Pros:Lightness, compactness, does not turn the front lens and does not stretch in the zoomed, optimal focal for FF format, good sharpness even at the corners already at TA, in the optimal center, low distortion, excellent value for money (used).
Cons:So far I have not found any downsides.
Opinion:I did not know that this lens existed if I had not read a sales announcement. In just over 300 grams it contains 4 wide-angle focal points, all with their own charm and peculiarity (20 mm, 24 mm, 28 mm, 35 mm, fascinating!). I bought it used, and after trying it I decided to combine it with a 28-105 f 3.5/4.5. Although I do not consider the latter to be at the level of 20-35 (both optically and constructively) I must admit that, due to their compactness and lightness, the two constitute an excellent combination, especially in terms of portability, with a respectable optical yield, although not from the L series. This 20-35 seems un diffuse and quite difficult to find. The value for money (of the used, of course) is really the best I've ever found. In a vote I would undoubtedly give a 9.
Pros:Sharpness, autofocus accuracy, very compact and lightweight.
Cons:flare resistance, distortions, tend to be dark.
Opinion:Purchased to temporarily replace the 16-35... I already knew what I was buying but overall it did not disappoint me at all, overall it has a very standard yield with very light and delicate colors, there is a good sharpness ratio already in TA but with closed it becomes very sharp, the focus is quite fast and quiet, you can work very well even in fast conditions, I recommend it especially to those who do landscape and for those who work on the road.
Cons:flares, diaphragm opening not constant and also slightly dark
Opinion:I didn't even know about the existence of this goal. One day browsing the bay I jumped out of this lens, so I looked at the other few reviews here on Juza and decided to take it. The lens has a plastic body (but metal Bayonet) but it's all pretty solid, which conveys a feeling of robustness. The distance window is very useful. The lens is pretty sharp even at TA. I tried to take a picture to the starry sky and at 20 mm and f/3.5 diaphragm behaved quite well, despite the presence of light Pollution. I think it gives the best of SE on FF (i use it on a Canon 1ds) otherwise on APSC it would behave like a 32-56. The only sore note, as other users have also reviewed, is the very low resistance to flare. About the lens hood I want to point out that it is not good that the 10-22 or 17-40 L, or rather say could also attach itself but with serious difficulty (i had taken the lens hood for the above models but I had problems), so after a little research on the Internet I saw that the lens hood suitable for this lense is the model ew-83ii, and not therefore the model Ew-83e. Conclusion: If you are looking for a lens that allow you to do street, and landscapes, this in my opinion is Ideal. Value for money more than good.
Pros:Economical, lightweight, very crisp, distortion contained and easily corrected, tiny, nothing moves and does not stretch zooming, plasticous but great construction
Cons:Flares everywhere and hardly removable !!! Strong contrast drop if used in backlight
Opinion:Very sharp, small vignetting and a few chromatic aberrations and a little distortion of a stop is even sharper, it is not clear at all. Probably the focus is not correct. The problem with this optic is that it suffers much in backlight. Large and colorful flares, contrast drops rnrn the rest, if you need a broad budget for FF, for the approximately 200 euros you use it is a great and only choice. The only alternative I think is sigma / tamron 17-35 2.8-4 old generation I would not use it on apsc, i think a normal 18-55stm is equal or better with multiple ranges
Pros:Lightweight, USM, versatile especially on FF but also interesting on aps-c (+/- the angle of a 34/56), fairly crisp, aesthetically pleasing, unobtrusive without hood (with is more comprehensive but more bulky and visible), internal auto focus and full time MF.
Cons:A bit dark, flare often present with PL, AC, distortion still correctable to 20mm.
Opinion:Lens rather rare and little known with interesting focal range especially on full frame, lightweight, focusing fast and without any extension of the barrel. Did not have (like zoom range) heirs them among the professional L-series lenses, the optical quality which probably comes very close. New cost over 450, is now out of production (but not easy) to around 200 euro. Mount the hood of the 10/22 17/40 L (77mm filter diameter), it becomes a little cumbersome but it is important because the flare there and it becomes difficult if not impossible to eliminate it. Does not guarantee deadlifts plans it blurred particularly pleasing as it is quite dark, great for street and vistas where a 20/35 always useful. Clear if closed, I did not notice vignetting on FF, resolute and crystal clear on aps-c sensor as dense as those from the 550D on! Overall good lens that does not excel in anything, but you can do a little of everything in the field of wide-angle or even held fixed at 35mm (or 20mm on the size) ... does not make you droolbut can give satisfaction. Aesthetically, in my opinion very very nice (for what it can import). rn
