I have the 16-35L I admit, it's heavy to use and makes things more cumbersome than a 50 or the longer 85 but the glass is so nice, coated to let so much light through. I enjoy the natural vignetting this lens provides. at lower aperture settings.
28-35 is standard editorial shooting range with (85 being the common portrait). 16 allows you to cover more area in a confined space. it's able to provide a very flat image too, not fish-eyed, with very little bowing at the edges. IMO this makes a great cinematic lens for a 5DMKII or MKIII it will fit on the 7D and other bodies however it does suffer the crop.
The only drawback to this lens is the technical preparation of its use. If you record footage or take photos at 16mm, you'll notice the distortion more, but when leveled and framed properly this lens will consistently create visually stunning images. I believe for the investment, a full frame body is a must to get the most benefit of the 16-35.
- great feedback, thanks so much.bogue
- yeah, full frame is the next body .. but the 7d is still doing what i want and considering the scaled output on the 5dIIautoflavour
- for monitoring, i would save pennies for mkIII.. but yep.. that is a whole other world at the moment..autoflavour
- trying to find something that will keep me happy now and later.. that is my goal..autoflavour
