Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM

Pros: SHARP as a prime, FAST, Tack sharp, excellent contrast.

Cons: Large, expensive.

The Bottom Line: Big and expensive, this lens is the very pinnacle of sharpness, contrast, color and build quality. Buy this lens. Enough said.

Review: When I started doing Digital SLR photography, I started out slow. I already spent most of my money on the D30 digital body to the tune of $2800, and didn't have many choices in lenses.

So, I purchased a 28-200mm zoom lens as an all-arounder...

Pros: Fast, Accurate, Sharp

Cons: Price, Focal range

Review: As a professional, I use this lens for a small amount of portraiture work, but mostly for wide angle and low light shots. Typical of the high quality "L" lens series from Canon, this lens is built to last.

With the 77mm filter size,...

Pros: Image Quality, Focusing Speed, Durability, Fixed wide aperture

Cons: Size, Weight, Price, Filter Size

The Bottom Line: You can't go wrong with this lens, although you should also consider Canon's brand-new 24-70mm f/2.8L.

Review: This is the best lens I own, and I leave it on my EOS-3 almost all the time. It produces some of the best image quality I have ever seen. It is outstanding for sharpness, contrast, color, flatness, speed of focusing, and just about every other lens...

Pros: Excellent build quality, very sharp and contrasty results. Fast autofocus, 77mm filter size

Cons: Very slight softness at edges when shooting wide open @ 28mm range

The Bottom Line: If you have canon EOS this is a must have lens

Review: Over the years I have shot Nikon, Minolta and Pentax. These choices have brought me to become a Canon user today. If you are serious about your SLR photography you will inevitably need to address the need for a lens in the mid range of the spectrum....

Pros: Focus Speed Color and Contrast My copy sharp wide open

Cons: None

The Bottom Line: A top performer in it's class as long as you get a good one. I wasn't able to get this kind of performance from any competition.

Review: This lens is much maligned, but one must first understand that it is a much greater challenge to make a quality superwide angle zoom in the first place. Let me say that I have a number of first rate images that I seriously doubt would have been nearly as ...

Pros: Fast focus, sharp & contrasty photos, build quality

Cons: Price & weight

The Bottom Line: Amazing lens, fast focusing, sharp and contrasty photos. A bit heavy and expensive but worth it.

Review: The Canon 28-70 F2.8 L is one of the best camera lenses that I have ever shot with. As with all L series lenses this one is built like a tank. With all metal construction it is truly a beast of a lens. The weight counter balances well a pro camera...

Pros: super fast auto focus, fast maximum aperture, close focusing

Cons: cost, weight

The Bottom Line: fast autofocus, great light gathering ability, beautiful images, this is a great lens!

Review: This is a professional quality wide to short tele zoom with super fast autofocus and large maximum aperture. It's sharp, accurate and produces minimal distortion even at its widest setting.

The lens is nicely balanced and since it's an...

Pros: f/2.8, Great Clarity

Cons: Price, weight

Review: So why do I like this lens... The most important thing about this lens is it's flexibility. A constant f/2.8 rocks. It's very difficult to make a zoom wide angle with such a low apature. The image quality is amazing and is really fun to shoot with on ...

Pros: Wide constant aperture zoom with solid construction Image quality (on the 1D Mk II)

Cons: image quality (on the 1D) price weight

Review: This is among my worst lenses that I have. Well actually it is the worst but that is not saying it is horrible. It is going up against some amazing other pieces of glass. There is nothing mechanically wrong with this lens. It is environmentally ...
