Canon 17-40mm f/4.0 L USM review

Covering both full-frame and APS-C sensors, the EF 17-40mm has proved popular with photographers since its launch – and for good reason

Build quality; promises only what it can deliver in style

Limited focal range; no IS

Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L USM lens, (tested with cropped-frame APS-C body)

The Canon EF 17-40mm may deliver spectacular ultra-wide angle coverage when fitted to a full-frame body like the EOS 5D, but offers a more normal, general-purpose range when mounted on cropped bodies like the EOS 30D or 400D / XTi.

Canon 'L' build and optical quality; Fast and quiet USM focusing motor; Constant f4 aperture throughout range; Will also work on full-frame body

Shorter zoom range than kit lens; No IS (although not particularly necessary; Overkill if not considering full-frame in future; Canon EF-S 17-85mm more flexible for most

Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L USM Lens Review

Because it is a very high quality but moderately-priced ultra wide angle zoom lens, the Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L USM Lens is one of Canon's best selling lenses. The 17-40 f/4L fills out the bottom focal length range of Canon's f/4L zoom lens series .

Are these two lens samples representative? I can't say for sure. I've been using my 16-35mm f/2.8L for many months and have been happy with the images it produces. Is it as sharp as primes in this focal length range? No, of course not.

Canon EF 17-40mm f/4 USM L (full format) - Review / Test Report

It's not exactly easy to design a flawless full format lens and the Canon EF 17-40mm f/4 USM L shows its part of the struggles here. The lens is not overly fast but it has a comparatively broad range for a lens in this class and it seems as if Canon has overstretched things a little with respect to...

Superb performance in the centre throughout the range; Well built; Lightweight

Sudden softness in the corners may disturb full-frame SLR users; Distortion difficult to correct entirely at 17mm; Falloff at 17mm
