This is a good-value, light-weight ultra-wide zoom lens for full frame, but due to needing a fair bit of correction I'd only recommend it for use on bodies with built-in lens profiles such as the 6D series (or 5D mk3 and newer, but this lens makes less sense on a 5D). If you are on APS-C there are much better choices (such as the 18-55 kit lens, which covers this entire range with similar, sometimes better IQ). The ergonomics are perfect - full time manual focus, no front element rotation (or any sort of movement at all). Focus is fast and accurate. But if the image quality is comparable to an APS-C kit lens, what's the point in using a full-frame camera with this lens? Well, firstly the field of view is equivalent to 12.5mm on APS-C, which is very wide. Secondly, the f/3.5 aperture would require an f/2.2 lens to match depth of field on APS-C, and the f/4.5 at the long end is equivalent to an APS-C f/2.8. I'm not aware of a 12-22mm f/2.2-2.8 APS-C lens at anything close to this price. So when compared on that basis, you're getting something that's difficult or expensive to achieve on an APS-C sensor for cheap. On the other hand, you really want to stop down to f/5.6 to get decent sharpness, which brings you back to an aperture equivalent to f/3.5 on APS-C - the starting aperture of the wider and sharper Canon EF-S 10-22mm - and that lens is very good wide open. If you shoot on a 6D already - maybe you have a 50mm or 85mm prime and want a walkaround ultrawide - this is a really good candidate. But a Canon 10-22mm on APS-C will give you better image quality, with a wider angle at the short end and the same reach at the long end, albeit with less depth of field and less flexibility in low light. It's also a bigger lens. If you need the best (or even above average) image quality look elsewhere, but this is a really nice lens to use, and photography is about much more than sharpness and straight lines. I really wish Canon would make an updated version of this lens though - the 16-35mm f/4L is arguably its closest modern equivalent, but it's larger and heavier, and much more expensive than this lens ever was.Vollständige Rezension lesen

I am an amateur photographer with a limited budget who needed to add to my range of lenses, by purchasing a wide angle lens preferably in the range of 17mm - 25mm. My two old DSLR cameras namely the Canon 5D and the 30D, means with the EOS mount I can use EF lenses on either camera but the EF-S type does not work on the 5D. My choices were further limited by: Cost, Budget limited to £180. The 30D sensor size 1.5/1.6 Focal length multiplier eliminates EF-S lenses. Prime lenses as well as the L range lenses were eliminated on cost, even second hand. My choices therefore came down to Short Zooms supplied by Canon and Sigma etc. I eliminated everything except Canon as I had had incompatabilities of functions on other makes of second hand lenses. I eventually settled on the Canon 20mm-35mm f/3.5-4.5 which had reasonable technical reviews and although superceded was still readily available second hand, due to more experienced photographers upgrading. I purchased the Lens, End Caps, 77mm UV Filter and Canon Lens Hood on ebay for £160, which I consider an excellent purchase everything being in excellent condition. I can't speak in detail about the Technicalities of the lens but there are many reviews on the Internet such as in slrlensreview.com if the reader would like to browse. All I can say I have not been disappointed with the lens which has given me extra capabilities. Yes there is slight vignetteing in the corners at the 20mm focal length at f3.5 but I can take care of that with Photoshop Elements as I can the slight lack of Colour Vibrancy. For my purposes the lens is an excellent acquisition, I'm more than happy with it.Vollständige Rezension lesen
Because it’s relatively small and light and has excellent ring-type AF, and because it costs much less than other full frame Canon wide lenses. Optically it is less sharp in the corners than the bigger and much more expensive L lenses but can still be used to take great photos...and in any case wide lenses for SLRs are famous for not giving sharp corners. For the weight and budget-conscious photographer, this really seems a good compromise. Try not to pixel-peep the corners!

It is a beautiful mid range Canon wide angle zoom lens. I buy it because of the ease of usage and super lightweight. If you are used to L series zoom lens you will find that this lens deliver moderate quality image that need editing processing to make it better. On the whole it focus real fast, silent and light weight and deliver moderate quality images. Overall look of this lens. The hood is very large. I usually shoot without lens hood. Over feel. The lens balance well on my 5D and I enjoyed using this lens.
Typical Canon Quality!
