Canon 17-40 with Kipon Adapter Footage

[Erik Naso]

This lens has been a favorite on my 5D but didn't think I would like it on the AF-100 since its kind of slow. The nice thing with the 17-40 is you can focus on a subject at about 12 inches when shooting @ 17mm and get a nice shallow DOF. I still need a wider lens and this is the widest I own. All shot at F4 with Kipon. Never used the iris since it vignettes before it iris's down. Bummer about F4 lenses with the Kipon adapter.

The Kipon is pretty disappointing. The 17-40 is a great lens. I just sold mine as I found a Tokina 16-50 f/2.8 EOS mount...which is nowhere near as sharp. Hang on to that 17-40, it's a great lens.
