Canon EF - Wide-angle zoom lens - 17 mm - 40 mm - f/4.0 L USM
I have been looking for a wide angle lens for my Rebel XT for a while now. I have my Tamron 11 - 18 mm Wide Angle lens but it only works for certain shots and it is not good with a certain amount of daily, I wanted something else that would get the right amount of light for the shots I’m taking. I have had the Tamron for about 2 years now, I bought it used but in very good condition, so after looking around for a while I chose the Canon 17 - 40 mm Wide Angle Lens. It has very good reviews and very reasonable price compared to the newer version released by Canon which is a decent amount more expensive.
Initial Thoughts:
- Great shots in the 17 - 28 mm range, after that there is a bit of blur but still excellent pictures
- Fantastic during day light
- A bit slot since its f/4 but very quiet focusing mechanism
- It is a high quality lens for a good price compared to others in its range, and I do like Canon Lenses
This isn’t a thorough review but I am getting a lot of good pictures initially from this Lens, indoors and outdoors. So overall I am very happy adding this lens to the list that I have. I will be making a full post of the equipment that I am currently using to take pictures with.

you should’ve demonstrated a shot with the lens and a shot without :) it would give us an idea about what your trying to get ;)
Not bad. Not bad at all.
Even though it’s a L+USM lens, my money would have been on the ultra-fast 16-35 f2.8.

But hey, The internetz have been abuzz with rumours that you are selling all your bikes; so there’s still a chance, huh? lol.
Laialy: I am going to do that soon! I just wanted to show this excellent lens that I purchased.
Cajie: The difference in price wasn’t justified for my use since I’m an amateur and this is a really good lens for a good deal. No selling of any bikes, none what so ever!
this is the God of lenses
