I've owned a 17-40L lens for about a year now, but haven't used it much. Decided to try it out on my 1D2 today. I was a little surprised at how much distortion I'm seeing. Admittedly, I've only taken a few shots, mostly towards the wider end and hand held.
I didn't find any threads here about these lenses, so thought it might be worth starting one....if there are still any Canon DSLR owners here on GetDPI.
Here's one of the images I took today with the 17-40L, at 17mm. You can see quite a bit of distortion in the tug boats. I'm just wondering if this is typical of this lens at 17mm (which I know is quite wide). I've already applied "lens correction" to this image in CS5, using the 17-40L filter etc.
