Pros:Compact lens in relation to the focal length, with faithful color rendering, precise and fast AF, bright
Cons:in relation to its focal length, I do not find defects, but obviously results and problems inherent to its focal length, such as a slight vignetting to f.2.8
Opinion:In my opinion, the results of this lens are excellent, especially considering that it is a wide angle, and brings with it the optical problems of these focal lengths. It has a more than good yield even at TA and at maximum focal length. Returns faithful colors. It has a fast and accurate AF. Let's also remember that it is an L series lens and therefore reliable. It is a great help indoors where most of the time there is little light. Personally, as far as I am concerned, I can only express a more than positive judgment.
Opinion:Lens bought with a lot of "perplexity" in March 2022 without scratches or signs of apparent wear. Despite being over 20 years old with the 22 MPX of the 5dIII he behaves very well and weighs 1/2 kg. I urgently needed a wide angle below 20 mm and there was this. I then tested it in various situations even at TA and at 17 mm it has always behaved well. Also used to highlight painting work in large buildings. With a bit of practicality on the 5dIII and on photography in general, the colors are always realistic and the deformations of the 17 mm contained. It may not be competitive with an R5 and its 45 MPX, but I admit I expected worse. To read the comments present I consider myself "lucky" because I have not found what is reported
Pros:in the center always sharp, af very fast. great for street and sports. landscapes only at f11. holds up well against the light
Cons:Split edges almost always, they become sharp only from f8 or more closed. forget the night at ta
Opinion:bought at least 5 years ago on the bay for 300 euros. MECHANICS: excellent construction, af and zoomed very fast. Optically: in the center it is always sharp or very sharp, but only in the central part. at TA as soon as you move away from the center the quality literally collapses and the corners are almost totally smashed. this happens at ta and up to f8 at 17mm. at 35mm the quality already improves a lot at f5.6. the blurry is ugly, very nervous. what is strange is that on the other hand in the center it is always very very sharp even at ta and at all focal lengths. for me with this lens there are two possible uses: portraits, sports and action in general but only with subjects in the center or you can do some landscape but at f11. I do not recommend it for architecture because it distorts a lot and is difficult to correct. in conclusion I recommend this lens only for portraits and sports with subjects in the center. do not pay more than 300 euros because there is better https://www.kenrockwell.com/canon/lenses/17-35mm.htm https://www.opticallimits.com/canon-eos/176-canon-ef-17-35mm-f28-usm-l-lab-test-report--review https://www.amateurphotographer.co.uk/reviews/lenses/canon-ef-17-35mm-f2-8l-usm-field-test
Pros:Robustness , compact and excellent brightness
Cons:Vignetting
Opinion:I have been using this lens for several years and mounted on different machine bodies, the results are always excellent: a dated target, but always many satisfactions ,It does not create too many distortions in the images as it is not a wide-angle pushed. Great yield for night photos and opening at 2.8 allows great use in closed and dark places
Opinion:Beautiful object that has its years but that can still take great photos. If it is around 300 euros in good condition makes sense appropriate. If not it is absolutely best to go on something newer. I from 2.8 to 3.5 found it almost unusable as much as it kneads the details and as far as vignette, so at that point it was so much worth having a wide F4. For astrophotography with MAF at infinity instead everything OK.
