Canon EF 16-35 f/4L IS Sample Images

F/4 is fine for almost all users. I'm probably one of the few who actually use f/2.8 on a regular basis, just because of the lack of light in theaters. Now that I have my 24-70 MK II, I do not use wider very often.

I'd say this is one of the new family of Video optimized lenses with IS that Canon is developing. They see video as a big selling point, so we are going to see more video features. Who knows, if they get good enough for me to use, I might take up video again. I did do it on Super 8mm film in 1968 for a few years, then again in the lete 1980's and early 1990's on SVHS. Using the video editors with my Panasonic Industrial recorders was time consuming to a extreme. Programming the controllers, black-bursting tapes - YUK!

I've also done it more recently using computers to edit, and even with my DSLR's, but I'm not happy with the results, and not willing to invest time and $$ into video, at least for now.

Just get a Sony RX100.

I just got mine. :D Received a phonecall and could pick it up today.
Just did some testphotos at f/4, f/5.6, f/8 and f/11
What resolution and dpi in jpeg do you want me to upload them?
(going to pp in the new DPP 4.0)

Fullres pretty please, data is cheap :)

I think there is a limit of 6MB upload here - so I have to resize to this limit.... :-\

Resolution and file size are different things. Resolution, as we use it, just means pixel numbers, file size means how much compression is applied to the output. You can easily have a 1200 pixel image that is larger than a full resolution one.

The sharpness and contrast is really nice on this lens... Too bad there is not an f/2.8 version, because I need that more than sharpness.

And, while tempting, I can't justify having two zooms exactly the same range. Oh well... Hopefully Canon will come out with a 12-24 or something, that I could justify.

For landscape folks, it doesn't get much better than this!
