Canon EF 16-35mm f2.8L II USM Sample Photos and Review

  • Alik Griffin
  • April 12, 2024
  • 2 comments
Consider this review a great example of what kind of images you'll be able to get out of the Canon 16-35mm f4L IS but imagine the images being a bit sharper, especially along the edges and corners. If you're still looking for a lens in this range that is faster like for those that shoot astrophotography, then the current model 16-35mm f2.8 will suit you well.

My review and experiences using the original Canon 24-70mm f/2.8 L series lens. My favorite lens for a long time, and definitely the most versatile.

Canon 70-200mm F2.8L IS II Review and Sample Photos

  • Alik Griffin
  • October 2, 2025

The Canon 70-200 f2.8L II lens should be in every Canon shooter's kit. It's one of those must-have lenses. The image quality is just so beautiful, and owning this lens immediately improved my portfolio. It's heavy, it's expensive, but it's a Canon, and it's worth every penny.

Canon 40mm f2.8 STM Lens Review & Sample Photos

  • Alik Griffin
  • April 14, 2024
  • No comments
The Canon 40mm f2.8 pancake lens has very nice sharpness and clarity—better than my 24-70mm f2.8L @ 40mm. It has a slight vignette when wide open, but nothing to worry about. I've noticed it disappears at around f/4.5. It's also sharpest at the center and drops off slightly towards the edges. You won't notice this as much on a cropped sensor.
