More UWA from the York Minster:

More wide angle fun from the 17-40. Don't let anyone tell you it isn't a sharp lens.

Thank you - the shot is at 17mm but I had to crop out the vignette with stacked CPL and ND filter, so it should be wider..

il probably end up with this lense for my landscape shots! amazing lense for its price.

Your shooting snowboarders - 17-40 allows you to get in close - perfect for you.. and dam you have the 35 L, I so love that lens but it's off my budget, settled for the 100mm 2.8 L IS Macro instead

Stunning set - we have the Dom here in Paderborn, might fire my butt down there and get some inside shots and yes you are right, 17-40 is so dam sharp!

How close is the MFD on the 17-40? Could probably take some cool picture at 17mm when they are railing or jumping looks like a fun lense, to bad it doesnt have a 72mm filter diameter since i have a 72 CPL filter

yea the 35L is my favorite lense that i have ever used, so sharp even wide open, colors,bokeh,af and the FL is pretty sweet!

The 100L macro is sharp and probably a fun lense too, would have been awesome to test one out sometime!

You have alot great stuff on your flickr

Here's a few

Wow! These are sharp. Great stuff.

What PL are you using?

Thank you!
I use a Nikon polariser, not cheap but gives a very strong polarisation and is slim enough to not induce a lot of vignetting on full frame cameras.

Here's one that proves the 17-40 can also be effective as a wildlife lens, just need a little bit of patience and out of box thinking and a remote release.

I just sold my 17-40L, these are the last pictures I took with this awesome lens:

Very nice

I keep threatening to sell mine too, but just as I'm about to I find it's needed again for one last job

I know I'll miss it but lately I found myself shooting landscapes and architecture with my 24L and Samyng 14 99% of the time. I fear I might be turning into a prime photographer without noticing
