sorry for the bump, but is this a good wide angle lens for the money? i need a good wide angle under 200 and this seems right, or the 18-55 IS kit?? i have a xti, and the main thing i'll be shooting is just candid indoor shots...thanks for the help.

better to bump an old thread than to make a whole new one imo...

this lens has poor build quality, lots of CA and was generally a poor performer on my 20d. Shipped it back the next day. I'm impressed by the samples in this thread - is it the same lens ?

Bought my copy for 100 HKD from Hong Kong and I think its a real bargain. Sharpness is good, ok in FF corners, even wide open. Distortions are pretty low. MFD is only 0.5m though. Some CA near edges but easily corrected in pp. Excellent piece of glass for the price!

Heres a sample photo, 5D, 19mm f/5.6. Some pp applied.

OK, here are a couple. I actually have the Vivitar version of this lens, but actually all the glass is from Cosina...

Brandon, i didn't know you picked one of these up. I liked mine so much I got a Canon 17-40, but now rather regret it. I can't believe how well the 19-35s stack up against the Canon. Even with serious pixel peeping I have a hard time seeing that it's better...

You're actually the one that inspired me to take a gamble on this lens Al. :lol: I was tempted to grab a wide angle once I grabbed a 5D Classic and today my MKII arrived AND it was 50 degrees outside! Winter is slowly fading away and I can get out and shoot more than just inside. I actually went to post pics with my Canon 50mm 1.4 and couldn't decipher with my eye if I had taken them with the 19-35 or the 50. :lol: For the low price, I'm definitely content with the results this guy puts out.

Mookalafalas

16th of March 2011 (Wed), 23:10

I used a tripod and shot my book case in low light with this lens and the Canon 17-40 and then used the comparison function in LR3 to pixel peep both lenses shots side by side, and there was virtually no difference. The 19-35 had better corners and is actually a tad lighter at the same F-stop. Weird. I first went back to my camera shop and said I thought I had a defective 17-40! After more study, though, I don't think there is anything wrong with it--just an awful lot right with the 19-35.

Actually, as it looks like you have a crop body, it probably won't be that remarkable for you. I think where this lens really shines is as a super-bargain WA on a FF body...

I have the Tokina version, and f3.5-4.5....question

Sometimes it won't AF, even though it's sharp in the viewfinder. Sometimes between 22 and 33 no matter how much I twist the focus manually, the image is out of focus EVERYWHERE, depending on how far away from the subject I am.

Other than that I love this lens and I only paid 60 for my copy. It also has metal build and feels pretty solid. Tack sharp almost as much as my 24-105/4. I use this on my 5d

Would you consider this a good upgrade for the Canon 18-55 IS? Is there an obvious improvement in picture quality? Never heard of this lens -- interesting!

Would you consider this a good upgrade for the Canon 18-55 IS? Is there an obvious improvement in picture quality? Never heard of this lens -- interesting!

No! The AF is worse and it doesn't have IS. This lens's strong point is it can be used on a full frame camera, for which this focal range is usually super expensive. On a crop body, however, this lens isn't anything special at all. I think you should look at either the Tamron or Sigma 17-50. Much better choice for a crop camera. Good luck!

Nope. I can't remember now who the manufacturer is. Quantaray, maybe? Someone else on here probably has a better memory than me. But they are just marketed under different names. Same lens.

If I recall correctly, the Tokina is different from the others. There is a thread over at Flickr where someone says that lens has a different size and weight. The others are the same, however. Two members here sold theirs on POTN. I think they ended up going for $50! Look for a cheap one.

I have the Tokina version, strangely the exif shows 20mm at the widest.

Nope. I can't remember now who the manufacturer is. Quantaray, maybe? Someone else on here probably has a better memory than me. But they are just marketed under different names. Same lens.

They are made by Cosina.

I find colors and contrast generally need some help (maybe even black and white conversion!), but sharpness on mine isn't a problem. I think I told this story before, but got a 17-40 after I got this (to move on to a "real" UWA), but after doing side-by-side comparisons, ended up selling it.

Probably. I never noticed it, nor the Tamron 17-50's either, to be honest. AF isn't very good, but you can get this lens on Ebay for under $75. Hard to beat. BTW, I finally put mine up for sale (locally). Bought a Sigma 12-24 and a couple of others and don't expect to use it anymore.

Yeah - I asked because I just bought a ProMaster 19-35mm which is apparently the exact same lens.

and for only $55 (+$8 shipping)

I'm pumped!!

Sigma 12-24, eh? Read great things about that lens. What do you think of it? Ever had a 17-40 to compare it with?

I bought a 17-40 a while after I got this 19-35. I couldn't wait to see how much better a "real" ultra wide would be. When I did shapness comparisons (shooting my bookcase of books) I was disgusted to find the Vivitar was actually sharper than the L!! In retrospect, the 17-40 has much better color and contrast, not to mention the build and a strong AF, but dollar for dollar, the 19-35 is the best canon deal there is, IMHO.
The 12-24 is for wide-angle junkies only, I think. At 24 its max aperture is 5.6, so its a dark lens, relatively, and doesn't have L color. But it's very well made, and certainly sharp enough. I'm loving it to death:D

Yeah, sharpness is no problem, and the corners are quite good. There is no correction profile available, which is too bad.
I agree, the darker version of the fountain is much better.
