On this second 3 part mini-series – part of the big Canon lens comparison, Pye from slrlounge takes a look at the 8 popular full frame zoom and prime lenses from Canon (all starting from 35). This isn’t a laboratory test but more of a real world test to look at different aspects of these lenses and how they will effect your actual photography.
The first part (above) takes a look at just the 2 primes – the Canon 35mm f/2 IS (there is also a non IS version), and the fast Canon 35mm f/1.4L.
In all, the 3 part test takes a look at 8 different lenses (6 zooms and 2 primes):
- Canon 24-70mm f/2.8L II – $2300 (on Amazon)
- Canon 16-35mm f/2.8L II – $1700 (on Amazon)
- Canon 17-40mm f/4L – $840 (on Amazon)
- Canon 24-70mm f/4L – $1500 (on Amazon)
- Canon 24-105mm f/4L – $1150 (on Amazon)
- Canon 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6L – $2430 (on Amazon)
- Canon 35mm f/2 IS – $600 (on Amazon)
