Canon EF 16-35mm f/4 IS USM 'L' lens review with samples (Full-frame and APS-C)

[@sharinglungs3226]

You’re my go to guy for lens reviews. Those test charts really help.

[@headbang3r519]

I still use this beast for architecture. It works wonders in hot countries where low light is not an issue. The only thing to know is that this is NOT a portait lens. In lightroom, the subject may not be detected via AI too. But this is my go-to lens for architecture. Even in 2023, it is so sharp. There is not much between this and its RF successor.

[@DavidMNewbold]

Really enjoy all of your lens reviews. Very informative.

[@Fisu614]

The flare test result was a big surprise for me. I have had this lens for almost two years and I have never had any issues with flaring or loss of contrast even when the sun is in right in the frame. Infact, I have seen this lens producing some very minor ghosts only in less than ten pictures!

[@woodynat2000]

Yes I agree, subjecting it to direct sunlight whilst videoing isn't really a true test of this lens! Also the distortion and vignetting you talked about is not that bad at all!

[@redtails]

+Woodgate Photography Why would using it on a sunny day while filming not be a true test for this?

[@woodynat2000]

+redtails Because it's not a photo, it's a video

[@redtails]

Woodgate Photography Are you saying a lens flares differently when used in video mode compared to taking photos...?

[@Hubieee]

^^ I guess that's what he does ^^

[@karthikd490]

Your voice is therapeutic!!!!

[@prometheus23c]

Agree 100%. Christopher's voice is so nice to listen to! And his advice is always on point.

[@NickRay-el3sr]

Hello Christopher, thank you for all the reviews and all the bases you cover from large to small and cheap to cheerful.

[@kevindiossi]

As I await Canon to release a modern 16-35 f/2.8, I got this lens for my real estate and automotive photography needs. The current f/2.8 has horrible distortion, chromatic aberration, and lens hood design (usually not something people care about, but I use hoods constantly). I made the right decision with this lens as it's a stellar performer for my needs, with its only true shortcoming being that it's one stop slower. Because of this, it's not ideal for low light, but I seldom find myself in need of fast apertures with ultra wide angle shots anyway. So perhaps not a perfect wedding lens, but easily Canon's best ultra wide.

[@videosuperhighway7655]

I bought one for a Used 1DX body I purchased. I like getting deep in the action when shooting, close up to my subjects etc.. and I would be shooting F/4 and up all the time so this lends fits my need perfectly. And you get IS to boot :)

[@stephenpartridge686]

I just bought this lens to use on my 6d, love it, love it, love it, far, far, far better then the 17-40!!!!

[@markharris5771]

I have been looking for a 10mm upwards zoom for the 7DII, so I can keep using the Cokin P filters, but none of the 3 main choices had you singing their praises due to chromatic aberrations, soft corners etc. As I want it for landscape photography, so in the main using apertures of f8-f11,I think I will go with this one for the 5DIII. Then either deal with the vignetting caused by using undersized filters or use bracketed exposures and luminosity masks. Having the 14 basic filters in Cokin P size, I refuse to start again in Z size or buy Lee filters as I don't think the returns justify it. By the time you have bought the 1,2,3,5&10 stop ND, 1,2,3 ND grads, 1,2&3 reverse grads, 2&3 hard grads and polariser you could have bought yourself a decent house with the money. I accept I with have to buy the correct size polarising filter to help with the lens flare but rather that and have sharp images with practically zero CA than compromise elsewhere. Thank you again, I'm really glad you have this channel and I don't know if you realise how much your opinion is valued in the Canon community.

[@abdullahk9801]

I get much less flaring with my 16-35 f4 I am no sure why it became a problem in your test 🙂

[@RISE-327]

[@josephasghar]

The sun spike examples I’ve seen from the canon lens are super nice.

[@AgnostosGnostos]

The Tamron 16-30mm f/2.8 VC is sharp and has a great price. However it doesn't accept filters. Polarized and ND filter are essential for landscape photography and the 15-30mm focal range is ideal for landscape photography. Tamron should put a filte ring in a future version. A filter ring even at 100mm.

[@tonyw3250]

Can you do the mk2 2.8 version of this lens please

[@mdturnerinoz]

Another concise, yet complete, review; nice job!

Thank you Christ!, I always watch carefully again and again your review videos before I buy any lens. Hope you have more review about Canon "L" lens like Canon 16-35mm f/2.8L, Canon 35mm f/1.4L too :)

[@opwave79]

Thank you for the review! I've heard good reviews of this lens because of the IS. I can live with the f/4 max aperture because I only plan to shoot landscapes and creative still life with it.

