Canon EF 16-35 f4L IS USM opinion needed
Nov 23, 2018 12:51:22 #
You didn't really lay out your needs. I love my Canon 16-35 f4 lens. I got it shortly after it came out and it pretty much is always on the camera except when I specifically need a different lens. It is amazingly sharp for the price and it is been to much of the world with me. I can't recommend it highly enough. I also have the 16-35 f2.8 III lens that I got for astro-landscape photography. Here I needed the faster lens, but unless you are doing that kind of photography the F4 version is a terrific, relatively inexpensive, and lightweight lens. Even though I have the 2.8 version, I still usually travel with the f4 version because of its weight and the image stabilization in it. I have a friend with the 2.8 II version and it is not as sharp as the f4. So, I would say unless you want to do a lot of night photography, you will be very happy with the f4 version.

Not sure if that's a KC-135 tanker, I don't think so, it's way to small.

There is a major improvement in sharpness between the F2.8 ii and iii. I sold the ii and bought iii

It's a 135. The cargo door and access hatch are a give-away, not to mention the big 128th Air Refueling sticker. Google KC-135 and you will see several near identical photos taken at angles that show the wings for a better indication of size.

I have had this lens for a couple of years. I just love it and don’t find F4 limiting at all

I am in the last thought processing of buying this lens. Can anyone who owns lens this tell me anything bad about the lens? I know some of you will say I should get the 2.8 but for my needs I can't see spending the extra money.

I have had the 16-35 II and it's outstanding. Love those 13x19 prints. Never cared for the 17-40, maybe my view. The sharpness and color on the 16-35 is worth the $.

The version iii is a major upgrade from the ii. I bought the iii and sold the ii right away
