I bought this to have a little more width than my beloved 35MM. It holds its own. Last week I did a shoot using it and it alone. I was not disappointed! It delivered! Crisp clear color. Bokeh looks great!
Just like brand new. Performs as well as my 35. I would not trade it for a new one. Colors are vivid and focus is crisp. I liked it so much I ordered an 85 to complete my prime line up!
on apsc its like 38mm full frame equivalent my fav focal length (around 35m) with is and macro capability I use it more im video the 38mm on my r7 is perfect
I bought this lens and after using it for two days of photography, I have to say that I’m impressed. The view angle is wide enough for a good wide angle shot but not so wide that I can see my shoes when pointing straight ahead. The images are impressively crisp and detailed for the price.
After two days of shooting with this lens, I have to admit that I’m impressed with the image quality. Pictures are clear and sharp. The lens is wide enough to get a good wide angle shot but not so wide that I can see my shoes when pointing the lens straight ahead.
Lens was received in excellent condition - could not tell that it was not new.
This is the first lens I bought with my R8 and I couldn’t be happier with it. It’s very bright and crisp, and the close zooming is impressive!
Purchased this lens for low-light general photo and video on my R7 (where it acts as a 38.4mm full frame equivalent), and it has certainly delivered for that purpose. The weak corners are cropped out on APS-C, leaving behind sharp and colorful imagery throughout. It's quite silent for video work too, perhaps due to the "Slow Focus Transition" setting. The image quality is even great wide open at f/1.8, however I've found the chromatic aberration at this aperture can ruin certain high-contrast scenes (such as snowscapes with dark tree trunks) despite not being overly visible on the LCD/EVF. Stop down to f/2.8 or darker in such scenarios. Unfortunately, I found it awkward to use for macro thanks to the focus breathing, which is a shame as the colors and sharpness are great. The moving focal element can be awkward too, and feels fragile even if it isn't particularly. The lack of an included hood it very petty on Canon's part. For $300 during a refurbished sale, this lens was well worth the money, especially for a crop camera. As a bonus it looks quite nice aesthetically mounted on the R7 too.
