Why we recommend this

The fast f/2 aperture combined with two ultra-low dispersion elements delivers sharp subject isolation and suppressed chromatic aberration, making it a classic portrait lens. Its ring-type USM autofocus is quick and reliable, while the relatively compact, lightweight build at 71g defies typical telephoto expectations. This lens is best for portrait and street photographers who prioritize a bright aperture and beautiful bokeh over modern features like image stabilization.

Why we recommend this

Combining L-series build quality with a constant f/4 aperture and a 4-stop image stabilizer, this 16-35mm zoom delivers sharp results from its 16-element optical design that includes three aspherical and two ED elements. The weather-sealed, 615g body accepts 77mm filters and offers a useful 0.23x maximum magnification for close-up wide-angle shots. This lens is best for landscape and architecture photographers who need a rugged, stabilized ultra-wide zoom for full-frame Canon EF bodies.
