Wide angle lenses; EF 14mm f/2.8L USM: EF 14mm f/2.8L II USM: EF 20mm f/2.8 USM: EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM: EF 16-35mm f/4L IS USM: EF 17-35mm f/2.8L USM:
EF 14mm f/2.8 L II USM ; EF 24mm f/2.8 IS USM 1.4L II USM ; EF 35mm f/1.4L II USM tracking the company’s rapid sunsetting of its EF lens lineup. Canon has gone on the record in the past
Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM: Canon: 5.2/8.3: Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM: Canon EF: 12.1/15.1: SIGMA CINE LENS FF High Speed Prime Line 65mm T1.5 FF
The Canon EF 135 f/2L USM’s f/2 aperture allows a full stop more light being let into the camera than an f/2.8 aperture allows. This would translate to me either using an ISO of 6400 with a f/2.8 lens or using an ISO of only 3200 with an f/2.0 lens! The Canon EF 135mm f/2L USM ’s f/2 aperture also means the background is more blurred out
Summary: This Canon L 17-35mm f2.8 lens has been highly reliable and takes pictures with an excellent look. Though the newer versions apparently test sharper, this lens produces excellent wide angle photos on my Canon R and focuses very accurately. Used they are an excellent value.
Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L II IS USM (B & H $1,999.00) Canon EF 180mm f/3.5L Macro USM Lens. Canon EF 50mm f/1.2L USM (B & H $1,349.00) That is a combo most people just dream about. It don't get any better than that. The lack of IS on the Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM (B & H $1,799.00) should not be a concern.
Canon EF 24mm Æ’/2.8 ~$300 If you didn't need the wide aperture (or didn't want the weight or expense of the Æ’/1.4 version), the Æ’/2.8 version of the 24mm prime is an option.
However, within a couple of days of using the 14mm L II, my mind was changed. Like all Canon L Series Lenses, the Canon EF 14mm f/2.8L II USM Lens has a high build quality that feels great in use. The non-extending 3.1" x 3.7" (80mm x 90mm) (dxl) size and 22.7 oz (645g) weight combine to make this a very a nice handling lens.
eecE.
