Sigma 17-35mm f/2.8-4 EX DG IF HSM Aspherical Super Wide Angle Zoom Lens for Canon SLR Cameras

The super-wide angle’s useful range of view can be conveniently utilized by simply rotating the smooth zoom ring. SLD (Special Low Dispersion) Glass is used for effective compensation of color aberration. Two pieces of molded glass aspherical lens elements offer excellent correction for distortion as well as all types of aberration. It is an ideal lens for Digital SLR Cameras as well as film SLR cameras.HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor) provides quiet, high-speed autofocus shooting, as well as full-time manual focus. It is easy to revert to Manual Focus by simply turning the focusing ring and overriding the AF.An inner focus system provides high performance and convenience. The non-rotating lens barrel perfectly suits the matched petal shaped lens hood.

Sigma’s 17-35mm f2.8-4 EX combines a fast f2.8-4 maximum aperture with ultra wide angle zoom lens of 17-35mm. It incorporates aspherical lens elements in the front, as well as rear lens groups, to correct spherical aberration. It also incorporates internal focusing to prevent deterioration of the optical quality at close distances and to eliminate rotation of the front barrel during focusing. A “perfect hood” is provided. The AF drive for Sigma SA and Canon AF SLR cameras is equipped with a silent, responsive and fast Micro Hyper Sonic Motor (H.S.M.). The lens materials used in this new lens are lead and arsenic free ecological glass.

Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM Ultra Wide Angle Zoom Lens

Inner focusing system with USM Closest Focusing Distance 0.28m / 0.9 ft. Zoom System Rotating type Filter Size 82mm Max. Diameter x Length, Weight 3.3? x 4.1?, 1.3 lb. / 83.5 x 103mm, 600g

The EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM is a high performance, water-resistant, and ultra wide-angle Canon L-series lens. It has been specifically designed for improved edge-to-edge image quality that will meet the strict requirements of professional and high-end amateur photographers. It features 3 high-precision aspherical lens elements, each of a different type: ground, replica and GMo for even better image quality than the original EF 16-35mm f/2.8L USM. The circular aperture produces a beautiful and natural background blur when shooting at wider apertures. Other features include internal focusing, a ring type USM (Ultra Sonic Monitor), and new AF algorithms for fast and quiet autofocusing.

Canon wide angle a must for any photojournalist
Since most digital SLR cameras tend to squeeze the average wide-angle lens until it basically becomes useless in tight quarters, the Canon 16-35mm f2.8 goes a long way toward solving that problem. Even at 16mm, the lens performs admirably, and the auto-focus mechanism is fast, silent and flawless. Yes, it’s expensive, but a couple of picture sales will pay for it.
