MSRP
$800 USD

The EF 17–40mm f/4L USM lens is a

parfocal.[1]

Audience

The 17–40mm is the least expensive of Canon's current wide-angle zooms for full-frame bodies,

EF 16–35mm f/2.8L USM being both faster and more expensive. Weighing 475 g and measuring 83.5 mm x 96.8 mm, it is a popular choice with many photographers because of its light and compact size.[3] A member of the L-series, the 17–40mm is a good substitute for the 16–35mm f/2.8 lens, which is heavier and costs approximately twice as much. Canon now sells an image-stabilized
16–35mm f/4 lens for about $300 more than the 17–40.

This lens is also a popular step up from the stock kit lens on many of Canon's EOS Digital family of cameras, the EF-S 18–55mm f/3.5–5.6, for those still wanting a wide angle lens. On a cropped sensor, it has 35 mm equivalent focal length of 27–64mm. In this role, it is compared with the EF-S 17–55mm lens, with which it can unofficially share lens hoods.

Companion lenses

This lens is often paired with an L series telephoto lens, such as the

EF 28–300mm f/3.5–5.6 L USM or any of the EF 70–200mm
family (f/4L USM, f/4L IS USM, f/2.8L USM, f/2.8L IS USM, f/2.8L IS II USM).
