Absolutely Fabulous
I mainly use this lens inside the studio, so I use studio lights to control the lighting of a subject. The higher the magnification, the more lighting is needed.
Amazing lens, amazing fun!
I got this lens a couple years ago and use it extensively.It is well constructed and easy to use with any Canon EOS body, though it must be focused manually.This is the only tool I know of that enables easy *field* photography above 2x magnification.I have stalked the tiniest insects and peered into the hearts of flowers with this astounding lens, and my transparencies are crisp and clean every time.It comes with a tripod ring (same one as several other Canon lenses use, just in black), which greatly aids switching to a vertical format without having to reposition everything.Read more

EF Macro Converter ROCKS
I am THRILLED with this lens's capabilities and the pictures it does. I test shot a corner of a window to determine if it would be good for my insect shots that I like so well.

Good lens but is it really worth $390?
I use this lens at work every day, and in general it's a very good lens. The optics are sharp, and the focus, athough not fast, is not something to complain about.
Great for travel
This is a wonderful lens.It is especially nice for travel photos in cities, indoors, and for some landscapes.You also need to get a hood because of the wide angle of view.In addition, you need a filter to protect the lens as well as function as a filter -haze or polarizer.The filter must be a special wide angle filter (thin metal ring) and you won't be able to attach the lens cap over the filter.Small price to pay, however. ...

If you can afford it, get it!
This is the most ecpensive, but most impressive lens I own. Produces amazing sports/nature shots. I could gush and gurgle about it all day, but the bottom line is if you want the long range lens to have this is it. Add the 2x converter and you have an 800mm lens. ... Read more

500/4 IS and Adorama
I've bought several lenses from Adorama, two of which include a new 300/2.8 IS and the other, this 500/4 IS. All of their deliveries were prompt and well packed. I have zero complaints with them. I dealt the John (Green, I think is his last name) via email. I highly recommend them.
Fantastic Lens
Let's face it.This is a great lens.
Bird Photography
After noting the captions of exceptional photographs that appeared in nature and photography magazines were often shot with this lens, I began to read the reviews.Based on the uniformly excellent reviews, I bought this lens and spent two weeks this January in the Florida Everglades taking pictures of birds.Based upon my experience with the lens, I would rate this as second in sharpness and contrast only to the 300 mm f2.8 Canon L series lens.The lens is handholdable for short periods to shoot birds in flight, but it is best suited for use on a solid tripod with a Wimberley tripod head to allow tracking of birds in flight. ...

Dramatic.
Do you ever find your pictures boring? If you do, get this lens, and your pictures will have a whole new dramatic look, becuase of its super wide angle. Another advantage is that a wider angle allows you to take pictures at a slower speed, good for darker occasions, because the shaking of hands would have a smaller effect. The third advantage is compared with most of the other Canon professional lens, this is very small, which makes it easier to use at public places where bigger lens means more attentions, and more attentions means less oppotunities. I didn't say anything about the lens's actual picture quality, because Look, this is a Canon Professional lens(the red ring at the top of the lens indicates professional, instead of regular yellow), there is no question about the quality of the pictures! ( And of course, though wide-angle, the pictures are not twisted at the corners at all.) It's the best you can get out of an SLR! But of course, good equipments is only half of good pictures, you will never be able to take good pictures even with the best lens if you don't learn and don't experience. Good Luck.And by the way, ... send me the lens promptly, no taxes, good price.

Wide Angle.
This lens is for Canon EOS cameras. EF 28-70mm F2.8, EF 70-200mm F2.8, and this lens--EF 17-35mm F2.8, together is one series of professional zooming lens. They all have the same diameter, 77mm. 17-35 is wide angle, 28-70 is midzoom, 70-200 is long distance. I have all of them, and use them on different occations with my EOS 3. All three lens have the same superb quality, but have different uses. If you have all of these three lens, you will be able to take almost any pictures you want, and all the pictures that you take would have a very professional look even if you are an amature, since a good photographer is made up with half the equipment, and half the person.

One of my most prized possessions

Product ordering, shipping an delivery.
The order was promply filled as promised and arrived a 3 days.The merchandise was new and in exdellent condition.I have not yet had time to use it seriously.

Works well for its design
True, this attachment blocks the pop-up flash of the s1-is, but I use an external strobe with a Wein photocell trigger on the bottom to compensate indoors.You can mount it on a bracket with the camera, or handhold the flash to avoid red-eye, bounce off the ceiling, or angle the light from the side.
not to be used with flash
Wide converter lenses normally make sense to be used indoors where space is limited. But the WC-DC52a can hardly be used there, because its big diameter results in a very big shadow on each flash-lighted foto (in addition the Powershot S1 IS doesn't support external flashlights).Read more

So-so performance from an (relatively) expensive lens
I've been playing with this lens attached to my EOS 400D for couple of weeks now and I'm affraid it's not living up to my expectations, or it's relatively high price. Out of all the third party contenders (Tamron, Sigma & Tokina), this one is the most expensive, about $100 more than Tokina, yet it has the most limited zoom range, but most importantly, it's way too soft. Maybe I just have a bad copy, but in that case, for the price the QC should be better. At 18mm, it's marginally better than the 18-55 Canon kit lens, but then again, I don't need it for 18mm. Color rendition is OK and with some post-processing it makes acceptable 8x10 prints, but I just can't get over the price difference, so I'm returning it and trying my luck with Tokina 12-24...

A Good Wide Angle Lens
This lens seems to perform well and I have attached it to a Rebel 350 XT. Pictures so far look great. Really wide angle, possibly more than I really need, but it's fun to have. I am sure that a Canon lens is better, but would cost 2 to 3 times as much. The only problem I have had so far is at the widest angle indoors, the lens will cause a shadow when you use the flash on the camera. ... Read more