[@kevinoskar]

nice review as usual. You have never disappointed your audience with your honest in depth review. On a note, I thought you sold your 70D and kept your 60D for your APSC Camera. Did you buy a new one? if you did, why didn't you buy 80D instead?

[@s87343jim]

He may have recorded the video before he sold his camera.

[@christopherfrost]

For this particular video I borrowed my mother in law's 70D :-)

[@markharris5771]

Hi Christopher, have you seen the filter kit for the Tamron? But it does add about another £150+ to the price.

[@MrArc4]

I’m debating if I should get this lens for my rebel T7. I do event photography. I have the kit lens. 18-55mm (APSC - 28.8- 88) With the 16-35mm i would be around 25.6-56 Also the aperture.

[@ianjack6868]

As I already have the 17-40mm F4L, do you think it would be worth trading it in for this lens? Would there be a significant improvement?

[@christopherfrost]

There will be quite a significant improvement really - if it were me, I certainly would consider trading

[@smaakjeks]

Oh, yay! I've been keeping my eye on that lens! I'm glad you got your hands on it for a review.

[@mikepawlikguitar]

Hey Christopher, in light of RF now, would you still recommend this over the RF 15-35 2.8 for my EOS RP? Especially if I get the EF-RF adapter for free? f/4 is only one stop slower than f/2.8, and this lens only costs nearly 1/3 of the RF 15-35... Your opinion is much appreciated! It will be a hybrid lens for me, for landscapes and 70% video work/vlogging.

[@jiturajboneja7400]

i want information about New Mitakon Zhongyi Speedmaster 85mm F/1.2 Camera Lens, can u pls help me

[@jerryfortenberry1956]

I recently purchased the Canon RP. I own only 1 lens. The RF 35mm 1.8. I would like to purchase one more lens..a general purpose zoom lens . My prioroities are landscape and astro. I don't think I can afford a 2.8 lens unless it is a Tamron and it seems they are large and bulky ?? So I am looking at user EF 16-35 F4 versus 24-105 F$. What would you recommend? This is almost the "if I could own only one lens" I guess. Thanks for any advice you might have.

[@rscampos100]

I have two cameras, Sony a7 II and a Canon R7. My focus is fineart landscape. Could you recommend a lens that I can use in both? thanks

[@juliosanchez6677]

Hey Crist, a big fan here, I've been following you for some years now, will you consider doing a review on the Tamron SP 15-30 2.8 vc (version one) lens? Thank you in advance!

[@christopherfrost]

I already have :-)

[@mohanmch]

@@christopherfrost which one would you pick? The Canon 16-35 f/4 or the Tamron 15-30 f/2.8?

[@windmagnus9422]

Hi Chris, I would like to replace my very old 28-105mm silver lens with a wide angle lens. I'm currently using a Canon 650d with an APSC sensor, but I intend to buy a full frame camera someday. That's why I'm hesitating to buy a Sigma 18-35mm lens, which is designed for APSC (and usuable only at 35mm on Full Frame)...Would the Canon 16-35mm f/4 or the Tamron 15-30mm f/2.8 be a better option, even if I decide to switch to full frame within 5 - 10 years ?

[@chrismondragon3016]

[@MrDoraHo]

Hi How do you think about the 17-40 vs 16-35 , $300 US difference in my country but is that worth it in a dslr like 6D?

[@christopherfrost]

Personally I would say the price difference is worth it...just.

[@Mikeybikey88]

It’s worth it. Newer design and with IS. Also it starts at 16mm.

[@OfficialBLacKaLaLi]

Does it work with Canon 80D? Crop sensor

[@SirBamBam404]

I wanted to get your advise on filming,,I have the cannon 70-200mm,, the EF 16-35mm, Lumix 35-100mm, SLR Magic 8mm f/4.0 Ultra Wide Angle Lens and Xeen 24 mm rokinon so if you were shooting videos or a movie what would you them?

[@BossaNovaCyp]

Did you have a chance to compare the real Tamrom's 15mm? Everybody says in fact it looks like 16.

[@fabius_costa]

Are you going to review the new 18-135 with power zoom? Thanks

[@Martyn0001]

Thanks. I enjoyed your review. When reviewing the corners of an image could you please review all four corners as the number of lenses I have bought that are decentered leads me to believe that this is a serious quality control issue with many brands. Thanks.

