  • Conclusion: I've had this lens for several years. The images are soft at all apertures. There's a color cast. There's massive vignetting, though PIC removes it pretty well.
  • Cons: Semi-sharp images, color cast, intense vignetting

Not the best

  • Conclusion: Images have a purple cast and are a little soft at all apertures. Save your money until you can buy the 17-40 instead, you'll get sharper images.
  • Cons: Semi-sharp images, color cast

Great for outdoor and bright light, not so good inside

  • Summary: This lens is a bit soft wide open and distorts the image around the edges. Good for around $400 but I wouldn't pay much more than that.

  • Summary: The aperture and the price... It does not shoot like Canon lenses that have a 2.8 aperture... More like a fifty dollar knock off.. Pissed!

  • Summary: Reasonably sharp wide-angle lens. There is slight red-green fringing, similar to 15 mm fisheye. Purple fringing is absent.
  • Pros: reasonably sharp, usm focus, excellent build quality, accepts 72 mm filters
  • Cons: vignetting, some CA, soft at f2.8

  • Summary: A necessary addition to any arsenal. This lens gets the job done, unspectacularly perhaps, but it is a yeoman performer under all conditions.
  • Pros: Sharp at f5.6 to f8. Very contrasty lens.
  • Cons: Color rendition is somewhat cool. Contrast may be a bit much. Really soft wide open. Over priced by a long shot.

  • Excerpt: после юстировки фокусируется нормально но только если фокусировать по центральной точке, в центре резок края иногда мылит, в целом не плохое стекло для тех кому нужен
  • Pros: ширик, диафрагма 2.8? конструктив - внутренняя фокусировка, быстрая и бесшумная фокусировка, в любом режиме можно подкрутить фокус
  • Cons: при слабом освещение может долго ловить фокус, резок начиная с f/4 возможно только мой экземпляр
