Have just gotten my first full frame camera and wanted a wide angle lens to go with my new camera, my crop frame wide angle lens sadly would not fit my new camera. I have always shot with canon cameras and canon L lens, but had now I have moved over to a Sony mirrorless a7ii full frame camera with a...

This is a good quality product that offers good value for money in the very short term. Although as with most products of this type, the value will deteriorate over time and should be able to get a cheaper version next year. It's a great device with plenty of features that I would highly recommend.

I bought this lens for my crop sensor 50D, as i wanted a 'semi-wide' angle lens for landscapes and general photography. The build quality is typical L-series (i.e. fantastic) and the lens balances well on the 50D's body.

Hey thanks guys. We are a private New Zealand newspaper group and have just bought a lens for our photographers from Smifu. Yes we were nervous and did as much checking as we could before paying. Guess what? All went well.

I used this lens on my 7D for about 5 years until my camera and lens were stolen. After a year of waiting and saving up, I finally made up my mind to buy this lens again. I've become very used to how the lens shoot over the years and that was the main reason that led me to purchase it again.

Great for landscapes, sunrises, and sunsets - particularly in combination with graduated neutral density filters to balance exposure of land and sky. Amazing for indoor room photos - a must for any Realtor. Superior for architects' pictures of structures.

Easily Interchangeable; Fast / accurate auto-focus; Lightweight

"I would disagree with Josh. You can't compare 17-40mm lens to 14-24mm lens and rate them. You are comparing apples and oranges. 17-40mm L is a great glass for its value."

This lens is simply great. The only concern I had about it was the sharpness in the corners but being a landscape photographer and shooting mostly at F8 and up, I don't have a single complaint. The zoom range is great, colours are fantastic and build quality is, well it is an L lens!

I'm still learning how to use it, but thus far this lens way out does the lens that comes with the body. High quality pictures with exceptional captures.