[@clipped538]

Hey would you recommend a 60d over say a d5500? they are going really cheap right now and im tempted to get one. I would be shooting landscapes and buildings

[@christopherfrost]

+Raeygo The D5500 is a much newer camera, right? It's probably better. It depends really on whether you want Canon or Nikon.

[@Martino190]

Hello Christopher could you please consider doing a review of Tokina 16-28 as I've heard that it's a beautiful yet affordable wide angle lens...

[@MariNate1016]

I’d disagree with your assessment about the 17-55 being better than this for APS-C sensors. Especially the newer M50 for example which I use which has a Digic 8 processor. 1: L series glass is L series glass. It’s for pros, that’s why it costs so much and why that red ring is so sought after. 2; The 17-55 is due a MAJOR update as it’s like 10 years old compared to this bad boy only being 4. This lens will also be resellable for 95 percent of its worth and you’ll be able to use it on FF when you upgrade. If you don’t know if you’re serious about photography and video making, sure go with the cheaper older 17-55. But if you’re serious, this is the wide angle you want. Especially with the new speedbooster.

[@issacshinigami9518]

Like Your Review! BTW, I have a question. Now I have two selection of lenses. one is the Canon 16-35mm F4L IS USM, one is the Tokina 11-16mm F2.8. Right now I'm using Canon 70D. Which would you suggest for me to buy?

[@christopherfrost]

They are completely different lenses. I don't see the point of getting the 16-35. They the 11-16, and a Sigma 17-50mm f/2.8 OS HSM

[@JusticeFreedomDestin]

Chris, do you have a review planned for the Sigma 50-100mm f1.8? I'm really excited to see your conclusions about this lens. Cheers!

[@christopherfrost]

Yes, when I have a 24mp camera to test it on. Hopefully I can get some funding on Patreon

Hi, This lens is already in the market for such a long time, it has proven to be a an excellent lens, also there are so many reviews on the tube and on the net of this lens. There is no need to repeat findings already done by others. You should spend your precious time on reviewing currently made lenses and quickly as well. Hope you take this as suggestion not a criticism.

[@Moregoreable]

Hello nice review! I'm having some doubts i have Canon 70D and i'm not sure about this lens or sigma 18-35 f1.8, in apsc sigma has better sharpness and overall image quality but my main concern is that i will probably move to FF in 2 or 3 years so i think canon 16-35 f4L would be a smarter choice but i'm concerned with image quality on apsc sensor, do you think it's a very good quality lens?

[@alexandrebrsilva]

Thank you so much for your review. 1) Is the review of the canon 14mm already up? I can't find it. 2) During the lens flare text. Was the lens with or without cap? 3) I use optics compensation in after effects to correct barrel distortion. Any better tip for ae or final cut? (Maybe a plugin with lens profile like we have for lightroom. I don`t know.)

[@christopherfrost]

1) A good question about the 14mm. I shot a review, but the results of the tests were really bad. The copy I was trying seemed to be seriously decentered so I ended up abandoning the review. 2) It was without the hood. 3) Don't know really

[@alexandrebrsilva]

Christopher Frost Photography thank you so much for your attention. I know it is disappointing to waste footage. Your reviews are the best in quality and duration. Maybe you could try again in the future and also compare to the 16mm. Take your time to do it. The lens is bad with flaring and might be the justification that it comes with the hood.

[@frederickj.7136]

