Canon 16-35 f/2.8L vs 16-35 f/4L IS vs 17-40 f/4L

[@koalamusik]

You are always there to help me with my decisions, years before I even know about them😄

[@MakeSushi1]

that robbery scene was hilarious

[@KandiKlover]

+How To Make Sushi IKR? Gotta love Kai and his penis lenses

[@kyledc4105]

How did he launch that bird out of the lens @ 0:07 ?

[@legionclips8910]

This made me lol

[@Neopulse00]

Thumbs up for Kai using the L-lens for teabagging the robber.

[@annalauraamenta]

Why do you always make me buy new lenses? I neeeeeeed to get it!!!

[@JesusChristIsLord__]

You mean _them_?

[@BULLSHXTYT]

Checkout Tamron 15-30 VC, it is insanely good

[@AkafiAli]

Ugh same!

[@MisterHydra3]

annalaurakummer Yup fuck me

[@luvnvrfails2000]

This is his job.

[@tyman112222]

I saw Kai yesterday in Chinatown in London. Greatest thing ever

[@UAP_888]

That "helps you win a prize at Nikon contest" crack me up.. :D

[@Ar-kx4hp]

Great video, most of us have learnt this lesson now; a modern image stabiliser on an f4 is way more useful than a 2.8 without one.

[@ManFree1021]

I was going to get the 16-35 f/2.8L, but I ended up with the Tamron SP 15-30 f/2.8. I mean, it's not only cheaper, but it also outperforms the Canon. It opens all the way to 2.8, it has IS, wider than the Canon, absolutely wonderful flare control and it's super sharp, what's not to love? If you are looking for an ultra wide angle and doesn't really mind bit having the red ring, I would highly recommend that lens

[@paulfresh]

Samuel Hung I was considering it but it’s heavier than my canon 70-200 f4. Plus buying a filter holder is bulky on that thing. I’m torn

[@withtiago]

Fish eye and fixed lens hood are not so easy to handle..

[@MrSWphoto]

"Might as well photoshop the millennium falcon in" 😂😂😂

[@adrians.1890]

I picked up a 17-40mm and a 35mm f2.0 IS (both used on Craigslist) and got the best of both worlds for hundreds less than the 16-35mm f2.8 IS

[@ShiroKage009]

Wow, such a good video. More of these please!

[@leahsusbilla4815]

I've watched this video numerous times in order to understand the differences and figure out which lens I ant to get next. This video really helps. Thank you.

[@KoolCreation]

Same!

[@LouieKotler]

That intro tho!

[@juggaajerry]

+Louie Kotler I was like "wow"! Looks really neat

[@NPJGlobal]

+DirectTech22 How neat is that?

[@JimHendrickson]

I use my 16-35mm f/2.8 for night sky shots all the time. That's primarily what I got it for, and it takes better images than the 35mm f/1.4 stopped down to f/2.8.

[@cbflazaro]

when they're done reviewing and pissing on these lenses, they go back to the box to be sold as "new" on their website. :)

[@KandiKlover]

+Bruno Lazaro Really?

[@rui3104]

+Bruno Lazaro I don't think they will do that. They are not peddlers and their reputation is much more valuable than that several thousand dollars.

[@JesusChristIsLord__]

Agreed. That explains why the lens I ordered from the DigitalRev store reeks. J/K

[@白海塔]

Liked for the Nikon contest joke. What about the results at f8 or similar apertures though? Does the IS lens still have the edge, or do they produce similar images?

[@stefantotev]

The 16-35 f4L IS is better at any aperture especially in the corners. Even at f/11-13 the 17-40 and 16-35 2.8 are very soft around the edge of the frame.

[@TheIshikawaRin]

You gotta love the stock music that DRTV use in all of their videos; it's so fitting.

[@daveyan]

Ohh hey a lens comparison. I haven't seen one on this channel in a while. Any chance we'll see more comparisons with the other manufacturers? Sony, Fuji, Olympus, and Panasonic?

[@DanielMelzerPhotography]

+David Yan that would be nice!

[@maipenlaikap]

If I was looking to shoot at anywhere between 16-40mm then I'm likely to be shooting landscapes or nature at f8-f11, using a tripod if necessary to expose correctly. At these f-stops with a tripod both the fast aperture of the 2.8 and IS of the 16-35 f4 become irrelevant anyway. It depends on what you're using the lens for, but for me I'd be using it for nature/landscape, where I don't need a quick handheld snap and don't want a shallow depth of field. If I was shooting people or something more fast moving, I'd use a longer focal length or probably a prime. The f4 would be my pick.

[@djrbfmbfm-woa]

u r back on the best of your game, guys. j.

