Canon 20-35mm f3.5-4.5 USM

Test Results

Full Aperture Sharpness in the center of the frame at at all focal lengths is good to very good, but corners are slightly soft, pretty much as you would expect. Although best in the center at 35mm, and worst in the corner at the same focal length, the overall character of the results is fairly even. Slightly soft overall especially at the edges, with slight distortion in the corner at 20mm. With a super wide zoom like the Canon 20-35 3.5-4.5 slight is a good word to hear.

Tested with a Canon EOS 20D