+Der Xer ... The bottom line for you and other Canon owners [and I'm a Pentax DSLR-centric, semi-'retired', non-fanboy "old school" 'Nikon' pro, BTW -- not "semi-pro", whatever that's supposed to mean]: Just keep a search on at a certain sometimes questionable auction site for barely used Canon M3 bundles... which some people are giving up for a song ---> Short sighted people fail to grasp the M3 *system* due to Canon's weak initial start with mirrorless (the original EOS M with half-baked initial firmware) and their own unrealistic expectations for the M3 to be some kind of DSLR substitute (as per the breathless hype for Sony alpha and its "world's fastest" autofocus). Unlike the usual aggressive blowhards in KZbin comments and elsewhere you've seen, I actually *own* two M3 'bundles' now -- to get all the bits I'll need at the very lowest net cost -- AND Sony full frame and crop... AND high end Pentax for DSLR. Because truly contemporary*, relevant* reviews are hard to come by [hint, hint, hint, Chris], few have so far more than barely noticed that it's Canon's ultra compact EF-M and EF-S lenses that the EOS M *system* is really all about. So many distractions are being thrown up, all around the M3 itself... still! I do own many very fine prime lenses in my dotage (too many at present, for sure, but temporarily), yet only one native to Sony -- the full frame 28mm f.2.0 FE -- ...and it is going to be moving on soon. Sony's lens offerings are a mish-mash of the very old, the middling, and the very new and super price-y, lacking a coherent overall logic: too large... noticeably costly for their class, typically... yet too uncompetitive in performance for the asking price... too bland in 'rendering' qualities, etc., etc. Canon's EF-M lenses, especially, are in a league by themselves (with a couple of "kit" lens exceptions), as far as all around system suitability for gaining a bit of featherweight, typical-DSLR-lens'-thrashing IQ goes. Yet the effectively "illiterate" with respect to this specific matter, so-called reviewers included, retain -- and certainly do express openly -- numerous thoroughly wrong-headed opinions... which are believed, it seems, by quite a few unambitiously naive wheel spinners who like to show up with third hand "opinions" in photo forums and "comments" threads... All these systems have their rough edges, frustrating elements, and gaps. Do your homework without unreasonable bias -- that is what I'd advise anyone wise enough to recognize the ring of truth. You should compare your 16-35mm f.4.0, 22+ ounce 'L' glass, Der Xer, on some well considered Canon bodies (including full frame) in Brian C.'s test chart comparator [the-digital-picture.com] to the 7.6 ounce (!) EF-M 11-22mm/4.0-5.6 on the M3. These rather close distance, flat test chart results are hardly the be-all and end-all for evaluations... but your jaw will drop, nevertheless. It's about a deep, dark 'secret', folks... And these *stabilized* lenses are NOT actually "slow", as they're almost universally characterized to be -- not if shooting at optimum apertures for best IQ means anything to you. Can we just dial down the internet driven, thin D.O.F., bokeh fetishism for once? Then take a look at dustinabbott.net for the American Southwest (Arizona?) landscape picture gallery associated with Dustin's sensible and honest, blog site M3 review [BTW, he's a pastor, Chris, if you didn't already know]: EF-M 22mm f.2.0 and 11-22mm f.4.0-5.6 employed. Those photos are just about all you're really going to need to see & understand... in order to start getting what I've suggested here: that is, if you have much by way of some useful, pertinent conception about how this sort of gear works, and you also understand your own true needs* as a photographer... as opposed to one's endlessly getting wound up with internet driven 'desires', as we all do from time to time. That's all I'm going to say about this... ...EXCEPT, CHRIS ---> Would it be possible, somehow, to pull off reviews of the EF-M 11-22mm, 22mm, new 28mm macro (with ring light on board!), and 9.1 ounce 55-200mm on a 24.3mp M3 body?! ...Thanks for tuning in, everybody... and thank you, Chris, for your unusually thoughtful, civilized reviews. At my place ---> EF-S 10-18mm & 55-250mm (outstanding on-point reviews there, Chris)... EF-M 11-22mm... Rokinon 12mm/2.0... 22mm/2.0... EF 28mm/2.8 IS USM & 40mm/2.8 STM... Rokinon 50mm f.1.2... [All bought barely "used" at FAR below "expectation market value": for the present, just like 'putting money in the bank']... + 70mm/2.4 HD DA Pentax "Limited" 'pancake'... 12+ ounce 100mm DA Pentax WR 1:1 macro (a virtual "Limited" lens, in fact)... just to name a couple other lenses of mine which are perfect for my 'new' ~450 shutter activation, "used" M3/EVF + Canon EF/EF-S to EF-M adapter camera base. Everyone keeps saying the EOS M3 system is lacking lenses: ...Well, >>ahem!

[@derxer614]

Ah, WHAT are you actually telling me? I did not understand a word...

[@frederickj.3792]

O.K., Der Xer, I may have assumed too much about your interests in pursuing the best image quality in the second camera you have been considering, because of your owning the nice full frame Canon lens featured here. So let's keep it simple. The auction site I was referring to is eBay, whose interests I dislike promoting too much for very good cause. Buyer beware; and try to 'know' your seller -- a couple of well-considered emails up front can save you a lot of grief later. As for the simple camera, you might then consider one of the last two generation Sony RX-100's. Or the latest generation of the Canon all-in-ones with the so-called "larger" ["1 inch"sensor] -- the GX-8, is it? These have had slow auto-focus issues in the past, so do your homework there before buying. Neither is really anything I'm personally interested in for reasons I think I explained thoroughly in my main post. I hope this helps a little bit. Good luck.

