Very nice, but you've got a bit of a halo around the ribs on the first photo, not sure what that's from.

I got a 5Dmk2 but not this lens to put on... :D

Great walk-around lens on fullframe, trustworthy and affordable too.

Yes you're right mate, thanks for pointing that out for me. I had another look at my Scott Kelby book on Photoshop CS3 & I believe the halos were caused because I got too enthusiastic with the clarity slider in the raw editor. I shall have another play with it later to see if I can rectify the problem.
Cheers.....Ed.

Nice colors and good thought put into this one. The photo would have been absolutely perfect if the chandelier was straight.

[Rhilton4u]

Nice colors and good thought put into this one. The photo would have been absolutely perfect if the chandelier was straight.Thanks kolok, the only way to straighten the chandelier would be to use some kind of distortion correction software. I've tried using Photoshop Elements distortion correction tool...but it never comes out right. Anybody know of a good program that works well with the 17-40?

[kolok]

Might need a little crop and to rotate slightly to compensate for the software correction. Really nice colors on the photo though!

[Rhilton4u]

Might need a little crop and to rotate slightly to compensate for the software correction. Really nice colors on the photo though!I've done that before on other shots - with this one as you can see there leaves no room for cropping. Half the stairs would be cropped out if I tried to fix it in that manner.

[John_TX]

I just selected the light and rotated it a little bit (clockwise) and then made it about 5% larger to compensate for where it used to be.

You don't have image editing on, but since you were specifically asking, I'm going to post this anyways (let me know if you want me to take it off).

It's the same image as you posted & shows everything yours does.
I did downsize the entire image a little bit and saved it as a JPEG 6 or 7 to get it under the 150kb file size (I think the one you posted was about 750k).

I can see the eagle now. But yeah, if you can get the clarity back so that everything is sharp again - you got a winner! You used Photoshop? Elements or CS3/4?

At 17mm on my xsi its just the perfect look for car shots, any wider will look funny

[jeasy]

i should use this lens more often

[KjellG]

Nice pics everyone :)

I'm sooooo glad this lense is weathersealed. I was out in a snowstorm yesterday and while my camera was in a plastic-cover of sorts, the lense was exposed to alot of snow.

[WhyFi]

I'm sooooo glad this lense is weathersealed. I was out in a snowstorm yesterday and while my camera was in a plastic-cover of sorts, the lense was exposed to alot of snow.

Just remember that the front element moves and you need a filter on it for complete weather sealing.

[grizzy]

The big brown truck just knocked on my door and handed me a box...inside is a red, black and white box and inside that is a 17-40 f/4L!

We're about to take a swim so I'm going to take some shots of our little dude...see how this baby performs.

I had a 17-55 2.8 that was such a cracker on my old 30d so I'm hoping to be just as pleased as with my 5d and this one. Judging by the shots in here I think I will be!

[scraggles]

you know shots of a brand new 17-40 are equally sexy as shots from a 17-40. As least I think so.

[KjellG]

Just remember that the front element moves and you need a filter on it for complete weather sealing.

Thanks, yeah I remembered it. Luckily I had a UV filter to put on! :)




Man this lens is sharp and focuses well. Depsite the distance to the subjects, the very snowy weather and snowflakes forming on the filter everything still turned out really sharp. Here's 2 pics I think turned out well:

[grizzy]

Man...only had it a couple hours and I already love it! I'm surprised how accurate it is...definitely more keepers than my 50 1.4 & 85 1.8 but that's probably due to shooting those around f2 and trying to capture shots of a lightning quick toddler. Sometimes you got to stop a lens down but those razor thin fstops are so sexy!

Anyway. Here's one of our BRAVE two year old jumping off the jacuzzi ledge and into our pool (sorry to all of you up there still dealing with snow :cool: ).

[Helena]

The 17-40L impresses me more the more I used it. You can't really tell from a photo this size, but at f/8 it's quite sharp in the corners even on 5D. I should have bought this lens much sooner.

I have been trying to decide on a good walkabout lens, that will cross over for portrait work, I decided I dont need anything with a long zoom, does anyone use this for portraits?It can be used for portraits on a crop body at 40mm...but the IQ is really not going to be as good as a prime lens.

[Markitos]

You can certainly use it for portraits, just watch out for perspective distortion if that's not what you want (even at 35-40mm, if you're close enough, noses will be exaggerated).

[i_am_hydrogen]

[palaima]

hello, well i have a question: does anyone find this lens a little dark? I am thinking of purchasing it later (well have to save up some money) but i am woried that it will be too dark for me? Maybe this problem could be solved with nifty-fifty?

[WhyFi]

A little dark? If you're talking about through the viewfinder, no, I haven't.

Or are you talking about low-light shooting ability? If that's what you're talking about, yeah, it was a bit frustrating with the 30D as I didn't like to use anything higher than ISO 800. Indoors, I usually used a flash with it or used the nifty.

[Scooby Ju]

i used mine today when it was very nearly dark and the lens performed very well indeed. It may be down to the ff sensor but i was well impressed.

[scraggles]

Mine is useless in the dark without a flash. Not to mention the garbage camera I have makes it impossible to turn up the ISO and still produce a quality picture.

And an illustration of how WIDE this thing gets on FF - well, it's wide enough to fit in the entire height of the Empire State Building when standing across the street, 'bout 100 feet away -

I don't know what it is about this lens but I almost never seem to use it and when I do I absolutely love it. I took this a few hours ago.

how's this lens in low light?

[scraggles]

On a 350D, it's horrible. WIth my 580ex it's great.

[palaima]

^ guess it should be :) F4 is quite dark! But still i think the quality that you get is worth a little bit of struggle :D

[scraggles]

Well if you're shooting with something better than the 350D then you probably won't mind turning the ISO up. My camera is a complete piece of trash at anything higher than 100iso. I still think the lens is amazing. I would highly advise getting it. I think it's a lens any canon consumer should buy.

Should i?

[lostid]

well i never used any body other than 40D, but on my 40d with 1740 I hardly notice any noise with iso up to 800.

What a great shot. This is a real showcase photo. The gentle colours, the detail and the tones are outstanding. This really is a great lens, and shots like this prove it (ok, the photog might have a little to do with the shot too lol).