[@saifultrains]

The new DigitalRev TV looks a lot better to watch. Of course entertaining and informative at the same time.

[@darthgzuz]

got f4 is like 6 months now n rally enjoying it

[@Peter.Junior_]

Exactly what i was looking for. Great video man!

[@p_shimansky]

Why haven't you released that review before I bought my 17-40 for video making. I'm really in need of stabilization... I guess I'll sell my 17-40 and buy 16-35 Thank you!

[@shabbbsy]

Really bumped up production value, nice :D

[@Chrismzeller]

Awesome! Can you do the same for Nikon 14-24, 16-35, Tamron 15-30?

[@danandjenphotography4967]

Great video, and your house looks so clean.

[@Sentrymode]

+Legacy Moments Photography i think hes gonna retire, but look is still in china doing work while kai is chilling his life..

[@nikonmark37814]

How good is image quality with the 5Ds + 17-40 f/4 L, 16-35 f/4 L IS and the 16-35 f/2.8? It's November 14, 2020 and I just purchased the 5Ds for $1299 (US price from B&H Photo) and I'm looking for a wide angle zoom to replace my Tokina 17-35 f/4 AT-X Pro.

[@BMWDriver1992]

Idea for a video: macro lenses. Looking at some Sony macro lenses (since I own an Alpha 65), there's 30mm, 50mm and 100mm. Not sure what the advantages are or scenarios for using them. Go for whatever brand, of course.

[@WhatAreYouBuyen]

2:49 great weather seal test

[@mauriciojosecolombo7587]

Do you think 17-40 mm is well for wedding photografy?

[@stevemartin3052]

You could have used Magic Lantern, it has a built in intervolameter.

[@metalbear30]

The continuity in this video made me question it. If the editor simply made a mistake. Because at 04.44 in the video, Kai talks about image stabilisation. The video show that when the image stabilisation is off it in focus, but when it on it's a blurry..?

[@fahadbashraheel1187]

I really enjoy you Videos. Can you please do a video on " Battle of the red ring Primes " Canon 85 mm 1.2 L ii, 50 mm 1.2 L, and the 35 mm 1.4 L ii. Comparing them in terms of sharpness, color rendition, for what purpose each lens is designed for and BOKEH. Thanks and keep on the good work.

[@ReddenDoom]

"4 extra stops of bragging rights" - had me laughing!

[@GrantUchida]

straight up thought that bird came out of the cuff of his jacket

[@spacebar420]

I like how Kai conjured a bird with the 3rd lens at 0:06

[@solomonshv]

By the way, this is a camera store telling to go and buy the cheaper lens. good guy digitalrev

[@dstefanek1988]

if I win the powerball I would donate $1Million dollars to Kai, if he goes back to HK.

+dstefanek1988 why not $1Million to Lok to go to the Uk?

[@RandomDudeOne]

Well, it's 3 years later and Hong Kong is getting kind of scary.

[@zakjones2020]

Cool new intro!!! :D

[@Hex72]

Hilarious, and the production quality has shot up recently, love them smooth transitions.

[@ColinAllanPhoto]

Fantastic and again love the patter

[@VA3OSO]

The best part of star trail photography is the duck tape.

[@mickb5854]

This seems like it was done by a different editor. Higher production value maybe?

[@mrkeang9170]

香港Photography你好 why you don't make a review of Sigma 12-24mm f4Art lens ?

[@amipal24]

Big fan of UWA lenses, having used the Olympus 9-18mm M.Zuiko for the last few years. However, I'm now looking to replace it with the sharper, and wider, Panasonic 7-14mm. No way will I be going for the wider Olympus, that's stupid money.

[@thomasjoseph86]

This is their 666th video. Illuminati confirmed

[@kylefraser6456]

sick meme dude

[@JesusChristIsLord__]

Yeah, they could've deleted their old videos and kept the video count at 665 _but they didn't_. Illuminati confirmed.

[@rialbb]

lmao, i need a good laugh. thanks. also, i needed the info on these lens.

[@MetroTruckLife]

You’re cool man, I like your expertise in lenses

[@richmck007]

I continue to learn, you continue to amuse me! Another pun ridden class! You have my vote on that f4 L but how does it compare to the Tokina 11-16 or 11-20 both being brighter at f/2.8. Sure the L lens are dog's cojones, but L lens are not always in reach of every Tom , Dick or what was your name!?! I ask, as they are ultra ultra wide by comparison to the three you used in this video. Have you compared the two Tokinas together? Keep punning ( oops, panning..! ) us with humourous tech videos!

[@wes9756]

How about a video on 3rd party (Tamron, Sigma, Tokina) 24-70 f2.8 zooms?

[@JaxsonNZ]

Do Canon still not include an intervaltometer for interval shooting?!

