A great lens, not sure what I received was a new lens.

The only problem was the box was beat up and the lenses was very dirty on both sides, there were no visible scratches but I got the feeling that the lens was used. No damage but if you spend $500. On a lens I would expect to get it in better condition.

This has quickly become my favorite walk around lens. I have 2 crop bodies (T1i and 50D) and this lens is equivalent to a "normal" 50mm lens on a full frame body. I shoot in a photojournalist style and this lens matches my style perfectly. Its fast aperture make it great indoors and out,...

Canon EF 28mm f/1.8 USM

Honestly, I think this lens has an undeservedly bad reputation among "technical" reviewers on the internet. I'm sure it sucks at shooting test charts wide open. I don't shoot test charts - I shoot people indoors (groups, activity-based portraits, etc) with this lens on an original 5D with wide...
Pros:
  • Small
  • great build
  • very sharp away from extreme corners
Cons:
  • slightly soft wide open - clears up by f/2.2
  • hood not included

Wide angle goodness

I got this lens for my 7D to effectively work as a 50mm. Love it and would definitely recommend for anyone with a cropped sensor who is after a fast prime lens. It's great having the ability to go to f1.8 but most of the time it's too quick and I have trouble setting focus on what I want...
Pros:
  • Reliable
  • Durable

Picture taker

Their is a little noticeable barreling around the sides, so be careful if straight lines are important. (As with all wide-angle lenses) Good balance, good size.
Pros:
  • Purchased this lens for my Rebel XSi
  • With the XSi all lenses have a 1.6 multiplying factor, so it looks like a 50mm on a film XLR
  • I wanted something fast for indoor photos without a flash
  • Focus is critical
  • Good color and detail when you set up the photo correctly.
Cons:
  • You have to force this lens f-stop down to get good depth of field
  • Some like the 'bokeh', I don't
  • I go for f10-14 on a tripod and I am happy

Let there be light

This lens is exactly what I hoped it would be: light, light, light. The 1.8 F-stop is simply amazing in low light. I took architectural photos at night; some of the shots were poorly lit by someone else and some were in nothing but half-moonlight. This lens picked up all the details like a champ.

Awesome! My new favourite!

I got exactly what i wanted when i bought this EF Lens. I had read some bad reviews about the lens, but I just think it's just a matter of taste. It's not the best lens in the world, but I like it! It's cheap (for a lens), it's small and it's great in dark conditions.

Canon lens

It is wide enough for the Grand Canyon, but not too wide (or fish eye). It is quiet, and worked well shooting Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin West a week ago.
