Gary, that is one SWEET shot!

I first thought, yeah, its probably FF camera, then checked your gear list and WOW, XTi and 17-40.

Good work!

For an F/4 lens I have found the AF to be swift and accurate even in darker situations. If you hit up my blog there is a shoot two posts back from a church where I used the 17-40 for most of it.

I bought my copy in early 2003, after I got my first DSLR, a used D30. Have been using it since. Although I use a kit lens ( non-IS ), plus a Sigma 17-70, followed by a Tamron 17-50, in the end, I still use it for a walkaround.

The picture here is a beach at Pantai Kerachut in Penang, after hiking one and a half hour through the jungle....

Couple of new ones from tonight, pretty cold out so I thought I'd update my sig from my XTi and nifty to my 1D and 17-40. I was messing with flash hence the bluish tint, but I kinda liked it so I didn't try to correct it. These are exported from Lightroom without sharpening or any adjustments, the second could use some brightening as I was bouncing behind me, but I'm impressed with these shots! I don't know, what do you all think?

wireless triggers are very handy

[SwiftFootTim]

Haha, yeah, those would help quite a bit. Out of the whole sequence though I think I spun that 430 the whole way around and then even off of the ceiling! I think I'm gonna get a 580 EX II first and then probably work on the wireless triggers and such. We'll see though as more of my shooting is football and baseball and then snowboarding.

[lostid]

I know there is a thread for 17-40 L sample pictures, but I don't know honestly which pictures were right out of camera without PP. So please post some pictures here using this lens absolutely without PP. I am looking at this lens mainly for landscape.

Thanks in advance.

[lostid]

13 hrs past and not even a single person want to help. It hurts.:cry:

[John_B]

lostid,
I personally would rather use my 10-22 f/3.5-4.5 lens for landscape photos on my 40D then my 17-40L However why do you need to see unprocessed photos? ??? Different lighting, situations, camera settings etc.. etc.... could still affect the photo.

The 17-40L isn't a new lens and has been around for a few years now. No major complaints about it either (from me) and it earns its L title.

[stevo8]

I think most people shooting L glass are gonna be shooting raw and it won't be something you can judge the glass on. Really what should be a factor is the stuff that's going to be dependent on your shooting style. Do you need faster then f/4? Wider then 17mm? Longer then 40mm? I just picked up a 17-40L and love it. I don't think IQ can be questioned on it since it's a proven piece, colors are great and for what you get in a fairly wide zoom, it's well worth the price IMO. Would 7mm wider and half a stop be nice at times? Yeah, of course. But I'll take the price and the extra zoom any day.

[lostid]

Thanks to both of you for the comments. I know the built quality of the L lens is superior to other non L lens. I was hoping to just see some of the out-of-the-box shots to give me a glimpse of the picture quality comparing with the ones produced by my sigma 17-70.

[SwiftFootTim]

check the last few pages of the 17-40 thread, I posted some that weren't post processed although they aren't the most spectacular shots.

[gary88]

You'd get better results bouncing it straight up off the ceiling instead of behind you.

I was intentionally bouncing behind me trying to get a sort of backwards glow without using triggers and hiding the flash. Sort of just testing it out. I was pretty impressed with how sharp it was though for being lowlight and relatively low handheld speeds.

[Markitos]

Do u think the 4.0 is slow enough that this lens really needs IS for hand held shots in dark ares?

yes, but IMO IS is not needed for the focal lengths involved. It would add weight to a wonderfully portable lens. Tripods are still useful, sometimes. ;)

Yep, all L lenses do.

Well an original Canon Hood will cost about $45. You can get a knock off on e-bay for MUCH less and a lot of people swear by them.

Well consider the no hood situation a bit of a blessing. Now that you need to buy a hood and you have a crop body, check out this site: http://www.burren.cx/photo/alternate_hoods.html

Also I shoot a 5D but I bought an alternate hood to work with my 17-40: http://www.pbase.com/dbdors/ew83dii_hood

[e r y k]

thanks guys, you've been helpful :)

the only reason im getting a 17-40 is for FF, otherwise my tokina 12-24 does the job well.

[John_TX]

hey guys, does this lens come with a hood or not?

It does, but it's the same pie plate hood that comes with the EF-S 10-22mm, and thus is useless on a 1.6x crop camera. I picked up the hood for the EF-S 17-55IS and use it on my 17-40L and it works great. It attaches securely and doesn't shake/rattle around. Nice & tight fit.
FYI: It's the EW-83J hood that I'm using on the 17-40L (instead of the EW-83E that comes with the 17-40L)

These tthree links (below) have pictures of both and great comments/details about switching hoods.

