The five-stop image stabilization is great, though you can't really rely on it to actually provide that much leeway. This is all done optically, too - there's no digital shenanigans going on to correct distortion. In fact, it's hard to detect any distortion at all, which is quite the feat. There's excellent sharpness from edge to edge throughout the focal range, though the edges aren't as sharp as the center, as you'd expect.ĭistortion is actually minimal even at 15mm.

In terms of image quality, this lens definitely delivers. I've got a review of this lens upcoming, but in the meantime, see what Matti Haapoja thinks of it in the video above. Of course, this focal range is great for many other pursuits, too, like travel photography, event photography, and even wedding photography when a wide-angle lens is needed for small venue spaces. I can go ultra-wide at 15mm and capture tons of detail or narrow the field of view and capture simpler compositions that draw attention to a specific landscape feature. The reason I picked up this lens is because as a landscape photographer, the focal range is perfect.

There isn't a focus distance scale on the lens, but one is displayed in the viewfinder and on the rear LCD when shooting in live view in manual focus mode. This lens has a customizable control ring that can be used for just about any functionality you need - aperture, ISO, white balance, and so forth. Of course, as an L-series lens, the optics are outstanding, providing clear, sharp, beautiful results.

It feels weighty and robust, and though I haven't had a chance to use it in poor weather, I'm willing to bet that the weather sealing works like a charm! When you pick up this lens, it is unmistakably a Canon L-series. It does this beautifully, too - and nearly silently as well, which is a bonus for shooting video. The motor in this thing - a Nano USM - is hugely powerful, which is a good thing because it needs to move around the enormous glass elements inside the lens. The f/2.8 aperture is overkill for most of what I do, but it's nice to have that option if I get a wild hair and want to take some portraits.

However, if you ask me, the size and weight are worth it to have features like 5-stop image stabilization and full weather sealing. That’s a big lens for any camera, let alone a small mirrorless body like the EOS R. So, this lens is stuffed with all kinds of goodies, which is why it’s such a hefty lens at nearly five inches long with a weight of 1.86 pounds.
