Canon EF 20-35mm f/3.5-4.5 USM - Review / Test Report

The optical construction is made of 12 elements in 11 groups without any special elements. Its aperture mechanism features just 5 aperture blades so a pleasing bokeh was probably not on the design priority list nor is it really needed for the majority of applications of such a lens.

Great lens for the price. Gives a very sharp image.

Overall, this is a very good lens that every filmmaker should have in his bag. Yes, I use my DSLR primarily for filmmaking and have found the 20mm focal length to come in handy a lot of times. Very sharp image given its price point. Definitely a good lens to have in the bag!

Canon EF 20-35mm f/3.5-4.5 USM review by sjp010

This is a very useful lens wide angle lens for a full frame camera if you're on a budget or need to pack light. If you're looking for ultimate image quality, click elsewhere. If you want a cheap 20mm lens that is reasonably well built and gives good image quality at f/5.6 or f/8, this may be what...
Pros:
  • Small
  • light
  • inexpensive
  • fast silent ring USM
  • good build quality
Cons:
  • contrast a little weak wide open
  • hood is huge and probably useless

I just bought this little lens off ebay for a great price. I have noticed so poor reviews here but at the price I thought I would give it a try. Some of the observations made by others are quite correct and I found from my initial test that the images tend to lack a little contrast straight from the...
Pros:
  • Lightweight
  • quick and accurate USM focusing
  • price
Cons:
  • Images a little flat and lacking in contrast but easily trewwkable in PS

Very Nice Wide Angle Zoom and Very Affordable

A great zoom lens for those with a small bank account. It is small, compact, light weight and a pleasure to use. Takes great sharp photos with excellent contrast and color. You can't do better for the price, especially if you are using a full frame digital camera like the Canon 5D.
