Customers praise the EF 17-40mm f/4L USM Ultra-Wide Zoom Lens for its exceptional lens quality and wide-angle capabilities. Users appreciate its ease of use, lightweight design, and clarity. Some customers also highlight its weather sealing, price, and color performance.
The Canon 17mm-40mm Zoom lens is incredible. For the money, this lens meets all of my needs for covering corporate receptions, dinners, lunches and conferences. What I like about it over the 24mm-70mm and the 24mm-105mm lenses is that is is so much sharper. I try to avoid zooming back to 17mm unless it's a room shot. Staying between 24mm & 40mm and adjusting my distance to the subjects gives me minimum distortion at the edges and clean, crisp & colorful images that meet my client's requirements as well as my own. This was a great purchase.

Excellent and versatile. Great for portraits, shooting indoors or outdoors, beautiful quality.

I have other zoom lenses in this focal length, but Canon's 17-40 F4L is the sharpest and lightest of these lenses hands down. I can even do tack sharp handheld landscape images without a tri pod within reasonable shutter speeds of say 1/80 second and up. I don't really miss the IS for what I'm using this lens for and enjoy the savings accordingly.
