CANON LENS EF 17-40mm F.4L USM

Canon’s current and undisputed king of wide-angle zooms is the 16-35 f/2.8 L II: it’s the best as far as image quality, build, and speed of glass are concerned. But what if you were on a bit more of a budget? You could stick with your camera’s kit lens (if it had one), though full-frame users start at about 24mm and almost every crop body kit lens are EF-S, meaning it won’t work with your full-frame camera if you choose to upgrade later on. The latters’ variable apertures also aren’t very appealing. Thankfully, Canon likes to offer us, consumers, alternatives like the Canon 17-40 f/4 L. Lighter, cheaper, and nearly as well built as the 16-35, you can have your red “L” ring and still have enough cash left over to buy a flash. Of course, this lower price does come with compromises, and it’s up to you to decide if they’re worth it.
