Very nice pics this might be a lense i'm going to look into

I bought 24-70 and took pictures of my son's birthday, but then I saw the results and they don't look any better than with my 35-350mm f/3.5-5.8 lens. So I took it back. I don't see any gain from f/3.5 to f/2.8 and for $1100 or more, I can wait. Maybe later I will get the walk-around lens like the 24-105mm f/4. Cheaper and lighter.

[stckciv]

Mine arent the best, but I had fun with it today! Great lens!!

Fantastic shots in here. 17-40 is an awesome lense :) (I'm sure it'll be even better on FF body... one day! )
Here's one of my shot done with this lense. Shot was taken at La Perouse in Sydney on early morning.

Would love to see some night shots taken on a 5D with this lens. If anyone has any I'd appriciate it. Looking to rent an "ultra wide" for my trip to Italy.

You've already got 17-40 covered with your beloved Sigma, I mean Tamron, so you don't need it anyway ;-)

It's a good walkaround length on 1.6x crop cameras.

It's a good ultrawide on full-frame cameras.

You can use it however you like ...

It's a pretty versatile lens (although I'd prefer the 16-35mm for the extra stop).

He's three totally different applications of the 17-40mm:

I love the way you dramatise the bridge from this angle. That is what a wide angle lens can do right?
Great shots!

[argyle]

The 17's hood is wide, but not really deep. However the width does cause some issues - even the issued lens case that came with the 17 won't accomodate it with the hood on, or maybe I'm just not trying hard enough ;)

And the hood's hard to fit into my bag.. maybe I have to carry it hood-up and let it stick out over the top of the dividers. On the flipside, that'll mean the hood is already in the right position and ready to use immediately.

Crop camera users might be able to replace the standard 17-40 hood with something else that provides better shading..

The hood for the 24-105L works well with the 17-40L (at least on a crop body). Don't know about full frame though. If you happen to have both lenses, its one less hood to carry along.

I'm using the EFS 17-55 hood on the 17-40L on my crop camera. Putting the hood on reveresed for transportation, it works like a charm in the Lowepro Top Loader 70 :)

[Jia Wang]

Here's my contribution... the 17-40 is a lens that is usually mounted on my 20D for landscape shoots... Occasionally I use it as a portrait lens too... Versatile enough, I must say, as long as you know how to squeeze out the best out of it...

[michael_]

Mike
I love the way you dramatise the bridge from this angle. That is what a wide angle lens can do right?
Great shots!
to some extent but not always and with the bridge not so much its just the nature of the bridge and the angle with which the shot was taken, you wld get the same effect with a not so wide lens ie 24-70 and standing back a little.

[tomhide]

Cheers guys. :) Its an awesome lense.
Snajczuk, I used I think 2 stop ND Grad filter to bring the sky in check. I Didn't use the ND filter as I didn't really want to do expsoure time of more than 1 minute. I need a light meter to get those loong exposure shots right. hehe

It's been a weird last few days. I've been on the fence between a 17-40L and a 24-70L. I flip-flopped so many times it was rediculous. Anyhow, I finally pulled the trigger on a 17-40 and I'm glad I did.

It just arrived and I ran outside my office and pulled off a few shots while dodging the rain. These are 100% crops and have no PP whatsoever. Shot in JPEG with AWB, and they were quick shots. It's a little soft wide open at full zoom, but that's pretty typical, and I think these results are pretty darn good for a few quick snapshots. The full size images look awesome.

I want to be able to take shots like that!

For that you need either 5D as camera or UWA lens for your current lens colleciton :(

This thread was really helpful in my decision to purchase this lens. It arrives tomorrow... I can't wait! Thanks for the amazing pictures and advice.

Wow! There are some amazing shots in this archive. I hesitate to post mine, but I was fooling with my new (to me) 17-40 today and was surprised at how shallow I was able to get the DOF. Granted, I was about as close as you can get to the subject, but for an f/4 it's pretty nice.

The shots are nothing special, but the thin DOF, and fairly smooth bokeh were surprising to me. These two are hand-held at f/4 and ISO 400.

Anyone ever use this lens in a club atmosphere? I'd really like to know how it performs in that type of situation.

[Mike55]

This lens is amazing. The pics here really tell the story.


As for a club lens, wouldn't you be better off with a fast prime?

[ghibli99]

First time out w/ this lens last weekend. I'm definitely in love with it!

Thanks too Miker. We loved it, a hikers paradise and very well will visit next year too. More trails to explore and a lot less crowded than Yosemite.

Gisli! GREAT shots! What is the location?

Here are a few from me. It was my turn to dogsit for my brother. I am blown away by the sharpness and colors from this lens! I'm so happy I 'upgraded' from the Sigma 17-70:

Here's a couple from my garden.

^"thrown" together using PS:CS3's photomerge, yes there is an obvious transition in it...^

So far it seems pretty sharp looking at the images at 100%. The one thing I have noticed, more so than with my sigma, is CA. I'm going to be doing a thorough test against the 12~24mm this weekend.

[Tsmith]

Nice results Ben, your gonna love this lens.

[ipschoser1]

Fantastic photos folks! Not a bad little lens either.


17-40L shot of mine from this past week. I use it as a walkaround on my APS-C body.

How do you get access to the train yards like that?

Thanks. The first shot (CSX 2274) was made from public property. The road runs right beside the spur track the locos were spotted on. The second shot is a result of asking nicely... ;) Tresspassing on RR property is bad juju.

Yeah, that's exactly why I'm asking... I shot a bunch of trains when I lived in MT because access was very easy with it either being right next to public property (so you could shoot from there) or the yard guys were very friendly if you asked first. Here in RI is seems all the places I'd like to shoot, no matter how nice I am, I get rejected....

But I have recently found 2 separate lines I can get to. One is under construction so they have "work engines" and the other is for a dinner train, but since they're done for the season, they're just parked along a quiet public road... I'm hoping this week/weekend I can make some time to go shoot them.