[@jaysonmussry6928]

+Richand Fleur Jackson They do on the 7D Mark II

[@terrance_huang]

7:02 did you forget to turn IS off?

[@daoquang900]

I have a 16-35mm f2.8.. Should I feel bad about this :/ ?

[@rowrowjordan8693]

Can you review the Fujifilm X-a2?

[@docsharp0864]

I know that gaffer tape is really useful but you might find that a rubber band and a pen top work just as well for a shutter release for continuous shooting, reusable and no gaffer tape residue on your DSLR.

[@itsabhi.88]

how can i come to digitalrev UK and work for them and learn something in photgraphy field

[@mhitchner]

Hahahaha the Nikon photo contest part... perfect!

[@gunnarjensen5910]

And the 17-35mm f2.8 ?? Or the 17-55 mm for that matter ?

[@CubeDomination]

dude I've seen that same street in another video of yours 0:31

[@smitavinchurkar9196]

For interiors which 1 would you suggest? 16 35 or 17 40

[@TheSamEnglish7Show]

Besides giving out suggestions on cameras, do you actually give-out (away) cameras and shit (accessories)? Because I need one you know.

[@AnthonyBordignon]

At 0:43 my kids walked up behind me. oh brother.....

[@RobynASDxxx]

great video, even though i no longer use canon, i love gear reviews, specially lenses, though you have not reviewed a fuji lens in ages, time you should, that new 35 f2 wipes the floor with the older 1.4, i have even seen someone comparing the 60mm macro to the 56mm 1.2, preferring the macro!!!

[@prsprivate1543]

what was the camera body?

[@kelvinlow9041]

How can you do a review like this without including the 11-24?

[@MacIsASkiBum]

when its available, can you do a review of the tamron 85 1.8 vs the Canon 85 1.8?

[@charlieking8794]

You should review the canon 1200mm f5.6

[@Dubi00]

I own the 16-35 2.8, and I kinda wish I saw this video first. Luckily I own a Ronin for smoother shots. :)

[@sz8093]

How about the tamron 15-30mm f2.8 Di VC against both Canon 16-35mm f2.8 and f4??

[@jonathanotto2283]

hey drtv please do episode of manual focus vs auto focus

[@ilidenstrmrege987]

what about the 17-35mm f2.8? you can get it for as low as $300 used

[@danielbriggs9586]

How's it stack up to the Tamron 15-30sp?

[@DogWatchFilms]

4 stops of bragging rights, Brilliant!

[@fixxiehartmann5540]

me: watching camere revies since two hours my mom steps in me: looking at the screen 0:42 shit

[@beeble2003]

3:00 Er, you know that the 17-40mm is only fully weather-sealed with a filter on, right? (Possibly the others, too.)

[@thecameragear4617]

+beeble2003 his put the lens cap so I thing its ok

[@beeble2003]

+‫חתול חתול‬‎ The lens cap isn't a tight fit at all. It definitely doesn't count as weather-sealing.

[@MartinKusyn]

Somebody already mentioned Tamron 15-30mm 2.8 with IS ... what about that?

[@Japanglish_]

Does it not make sense for me to buy the 17-40 f4 if I don't have a full frame camera and already have a 18-55 kit lens?

[@Tesla3001]

don't waste your money. the 18-55 will be sharper than the 17-40 on your crop body. keep Ff lenses to Ff.

[@JesusChristIsLord__]

Agree with DigitalPatriot. Save your money. The 17-40 is soft from 17-24mm. You kit lens is actually sharper. Don't buy into this L-lens hype because not all L-lens are created equal. The 24-70mm f/2.8 Mark II, for example, is *crazy* sharp. If you want a faster lens, I recommend the EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8. This one is much sharper than the kit lens but will only work on crop bodies. If you do decide on this one, make sure to get a good copy as there are a sizable number of bad copies out there.

[@shewmonohoto]

Honestly, if you need to have the difference between 'L' glass and a 'Kit Lens' Explained.... never mind.

[@bigoxtailbone2]

[@cjonwickham1933]

What big difference 10mm 10-24mm 16-35mm vs 15-45 or 18-55mm kit lenses besides price? 8mm too small fisheye effect and I dont like f-effect on zoom in out the lense black corners on 10-24mm shown in another youtube review. I think 15-45mm/18-55mm kit lenses good enough for vlog closeups landscape some portrait and 24-105mm as daily driver and 55-250mm/70-300mm for telephoto.

[@nap1869]

Kai PLEASE do some Fuji reviews. For example the new X-Pro2, X70,...

[@ahoffman83]

review the Pentax K-1 full frame

How would the Tamron 15-30 f2.8 VC stack up against these lenses?

[@terence94hk]
