Canon EOS 5D & EF 16-35mm f/2.8 L II USM - Dynamic Ultra Wide Photography

by GoldenHammer

Since I got my 5D some months ago, and confirmed myself to have 5D serves me as mainstay in landscape and event work, the kit lens 24-105/4 is capable of covering most everyday work, I need some wider and higher speed lenses, enablers for spectacular and creativities in landscape/ low light works. I have considered 14/2.8 II, 24/1.4 and 17-40/4. I finally go with a 16-35/2.8 II lens instead of primes and the 17-40/4 after some careful inspection and refined requirement. Firstly, it comes with my most favorite focal length ranges and that is a compromised solution - versatile, and high speed for my dynamic style. I say dynamic, that means to be able to run under most environment without the requirement of tripod and minimal time of lens change (I prefer priorly have the right lens selected and attached to the right camera and shoot throughout the job). Now the 16-35/2.8 II is always on my 5D and 24-105/4 on the 40D, they are ready to serve my instance requirement. Secondly, 16-35/2.8 II is a new design lens optimized for latest Canon FF body, it has consistent performance across apertures. In fact, Canon made this lens to work at wide focal length and wide open aperture, I am surprised by its output at 16mm f/2.8 that worths its price for some creative and lower available light work over the 17-40/4. See also Canon EOS 5D - An Ultra Wide Exploration of Plitvice Lakes for more ultra wide samples and Canon EOS 5D - Dark Angel in Digital Photography for more assessment. These sample pictures tell much about the capabilities of the 5D and 16-35/2.8 II combo, check the EXIF for technical data.
