We Have Received Our EF 11-24mm f/4L

[Canon Rumors]

<p>We have received our Canon EF 11-24mm f/4L and we’re over the moon about it.</p>
<p>I’m heading out this weekend for some winter landscapes to try the lens out. I’ll also be using it at the end of March for 10 days shooting the Isles of Skye, Lewis & Harris in Scotland. After I’ve completed that photo tour, I should have a good amount of images and field work for a review.</p>
<p>I’ve shot 12mm on Leica before, but I’m hoping this goes a lot better than that experiment did.</p>

Out of curiosity, what went wrong with the 12mm on Leica?

Performance, the lens isn't very good. Vignetting and that Leica colouration issue popped up. Framing was nearly impossible. It's tough to get dramatic images when you're guessing on composition. It was the easiest lens to focus thought.

Congrats!! -- Looking forward to your review once you put it through some paces.

I can't even imagine at guessing the framing with a lens that wide... I guess it was kind of like pulling the lever at a slot machine!

Congrats on the 11-24mm -- it seems like a beaut!

Has to be some type of visual gag...

I just don't get the excitement over this as a landscape lens. Interiors, sure. Teeny tiny mountains in a flat wide vista, nope.

Nice use of the royal "we"! I hope the lens turns out to have an aristocratic pedigree.

Why do I hear the theme from 'Jaws' playing in the background?

That's the new F/0.04, right?

Mine came today... it was supposed to arrive by UPS yesterday, but some kind of "emergency situation delayed delivery." I knew it would be big, but it's bigger in person, and heavy too. You have to see it to believe it. Took a few shots in the house only so far. It will be great for interior architecture. What a beauty!

Yes, it’s that big.

LOL - is that product shot by Peter Lik? ;D

I heard it's a really awesome performer. It will be one of those lenses that keeps your camera bag from blowing away- like my 14mm Rokinon. Invest in a pair of cushions for the shoes. If it is as heavy as the Tokina 16-28mm f2.8, get a pack mule.

It's 200g heavier than the tokina
