I thought I knew every Canon L series zoom lens from the last 20+ years but apparently I didn't. I've wanted to find a Canon L series zoom lens with an f/2.8 aperture for the last year, but have always been resigned to not being able to afford it since the Canon 16-35mm f/2.8L III USM is $2,199 brand new.

So why do I want an f/2.8 lens instead of my Canon 17-40mm f/4L USM lens? Because the two extra stops on the lens will give me much better depth of field as I vlog and make videos in my somewhat cramped studio.

That's really all it is.

And when I'm filming personal home movies and channel content, I'll be more able to handle low light situations. This is an excellent lens for vlogging because of its wide-angle, especially if you're filming with a camera like a Canon EOS R in 1080p - you've got a full frame sensor with a full frame lens!

I love my 17-40 f/4, but I'm going to love this new wide-angle zoom lens even more.

Watch to find out what lens it is!
