  • There's a lot of excitement building about this tiny prime lens for Canon APS-C cameras. It looks like tonnes of fun! Is the image quality going to convince people that's it's as sharp as it is convenient?

    This lens is VERY rugged. I have used it for the last 3 years hiking the desert and mountains surrounding Phoenix Arizona, with no issues. I have dropped the SL1 it is attached to, thrown it in the back of a Subaru, and at a wide range of temperature extremes. All with flawless photos.

    Another wonderful review. I love the format and formula you use, and how it's the same in every video. It helps that you take nice pics and seem to have a good idea of how it all works. So many reviews miss important things out, but you do a great job every time.

    A review very well done, CF. Thank you for that.
    I'm a big fan of pancakes. They help in making the leap in taking your gears out for a shoot on any day. Perfect for travels. I would say, 80% of the market out there are photo enthusiasts and do not need the higher cost, higher performance lenses. The pancakes would do most of the job. It's always better to work within your constraints than to focus on the have-nots in your gears.

    I just got this lens today and tested it. It is sharp, good focusing and makes my 1200D more portable. Its AF is not noisy. At least not on my copy. the chromatic abberation and vignetting are gone with two mouse clicks in Lightroom. It is not as sharp as the Sigma 17-50 F2.8 but still very nice indeed. Greetings from the Netherlands and keep up the nice work. Its very helpful.

    Fantastic lens for its price. Its size will make it fit into any bag for on the go. Also you can do some decent macro shots with it. If you use any of the EOS R models with an ef adapter you can even use it for full frame without a Problem.
    Definitely a no brainer to pick this one up.

  • @thomassantomartino7337
    @thomassantomartino7337 9 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I bought this lens and got it as soon as it was released for my Canon t3i and agree with everything you said. It allows me to take pictures of subjects closer to me better than my plastic fantastic 50mm lens does, and it doesn't distort people enough to make it undesirable for that purpose. I got some pretty Bokeh with it when photographing things close up.

    Excellent review.
    This lens is now on my shopping list as I have an APS-C camera -Canon 70D- and when using my 50mm sometimes I have to get far away from certain subjects.
    I´m looking for a lens that is sharper than the 18-135mm kit lens, lighter in weight, affordable and that is as close as a 35mm on a Full Frame Camera.
    This one seems like a winner!
    Thanks Christopher.

    I picked up one of these during a summer sale, simply couldn’t refuse a 35% discount. I wasn’t sure about how I’d use this lens, as I generally walk around with the EF-S 18-200 or the EF 35mm IS USM, so it sat in my bag for about a month. Then we went on a family vacation, and I decided to give it a proper try.
    This lens is probably the best daytime street/vacation lens I’ve ever tried, always extremely sharp, useful field of view, quick and quiet AF, small and light, and has nice bokeh if you decide to go really close for a macro shot. If your camera body has digital IS, it can be used for video too. The only real weakness of this lens is that it lacks built in image stabilising, and this, combined with the f2.8 maximum aperture, will make it quite challanging to take handheld pictures after sunset.
    Absolutely lovely lens for the price, especially if one can catch a nice discount.
