The circular aperture, meanwhile, produces a beautiful and natural background blur when shooting at wider apertures. Other details include internal focusing, a ring-type ultra-sonic monitor (USM), and new AF algorithms for fast and quiet autofocusing. The lens carries a one-year warranty.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
This lens has been reviewed by many people and has been criticized as well as lauded for it's properties of build quality, brightness, sharpness, and the quality of color it transmits to the sensor (or film).
My concern about sharpness in the corners was based on some critical reviews. But like so many reviews of so many lenses over the years, they're not telling the whole story. Simply put, in practical application of this lens, it is incredibly sharp and produces incredible images. It's a very handy package, though the lens hood is challenging to get into a pocket when you just want to carry the lens in the pouch and walk around with little but a camera and a lens or two.
I have no regrets about purchasing this lens. It's everything I hoped it would be. I had considered buying the 17-40mm because of the savings and because of the same-size filter (77mm) to other lenses in the line. I imagine paying twice as much for this lens and then piling the filter on top of of that is going to put some people off. I am glad I waited and raised the money - the extra speed of the lens and extra angle of view at 16mm was well worth an extra week of selling film cameras and old lenses on that popular auction site...
If you're trying to decide to buy this lens, I will not give you any information that will discourage you - in terms of technical quality this lens is unbeatable. If you don't need the speed, or don't expect to use the lens much, the savings on the 17-40 might be worth it. For me, I'm guessing this lens is going to be on my camera a bunch!

This lens is nice and fat, just like a cinema lens, and therein lies much of its power. The bigger glass allows more light to enter into the sensor, giving the camera more "information" to pack into the frame, whereas with cheap, small lenses, the sensor has to essentially blow up and extract a muddy image from a tiny window. Drop the contrast, sharpness, and saturation settings to zero, add some L-Series glass, and your DSLR video can compete with Genesis, Viper, and can even hold its own against Red, at 1/10th of the cost.
This lens is perfect for the 7D's APS-C sensor. With the 5D, vignetting is a bit of an issue wide open. The focal range is perfect for walk-around footage, steadicam shots, and wide-angle effects shots. Consider this an essential range.
If you want professional-quality video, you need to have L-Lenses. I no longer care about the cost...I am immediately replacing my lens lineup with L-Series glass. I can't believe I've run a photo/video business for 6 years without L lenses! Besides, compared to other lens manufacturers, L-Series lenses are actually quite cheap. I've had the benefit of comparing this with Panavision lenses and I can assure you, there's no significant difference in the results. NONE. This is a gold mine for independent filmmakers.
Shell out the cash. AND be sure to add a few hundred more to the cost of this lens, in the form of high-quality filters! Protect your glass! And do it properly...there is no point in spending $1k+ on a lens if you're going to ruin it and put a piece of plexi-glass in front of it...just because you want to save $50. Get a $100 multi-coated (MRC) UV filter from B+W and just think of it as an insurance policy on your lens. Put on the filter the moment you take out your lens and never take it off.
Happy shooting! You will love this baby.
I don't have any experience using the mkI, but I have traded my 16-35 II with a co-workers 17-40 for a few weeks and made the the following observations (on full frame):
1) wide open, noticeably better performance in the corners on the 16-35 (all focal lengths), just a hair sharper in the center.
2) sunstars are far more pleasant on the 16-35, and not as clearly defined on the 17-40 (even at f16). I'm a big fan of landscape photography and creating sunstars
3) obviously, a stop faster, allowing for shots at night or indoors that otherwise would be impossible handheld
4) 1mm on the wide spectrum is far more useful than 5mm on the long end.
That said, it's highly arguable if it's worth paying twice as much for a very similar lens. For my needs, there was no question which lens belonged in my kit, but sometimes regret paying so much for it. The 17-40 is a much better value for the $, unless you absolutely need the widest, fastest, zoom lens in canon's lineup (as of march 2011).
As much praise as I have for this lens, there are two things that fall short for me:
1) Chromatic Aberation. My biggest dissapointment with this lens is the mild to moderate chromatic aberation (some situations worse than others) in the corners at nearly all apertures, something I was hoping all the numerous UD and aspheric elements would have corrected for. Thinking this was a defect, I returned my first copy to have a second copy exhibit the same CA. I sent it into Canon who reported nothing wrong with the lens/camera combo. I can deal with the softer corners (others have complained of) wide open since those are the areas I usually want out of focus when shooting @ 2.8, but it's annoying to have to correct for CA, due to how often I shoot with this lens. Not a deal breaker for me since I can correct in post, but it's annoying and something important to note.
2) Softer center at 35mm @ 2.8. This zoom is tack sharp in the center from 16-28 wide open. The center resolution @ 35mm falls off more than I would have liked.
If Canon ever released an answer to Nikon's 14-24 2.8, I would not trade this lens. An extra 2mm on the wide end would be fantastic, but losing 24-35mm would kill the versatility of the lens for me as a day-in-day-out, do-everything lens!
