    I usually don't review lenses as there are tons of expert reviewers on YT and other channels. The price that BB was selling the lens for was a bargin. They go from 850 to 1000. Other retail outlets are selling this same lens for about 1300 to 1400. The lens is compact and light for an ultrawide angle lens however, there are compromises. The lens has severe vignetting probably around 3-4 stops at the 14mm setting. There is very obvious barrel distortion also at 14mm. When there is distortion correction is applied in camera there is a significant change in the field on view. It almost looses 2mm focal length. I ended up selling the lens and kept my EF 16-35 IS.

    I got this lens because i wanted the L series quality but didnt want to spend the extra $$ on the 2.8 since im just a hobbyist. Paired with my eos RP i got some nice photos(at least i think so). Great for landscapes too!

    My Go-To Lens

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This is my "go-to" lens for creating YouTube videos for my channel. It's lighter, more compact and less expensive than the 15-35 F2.8. Not that that would be a bad lens but this one serves my needs just fine. Used in combination with an EOS R. My first full frame setup. Huge improvement in quality over an M50. Although, a substantial investment.

    I got this on sale for a good price. I am happy. This lens is great for landscapes and artsy shots. I wish it was F2.8 but that was too expensive for me.

    Lens is absolutely great, don’t think twice particularly with c canon full frame body. I have shot at iso 8000, no issues. The lighter version of the 15-35 makes this a great option

    Love this lens. It's compact and just an absolute improvement upon the 15-35mm, not that there was anything wrong with that. Definitely recommend buying camera gear from Best Buy.

    Great lens. Works wonderfully. Excellent rendering and sharpness. Very fast autofocus. The IS allows incredibly low shutter speeds, especially wide. The shipping from Best Buy was hugely disappointing. They just stuck a thousand dollar lens in a big box, with zero padding or protection, letting it bounce around in shipping. It was incredibly careless. I would hesitate to ever buy another L lens from Best Buy again.

    Used this and compared it to my older EF1 7-40F4L. I could not see enough difference to justify the price. Sure it was on sale with $400.00 discount, "not really since Canon jacked the price up by $200.00 a few months ago". Okay it has a wider angle, a whole 3 degrees, again the price point. Returned even though everything worked fine. The lens just simply did not put the 17-40 to shame. The only way I would recommend this to anyone is if they did not have a wide angle lens in the bag.
