derrick_morin___fallon__ne Posted April 25, 2003 Share Posted April 25, 2003 Maxime, B&H shows that lens price to be TBA with a list of $1200. May I ask how much you paid for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bill_goldman Posted April 25, 2003 Share Posted April 25, 2003 I was just looking at some pictures comparing the EF17-35L/2.8, EF17-40L/4 and EF24-70L/2.8 at like focal lengths and apertures on the DP Review Canon SLR forum. Not surprisingly, the performance of the 17-40 and 17-35 in most cases was very comparable. Also, not surprisingly, the performance of the 24-70 was notably better in most cases since retrofocus wide angle lenses, both primes and zooms, are more difficult to design and performance is not as good as longer focal lengths.

louis_carson Posted April 27, 2003 Share Posted April 27, 2003 I am really looking forward to some opinions of this lens.... Looks like it should be a winner, if the image quality is excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan_gaetani Posted May 29, 2003 Share Posted May 29, 2003 Has anyone seen tests or own the 17-40 with a non digital camera. I want to see the results of 17mm without the 1.5x crap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raulito Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 I just read in a French magazine "chasseur d'images" a review of this lens. It score 4 out of 5, final judgement being that this lens is better for digital cameras rather then film ones with which it shows serious distortion and vignet at wider end.
