Review: Sharper, Less Vignetting, Greater Color Saturation and Contrast - A Marked Improvement over its Predecessor - The Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L III series lens is the successor to the EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II series lens. It's vastly improved image quality and superb contrast make it a worthy upgrade, if you have the extra cash to upgrade, or are buying a 16-35mm for the first time. The II series has soft corners, and exhibits way too much vignetting, IMHO, at 16mm. The III-series lens, shows very little. The saturation and contrast of the lens is superb. The III is heavier, longer, and larger in diameter than the II-series version, in addition to being more expensive. But those are the trade-offs for improved image quality. If you liked the II series version, I have no doubt you'll love the III series. Highly recommended. Review: pm5rhays@gmail.com - After first renting this lens from Lensrental.com for a gig I decided to buy this bad boy. Sure it weighs more than the same Mark ii version but so what? I had the Tokina 16-28 mm a few years ago and that's just as heavy and whatever abut the thing NOT flaring. Loved it but half my shots had a JJ Abrams flare going on. Someone wrote a review saying this Canon Mark iii lens flared and so far not one flare so I don't believe that and I've already shot about 500 shots on it. Love that the corners don't creep and the glass produces such sharp corner and beautiful picture. In a nutshell I LOVE my new lens after two weeks and I'm a pro who's shot 16 going on 17 years. Buy it for wide angle and landscaping shots plus indoor house photography. Heck, use it anyway you want and just buy insurance in case you drop it as it's a bit of a dime. Yes it's expensive but I'm going to be using it for years to come , it comes with a sweet leather bag and a Canon lens hood. L series is finally catching up on Nikon with the L series and this bad boy proves it. ## Features - High performance L-series ultra-wide-angle zoom lens with constant f/2.8 maximum aperture. - All-new optical design for significant improvements in outer and corner sharpness. - Sub wave length Coating (SWC) and Air Sphere Coating (ASC) help to significantly reduce flare and ghosting. - Highly resistant to dust and water intrusion, enabling shooting even in harsh conditions. - Circular aperture (9 blades) helps deliver beautiful, soft backgrounds.

For many years I thought I didn't need a 16-35mm, and only recently I started evaluating this glass. With the 11-24mm, the 35mm and the 24-70mm I initially believed there was no need for an additional lens in that range. Then I started comparing the 2.8 mark III vs the f 4.0, and eventually decided to go for the extra stops. Used it for the first time for an entire weekend and found it a perfect solution for what I frequent try do: landscape and urban exploration. While not an expert, I feel pictures are very sharp and the focal range covered is perfect for what I do, avoiding the extra complexity of the 11-24mm in terms of wait, size, lack of filter support and inevitable distortion in the foreground. While I will continue to use the 11-24mm in the foreseeable future, I have the impression this 16-35mm will become my preferred choice in many situations and circumstances. Super flexible, is an excellent compromise offering great quality at every focal length. So far, out of 440 shots, 156 at 30+mm, 140 <+200mm, 76 in the 26-28mm range and the rest distributed homogeneously. ## Frequently Bought Together - Canon EF 16–35mm f/2.8L III USM Lens, Black (0573C002) - Amazon Basics UV Protection Camera Lens Filter - 82mm - Amazon Basics Circular Polarizer Camera Lens Filter - 82 mm --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/34798435-canon-ef-16-35mm-f-2-8l-iii-usm-lens](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/34798435-canon-ef-16-35mm-f-2-8l-iii-usm-lens) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-05*
