This Canon 17-40mm L series professional lens offers a useful wide angle range with a constant aperture of f4. Released over 10 years ago this is one of the oldest lenses in the Canon line up. Canon EF lenses are compatible with all Canon DSLRs, but on an APS-C sensor camera it has its focal range multiplied by 1.6 (the sensors crop factor). You might also consider the newer EF 16-35mm f4 lens which has IS image stabilisation, a slightly smaller zoom range but a higher price, currently £1098.50.

Notes On Prices
The new prices above are for genuine UK stock items. I try to include as many shops as I can, but please do your own research. Remember, if you find a much cheaper price it is almost certainly a grey import - so make sure you know what this means for you, and make an informed choice.
Many of the shops listed above contribute financially to the cost of running Camera Price Buster, thereby keeping it free for you - these shops are indicated with a yellow asterisk, please use them when you can. When you click through to a shop, you may be directed via a third party to enable the shop to indentify that your visit came from here. Some shops pay a commission on these sales. This does not alter the price you pay.

Absolutely love my 17-40 and would not part with it. Has never let me down in rain, hail, snow or hot sun...a true workhorse.

Bought (in a bout of retail therapy) to fill the shorter end of the range in my lense selection. Lovely lense to use. Full time manual focus. Weather sealed (if you use a filter). Fairly light. 77mm filters fit. Quick focusing. Covers a useful range from 40mm (gives good results on a 1.3 crop factor camera without grear distortion) down to 17mm.

I bought this lens as a replacement for the EF-S 17-85mm and Ive noticed a definite step up in terms of overall image quality; nothing earth-shattering but significant nonetheless. I like the build quality, sharpness and ease of use of this lens. Its also compact and I dont notice the weight of it at all on my 30D. I dont miss the 40-85mm focal range which I gave up by switching away from the EF-S 17-85mm either (though of course this really depends on what you like to shoot) as I just use my feet more if I need to get in closer. I can find nothing to complain about at all regarding this lens: sharpness, colour rendition, CAs and barrel distortion are all excellent/acceptable for my needs.
