Bought these as a gift. Wide angle lens not as wide as I would have liked.

I haven't used the wide angle lens but am thrilled with the macro.

It’s way better than what I was expecting. I particularly liked the wide angle lens.

I needed a wide angle lens for my full frame Canon DSLR. As expected, I found it to be as advertised and I am very satisfied with it. I would recommend it.

Love the wide angle lens. Capture more of the video

The 17-40 gets mixed reviews for the most part mainly due to poor corner and edge resolution wide open. I use this on the 5D Mark III, a full frame sensor that will show these soft edges much more than a crop sensor such as any rebel, 7D, 60D, etc... Even then, I find the edge performance really quite good once you stop the lens down. Central sharpness is very, very good at 17mm and 40mm wide open. Stopped down to f/8 or f/11 will greatly increase sharpness in the edges and corners of the frame. But the lens is plenty sharp, no worries here. I use some of Canon's sharpest offerings such as the 24-70 f/2.8 II, 70-200 II, 135L, 400L, etc... This lens is just as good... Sure, it has some flaws, but the pros greatly outweigh those soft edges wide open.To me, this really is a full-frame lens where you can really utilize that great 17mm perspective. I think there are better options for those shooting with the 1.6x APS-C sensors. But that really is really up to the users and the needs they have. My girlfriend often borrows this lens to use with her T2i and loves it (I think the images look fantastic, as well!).One thing I love most about this lens is the contrast and color rendition. Simply beautiful images straight out of camera. The build quality is top notch as well, the zoom and focus rings are very smooth and well damped. The lens is weather sealed, but does require a filter (per-Canon) to complete the sealing.I give this lens 5/5 stars, simply due to its extremely affordable price (for an L lens) and excellent performance. Sure, there are sharper lenses out there, but that does not hinder this one at all. It still performs great and is a blast to use for dramatic perspectives. One of the most fun lenses to mount to the camera IMO. The light weight, great build quality and very good IQ make this a winner and a spot in my collection.

You will not find a better made or better performing lens for the price. I find it to narrow on full-frame for an all purpose lens, but there are a ton of people who disagree. It works great as a portrait lens on ef-s mount bodies. Really sharp, nice bokeh, decent build quality and autofocus. Couldn't ask for more for the price. The only other lens Canon makes that's better in the price range is the 22mm, but that's eos-m mount. I've heard good things about the 24mm f/2.8 though.

There's unavoidable vignetting on every shot with the wide angle - with or without the case. Also, only the center of the photo is 100% in focus. Things get gradually more blurry the farther out from center of frame.This may be an issue with the pixel 6 but I also tried it with a 3xl. Could just be the way gcam takes pictures but I can't be sure without testing it on another brand of smartphone.Other than that though, it's a solid lens and I'm happy! Wish it came with a telephoto and ultrawide angle/fisheye lens as all these "non-moment" clip-on lenses do. I'd say buy this AND another one of those third party kits that comes with all the extras. I have a feeling the quality is pretty similar between all of these manufacturers.If all you want is a wide-angle and a macro though, at $45 this kit is a sure bet. It doesn't get much better than this without spending a butt-load more money. The next upgrade is the $120 Sirui kit that comes with 2 extra lenses plus a better system for switching them - but again that's almost 3x the price.
