The following opinions have been automatically translated with Google Translate.
Pros:Lightness, value for money (bought used) returns pleasant images that need little post.
Cons:Especially the flare, a bit of distortion but still fairly correct, vignetting
Opinion:Distortion and vignetting, like all wide-angle lenses, easily corrected in post, a little curvature of field that is often not a bad thing, the big problem is the flare, if little, it can be corrected but often it is necessary to work a lot on the image in post, on some occasions it is not possible and the shot is thrown away. However, it returns beautiful images with well-defined but vintage colors, the quality rises by closing the aperture to 8-11 like the old lenses, good for landscape and road, not correct enough for architecture.
Pros:Lightness, compactness, does not turn the front lens and does not stretch in the zoomed, optimal focal for FF format, good sharpness even at the corners already at TA, in the optimal center, low distortion, excellent value for money (used).
Cons:So far I have not found any downsides.
Opinion:I did not know that this lens existed if I had not read a sales announcement. In just over 300 grams it contains 4 wide-angle focal points, all with their own charm and peculiarity (20 mm, 24 mm, 28 mm, 35 mm, fascinating!). I bought it used, and after trying it I decided to combine it with a 28-105 f 3.5/4.5. Although I do not consider the latter to be at the level of 20-35 (both optically and constructively) I must admit that, due to their compactness and lightness, the two constitute an excellent combination, especially in terms of portability, with a respectable optical yield, although not from the L series. This 20-35 seems un diffuse and quite difficult to find. The value for money (of the used, of course) is really the best I've ever found. In a vote I would undoubtedly give a 9.
Pros:Sharpness, autofocus accuracy, very compact and lightweight.
Cons:flare resistance, distortions, tend to be dark.
Opinion:Purchased to temporarily replace the 16-35... I already knew what I was buying but overall it did not disappoint me at all, overall it has a very standard yield with very light and delicate colors, there is a good sharpness ratio already in TA but with closed it becomes very sharp, the focus is quite fast and quiet, you can work very well even in fast conditions, I recommend it especially to those who do landscape and for those who work on the road.
Cons:flares, diaphragm opening not constant and also slightly dark
Opinion:I didn't even know about the existence of this goal. One day browsing the bay I jumped out of this lens, so I looked at the other few reviews here on Juza and decided to take it. The lens has a plastic body (but metal Bayonet) but it's all pretty solid, which conveys a feeling of robustness. The distance window is very useful. The lens is pretty sharp even at TA. I tried to take a picture to the starry sky and at 20 mm and f/3.5 diaphragm behaved quite well, despite the presence of light Pollution. I think it gives the best of SE on FF (i use it on a Canon 1ds) otherwise on APSC it would behave like a 32-56. The only sore note, as other users have also reviewed, is the very low resistance to flare. About the lens hood I want to point out that it is not good that the 10-22 or 17-40 L, or rather say could also attach itself but with serious difficulty (i had taken the lens hood for the above models but I had problems), so after a little research on the Internet I saw that the lens hood suitable for this lense is the model ew-83ii, and not therefore the model Ew-83e. Conclusion: If you are looking for a lens that allow you to do street, and landscapes, this in my opinion is Ideal. Value for money more than good.
Pros:Economical, lightweight, very crisp, distortion contained and easily corrected, tiny, nothing moves and does not stretch zooming, plasticous but great construction
Cons:Flares everywhere and hardly removable !!! Strong contrast drop if used in backlight
Opinion:Very sharp, small vignetting and a few chromatic aberrations and a little distortion of a stop is even sharper, it is not clear at all. Probably the focus is not correct. The problem with this optic is that it suffers much in backlight. Large and colorful flares, contrast drops rnrn the rest, if you need a broad budget for FF, for the approximately 200 euros you use it is a great and only choice. The only alternative I think is sigma / tamron 17-35 2.8-4 old generation I would not use it on apsc, i think a normal 18-55stm is equal or better with multiple ranges
