Not the sharpest lens but it works for my needs. Use it on a tripod for landscape and it will do well. It is not a super fast lens. Dont purchase thinking that since it is an L glass your photos will be fantastic. It is a lower end L. If you cant take great shots, this lens will not change that. It is a solid L glass entry lens. It is a better lens than a basic kit lens. I have taken some very nice landscapes with it but I knew its limitations.

This lens was purchased for landscape photography and when I shoot landscape, I use a tripod, a remote and mirror lock up. Im probably missing something, but for the most part, I do everything possible to get the sharpest image. Whelp, as Ive grown with my photography and PS skills, I look at images closer these days and I noticed that the focus was just ever so slightly off. After doing some research, its known that every lens and camera combination can be slightly different, which makes sense because no two copies are identical. This being said, with most of the new DSLRs such as the Canon 7D and greater, you can fine tune the focus for each lens, using the in camera fine tune adjustment feature. This means you can fine tune each lens and when you put that lens on the camera, the camera recognizes the lens (reading the metadata) and makes the necessary adjustment that you have pre determined. By doing this you can get even sharper shots! But it took me some serious time to get it all dialed in correctly. Aka, lots of trial and error. Yes, you can do this at home on your own, or... if you want someone to do it for you, you can send your camera and lens into Advance Camera Repair and theyll fine tune your lens to your specific camera for $28. I highly recommend this lens and feel that its the best option, assuming you dont need that extra 1 stop of light the 16-35mm provides (@ 2x the price!).

For an L-series lens, Im surprised that this lens isnt sharper, but its also one of the least expensive L-series lenses. Construction quality is on a par with other L lenses Ive owned/used. Its a very capable landscape lens on my 6D, but it isnt quite as crisp as a 24-105mm L that I used to have, even in the F/7.1 - f/9 "sweet spot." If youre not pixel-peeping on-screen at the computer, you may or may not notice it, and a little sharpening before printing yields very good prints. At this price, this lens is worth having if you need this range, but dont be afraid to consider other options if the image quality is the same at a lower price. And if you have money to burn, definitely look at the more expensive L lenses.
