties and dance floor work.

I've been using a 24-70 mm f2.8L. This lens is lighter and more compact. It's good for indoors in low light
