Much better than I anticipated

Re: Much better than I anticipated

My experience with the 17-40/4L is very similar. Because I am not too much into ultra-wide-angle-stuff, I decided to get a used 17-40/4L (for less than €400,- on eBay). Looks and works like new.

The center is tack sharp on all apertures. The corners are not as sharp, even when opening up the aperture, but I don't care that much. Colors and contrast are top notch.

It's fairly small and very light, another plus.

I don't know if I would have bought it if I were a full-time landscape photographer, but for what I do with it, it's perfect and I even consider it cheap (per typical used price) for what it delivers.
