Ecoustics
07 April 2008

  • Pros: Image Quality, Great Value for L series, Not too heavy
  • Cons: Not a f/2.8

A last minute addition that has proven to be a great asset

Ecoustics
07 April 2008

  • Pros: Typical Canon "L" build quality...excellent. Silent AF, constant aperture, internal focusing.
  • Cons: The only negative is there is no hyperfocal scale.

A "must have" for lovers of (Canon) wide-angle lenses!

Ecoustics
07 April 2008
  • Summary: Back in the sixties (well before many of you may have been born), a number of top photographers like Horn and Griner (Steve Horn, Norm Griner), Bert Stern, Francesco...
  • Pros: An ultra wide-angle zoom lens, well constructed, reasonably priced, yielding great image quality…
  • Cons: Well, $700 is $700, reasonable or not!
