  • L-series build quality, Advanced coatings, Fast and constant aperture,
  • Not the widest-angle in class, No image stabilization, Pretty pricey to buy,
  • Holding up the wide-angle end of Canon's trinity f/2.8 zooms for DSLRs (or mirrorless EOS R-series cameras via a mount adapter), the third and latest edition of this lens represents an extensive revamp. Corner-sharpness is much improved, compared with pre...

  • Abstract:  The zoom range of Canon's EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM lens encompasses the entire trinity of focal lengths—85mm, 105mm, and 135mm—for portraiture. While the f/3.5-5.6 variable aperture may be a bit slow for available light portraits, it's more than made...

  • Portrait, studio work or macro photography
  • The updated Canon 16-35mm F2.8L III offers some incredible performance wide open at 16mm. It's one of the sharpest wide angle zoom lens options on the market. Many of the issues such as coma, chromatic aberration and corner sharpness have all been address...

  • Ouverture constante f/2,8, Qualité de fabrication, prise en main, Poids et encombrement, Bagues de réglages
  • Manque d'homogénéité du piqué, Vignetage très important
  • Ce nouveau 16-35 mm affronte sans sourciller les 50 millions de pixels de l'EOS 5DsR. C'est une bonne optique qui délivre un haut niveau de piqué malgré des défauts d'homogénéité entre le centre et les bords les plus extrêmes à toutes les ouvertures — ce...