[funhouse69]

I bought the my copy used from a fellow POTN Member so I can't say 100% for sure. I asked him when I got it and he said one was for FF and one was for Crop. I never thought to ask if that was the way he got it or not.

So I have the regular EW-83E and the EW-83DII as well, for the Crop I use the 83DII


Was that new in the box? Or pre-owned? If new in the box, what hoods did you actually get?

[jacobsen1]

here's my thread with pictures of the 2 most popular hood options:
http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=558590

the CNs boil down to buy the 25-105 hood. It mounts easier (has the spring bits over just friction) and requires less trimming. The bonus for me is the same hood fits the 24L, 17-40 and 24-105. I've kept my 24-105 hood BNIB and bought one before I had that lens for the project.

[e r y k]

thanks jacobsen,

i think im going to go with an ebay hood. i cant justify paying 40+ for a hood.

[lostid]

Thanks guys for posting the photos.

[SwiftFootTim]

Haha, lostid, I'm not sure if you are thinking about this lens and want to be convinced. But as long as you don't need the speed of f/2.8, this lens is awesome on my 1D MkIIn. It is sharp as a tack and delivers some really unique perspective.

[DEMO]

Some sort of under ground house or what?

Its actually a living roof on top of the new California Academy of Science. The vent/ windows give off natural light to its indoor rain forest..

What a great landscape lens! ;)

Absolutely loving this lens on the 5D. The snow on the road infront of my house. Playing in PP for some oldschool film flavour :)

i wonder if anyone ever gets mixed up and goes into the wrong house :lol:

[Leeuwarden]

No need to wonder: it happens!
And every time it happens it gets in the newspaper. Usually someone who is really drunk :mrgreen:

[DonJuanMair]

i love this lens, i just got it, the results straight out of the camera are really nice, awesome contrast!

[Cl!ckFoto]

just picked up another 17-40!! cant wait to slap it on the 5D i just bought

[jcp2000]

i want to get one but im getting a 70-200 this week so im thinking should i get a used copy? whats the cheapest you seen i think ive seen 450, but im also kinda scared to buy used. i read some threads where people are complaining about it being "soft" but they never post any samples to show what they are talking about

I bought mine used from a fellow POTN Member and it was in pristine condition and sharp as can be. I do understand the hesitation but here you can always ask for pictures taken with it. I can't remember what I paid for mine exactly I believe it was just about $500.

You can always check Craig's List too, I've been seeing a lot more "L" Glass up there over the last few months.

[Cl!ckFoto]

just bought mine on here, UW date code $530 shipped/paypalled. great deal if you ask me.

[jcp2000]

lol wow that was a big correction! lol yea i seen one on craigslist last night for 480 but no hood and box just the caps. but i hope i can find a good used copy i would rather buy from a fellow potn member then some body off craigslist

[funhouse69]

Yeah sorry for the price difference, I bought so many things this year I lost track :-)

Anyway I've bought two lens off of Craig's List and wouldn't rule it out. I got my 70-300 f4-5.6 IS and my 100mm f/2.8 Macro. One was complete with boxes and all the other was just the lens. Thankfully they are both sharp copies...

I'm very happy with both of my purchases.

[jcp2000]

i see well i got some cash to blow today and i have no idea what im coming home with today!

it can be a 70-200 f4, 17-40, 11-16, 580exII and 430ex, 580exII and vivitar 285hv then order come cactus v2s online..... aha so many choice and i can only get 1 thing/set up :cry:

[jcp2000]

[jcp2000]

[joey1234]

I ust rented this lens- under controlled lighting with a non moving subject- AWESOME- I've yet to try it in other situations... I really would lik eto try this in comparison to the 17-55 IS

I posted some more shots of this guitar in the 85mm 1.8 forum as well--

Nice guitar - I have a Larrivee that looks almost identical to your D-16RGB!

Thanks- thE LARRYS ARE REAL NICE- i HAVE A D-03 too.. It has a lot more bells and whistles than the martin, but the martin just has more bass to it...

Indeed - the D-03 is nice, I played almost every guitar in the store before my last purchase and walked away with a Larry D-40, 1/40 made, much bassier than the D-03 and extremely martin like in tone. It was so good I even bought it with a blemish/ding in the top, which I struggled with. Maybe I'll take a few shots with my 17-40 and add 'em here.
