Canon EF 11-24mm f/4L USM

The Canon EF 11-24mm f/4L USM is a unique lens that combines an incredibly wide field of view with a zooming design and constant aperture.

Ultra-wide field of view. Maintains f/4 when zoomed. Very sharp.

Shows some barrel distortion. Corner and edge dimness. Omits filter support. Big and heavy. Expensive.

Conclusions The Canon EF 11-24mm f/4L USM is a lens that's unmatched in the market. It's the widest rectilinear zoom for any system—to get a wider field of view you'll need to look at a fish-eye lens like Canon's own EF 8-15mm f/4L Fisheye USM —and...

Canon EF 11-24mm f/4L USM Review

The Canon EF 11-24mm f/4L USM is a unique ultra-wide-angle zoom lens that's very capable but also very pricey indeed. Ideal for landscape and architectural photographers looking for an all-in-one zoom that can also give them a competitive edge thanks...

Canon EF 11-24mm f/4L USM Review

The image quality for such a wide angle lens is nothing if not impressive. The Canon 11-24mm ƒ/4L exhibits excellent center sharpness at all focal lengths, even wide open.

Canon EF 11-24mm f/4L USM review

The Canon EF 11-24mm f/4L USM is an ultra-wide DSLR zoom lens, but it's got some strong competition

Mighty maximum viewing angle ; Excellent build quality ; Impressive image quality

Expensive to buy ; No image stabilization ; Color fringing and distortion

For a rectilinear rather than fisheye lens, this full-frame compatible zoom takes viewing angles to the extreme. The price tag is similarly large but Canon’s EF 11-24mm is something of an engineering feat and has impeccable build quality, along with...

Canon EF 11-24mm f/4L USM

We don't often cover lenses on their lonesome, but the Canon EF 11-24mm f/4L USM is a bit special. It's the widest-angle rectilinear zoom lens for full-frame DSLRs in the world, making it a perfect companion for the just-announced Canon 5DS or 5DS R.

Canon 11-24mm f/4L USM review

Canon defies the laws of physics with the widest rectilinear (non-fisheye) wideangle lens ever made

The widest angle of view ever for a non-fisheye! Good distortion control

Large front element can be cumbersome Price

This has few rivals – only the often-overlooked Sigma 12-24mm comes close. The Canon 11-24mm is expensive, but it delivers an extraordinary angle of view and could prove a key lens for architectural photographers.

Canon EF 11-24 mm f/4L USM

So far the 16-35 mm models have been the widest zooms offered by Canon - at the shortest focal length they offered an angle of view reaching 107 degrees. This category has always been dominated by Sigma which already in 2001 presented the AF 15–30 mm...

brilliant image quality in the frame centre ; very good image quality on the edge of the APS-C sensor ; sensible image quality on the edge of full frame ; lack of longitudinal chromatic aberration ; imperceptible spherical aberration ; lack of...

high level of lateral chromatic aberration at the 11 mm focal length ; huge distortion at 11 mm ; high vignetting on full frame ; disastrous work against bright light ; no possibility to use classic filters