[@derxer614]

+Frederick J. I'm considering to buy a second hand Fuji x100t. it's the one that fits me best! I'm gonna take a look at a local camera store which sells second hand gear... if they don't have sth with an ok price, I will look for one on Amazon or Ebay

Not really. Might as well get the Canon 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM

[@notgazo7009]

It depends what you have and what you will want to get in the future. If you would like to upgrade to full frame in the next 5-6years I think it's a better choice over the 17-55. But if you don't care about full frame and you don't have a standard zoom lense go for the 17-55 f/2.8 and if you want the best of the best go for the sigma 18-35 f/1.8, its weakness is the lack of IS. Personnaly, I own a 80D and I just get a 16-35 f/2.8 Mk III (a crazy purchase), but I get it at a really good price. I would want to upgrade to FF in the next 4 years (I will keep my 80D as a backup camera). I chose the Mk III over the f/4 IS because I already own the 24-70 f/2.8 MkII (my main lense) and it will be much more easier to partage accessories between them since they are brothers, same filter tread, same size, same weight, same aperture and same build quality (rain and dust).

I would love to see some of these tested on a Sony body!!! PLEASE!!!!

[@banliyö]

i think tamron 15-30 2.8 is much better than this lens. do you agree?

[@PipeMedia]

+emir No

[@MrBaffango]

Not a hope

[@TechKasco]

PLEASE REPLY Did you get your 70D back? What's going on!

[@christopherfrost]

Relax! I borrowed my mother-in-law's 70D for this review. I'll be upgrading to a 24mp camera soon. I refuse to do more reviews until I have that 24mp camera hehe

[@richmck007]

+Christopher Frost Photography hi there once again! Love your prompt intros..! You mentioned that you will be " upgrading" to a 24 megapixel camera, Canon no doubt, but which model? And will you or have you reviewed it? Have a beautiful sharp day! I shall not ask you to REPLY(!), as I know you will.

[@TechKasco]

rich Mck Nikon D3200 jk

[@richmck007]

+TechKasco thanks!

[@TechKasco]

rich Mck You know I'm joking right? LOL

[@midohill1]

do a review for sigma 50-100mm art 1.8 please

[@christopherfrost]

When I get a 24mp camera I will, hopefully I can get some funding through on Patreon

[@jackdiao4576]

Interesting. But based on other reviews. It's shown that canon has much better lens flaring control than tamron

[@DJBastor]

i like your reviews :)

[@bernardosilva7306]

On APS-C why would anyone buy this instead of the Sigma 18-35 F1.8 ART?

[@christopherfrost]

A very good point

[@FATBIRD333]

The Sigma Art lens back focuses at certain focal lengths and apertures. So it's unreliable.

[@bernardosilva7306]

Well, mine doesn't. Maybe I got lucky in my copy, or maybe this is a problem of the past that Sigma fixed on firmware updates :P

[@PsychonautTV]

Because this works for full frame? Pfft..

[@bernardosilva7306]

+《AiM》 "On a APS-C..." hmmm, if I am not mistaken that is the beginning of my statement.

[@marlogue53]

Thanks

[@ardalandb5202]

thanks for youre great videos, i have a question i have canon 6D and i need a wide angle, whats youre suggestion between canon 16-35 f/4 and sigma 18-35 f/1.8 ?? help me plz

[@smxer707]

Ardalan DB the sigma 18-35 f/1.8 is only for crop censor cameras.

[@joelvenne3507]

Will this lens work on a canon t3

[@christopherfrost]

All Canon mount lenses made since 1987 will work on your Canon APS-C digital SLR camera, except EF-M lenses

[@ZaberAnsaryOfficial]

Someone is selling this near me for $300. Shall I buy it? For 70D.

[@christopherfrost]

I think you probably have the wrong lens - either that, or it's broken, because no-one would sell it for only $300

[@TheSteve57]

Very confused by the Canon f4 IS L when it comes to flaring. Some reviews state how good it is (Matthew Gore and Darren Miles for example) and others like yourself state that it has problems. Keep doing reviews,i always your presentation.

[@christopherfrost]

I found flaring to be a real issue with this lens - I was surprised by it

[@TheSteve57]

Thanks for your reply,i think i have decided on Tamron 15-30mm

[@paulfresh]

Steve Moore how do you like the lens so far? Is it that heavy. I mean I carry my 70-200 f4 all day so I might be use to it. The lack of filter options is making me want to to get this lens instead

[@ymad29]

thanks for this video, i would prefer the test on the wall and the door as usual but i have this lens now and i'm happy with it even on apsc

[@magicnala5538]

Thanks just have it . very nice lens
