Canon EF 16-35mm F2.8 L USM II

The Canon EF 16-35mm F2.8 L II USM has a lot to offer. It is water resistant and has a wide angle. With improved image quality, you can use to shoot professional grade photos. It comes with three high-precision aspherical lens elements. The circular aperture delivers a natural background blur when shooting at wider apertures. With this lens, you also get a ring type USM, internal focusing, and new AF algorithms for better autofocusing.


With the Canon EF 16-35mm F2.8 L II USM, you get high quality images with excellent color. This lens does an excellent job of capturing natural colors and reproducing them.


This lens is well constructed and worthy of its L Series designation. The best part is that the lens is lightweight.


The large 82mm filter size is a new feature. High quality filters offer many advantages. The larger end helps to reduce the comfort of holding the lens a little. However, it delivers better image quality and is worth it. The focus and zoom rings are easy to use and the perfect size.


This lens is weather sealed to protect against moisture. The inside of the lens is gasketed, but the filter is needed to completely seal the lens. The lens remains the same size, but the inner barrel expands from 28mm from just 16mm.


Typically Canon L lenses have an 8-blade diaphragm. The Canon EF 16-35mm F2.8 L II USM only has seven blades. The circular shape of the 16-35 L II's blades help create desirable round-shaped OOF highlights.


The f/2.8 maximum aperture is perfect. It is fast and delivers the desirable results. A variety of lenses add different parameters for shooting wide open. This lens provides exposures that are wide open and can remain the same over the full focal length range.


Anyone looking for a high quality lens will love the Canon EF 16-35mm F2.8 L II USM. It is fast and accurate. The best part is that you can use it to take photos in the rain or underwater. There is a lot to love about the Canon EF 16-35mm F2.8 L II USM.

Great Lens. Very poor build quality.

Had this on my 1DX mark II on assignment in Hong Kong. Brand New Lens. Placed the camera on a table and noticed the lens coming loose off the base. It had broken off exposing the inside electronics. Very very very poor build quality.

EXCELLENT LENS

I got mine before the Mk III came out, but wonder where Canon found room to improve on this one - and for the big price difference. This lens is superb & produces consistently sharp images. A solid build. Im very happy with it, no regrets. And, as usual, perfect service from B&H.

Professional Lens

This a great professional lens. It's sharp and has great contrast. It's the perfect compliment to the Canon 24-70mm and 70-200 f2.8 lenses.

Sharp (even wide open at f2.8) Fast Great contrast

"OK for weeding"

in my point of view wide angle lenses tend to be an essential, if not fairly niche, part of a photographer's kit. The distortion caused at the extreme edges of the frame can have both a positive and negative effect on the results of an image, and thus should be used sparingly and selectively I'm not...

Canon EF 16-35 f2.8 L II

As primarily a landscape photographer this is my all time favourite lens. IT is relatively small (compared to some of my other lenses) it is beautifully sharp and just about the perfect size for me EOS 5D III. I also own the 11-24mm beast but 16-35mm is still my most used lens.

Easy to use; Compact; Build quality
