Canon EF 16-35mm f2.8 L II, is the second generation wide angle zoom lens of the remarkable canon 16-35mm family. As a classic DSLR lens, this lens will deliver sharpest image at small aperture like f11 or f13, also the bokeh is nice when you try to shoot some portrait at 35mm. The edge image quality is the obvious weakness of this lens, however, there are very little other disadvantages we can found. This lens has decent sunstar start from aperture f4.0 due the asymmetry nature, which is the main difference between f2.8 L II and the f2.8 L III. Other Canon wide angle lens like EF 16-35mm f4 IS or RF 15-35mm f2.8 also don’t have this asymmetry sunstar nature, which make this f2.8 L II lens the most unique and most recognizable landscape lens. In conclusion, the EF 16-35mm f2.8 L II is undoubtedly the KING for the sunstar and landscape photography.
