New Canon UWA lenses (EF 16-35mm f4 L IS USM, EF-S 10-18mm f4.5-5.6 IS STM) - Brightcolours - 05-13-2014 They look to be rather impressive ultra wide angle lenses (according to the MTF's).

Pricing: $299. New Canon UWA lenses (EF 16-35mm f4 L IS USM, EF-S 10-18mm f4.5-5.6 IS STM) - Klaus - 05-13-2014 It was about time - the 17-40L is a bit weak at 17mm. New Canon UWA lenses (EF 16-35mm f4 L IS USM, EF-S 10-18mm f4.5-5.6 IS STM) - Brightcolours - 05-13-2014 Yes, the MTF's promise this to be a better lens than the rest of them. It did put on some weight, though. New Canon UWA lenses (EF 16-35mm f4 L IS USM, EF-S 10-18mm f4.5-5.6 IS STM) - popo - 05-13-2014 That 10-18 is likely on my shopping list! Within the usual cautions of cross comparing MTF charts, I wonder how it compares to the older Sigma 10-20, as that is what I never got around to replacing. I just want good enough at low price in this area. New Canon UWA lenses (EF 16-35mm f4 L IS USM, EF-S 10-18mm f4.5-5.6 IS STM) - Guest - 05-19-2014 I'm with popo on this one - the 10-18 is very likely to get on my shopping list. I've been eying the Sigma 10-20 just always been irking a bit at the price. And this one is even cheaper and with IS. I see a plastic mount there but that won't prevent me from buying it. If it is any similar to the other budget Canon lenses (18-55, 55-250...) then should be a good deal... That is if the MTFs prove to be as good as advertised. Which leads to the obvious question of the PZ testing - any feedback on whether these will be tested soon or at some time in the future? New Canon UWA lenses (EF 16-35mm f4 L IS USM, EF-S 10-18mm f4.5-5.6 IS STM) - popo - 05-19-2014 The wide open MTF doesn't look anything special, but at f/8 it is as good as I'll ever need, plus the extra DOF wont hurt. Just like the old Sigma 10-20 was... I hope it is cheap enough to buy and test soon after availability. New Canon UWA lenses (EF 16-35mm f4 L IS USM, EF-S 10-18mm f4.5-5.6 IS STM) - Rover - 05-20-2014 That makes me wonder - Klaus, did you ever think of adding block diagrams to your reviews (probably on the first page of each) if they can be easily sourced? While a block diagram won't say much to most of us (certainly doesn't tell me much WRT expected lens performance), it could be a nice touch. New Canon UWA lenses (EF 16-35mm f4 L IS USM, EF-S 10-18mm f4.5-5.6 IS STM) - JJ_SO - 05-20-2014 If it doesn't "say much to most of us", what's the point of making the pages larger? :wacko: Decorative reasons? Work increase to the editors should have a reason. I appreciate very much on the PZ tests, that one gets necessarily informations without much clutter around.

So the only way would be to draw them oneself...

If the block diagrams are available as "press images" there would be no issue but this isn't really done too often. |
