I have discovered a hidden gem in the canon EF lens lineup! The EF 28mm f/1.8 USM lens has never really received exceptional praise or glowing reviews. I honestly don't know why! On digital SLRs (namely full frame and 1.6x bodies) it's perfect for available light photography.
Pros:
- F/1.8 is a definitely bonus
- Fast AF
- Decent build quality
- Not too expensive
- Works on any EF-Mount camera
Cons:
- Could be a tad bit sharper wide open (fixable in post production however, Small amounts of CA can be seen at wide apertures (also correctable, Plastic vs
- metal construction (personal preference

Canon EF 28mm f/1.8 USM Lens Review
Canon EF 28mm f/1.8 USM is one of the two (the other one being EF 28mm f/2.8) 28mm lenses in Canon's modern lineup. The lens was introduced back in 1995, and currently remains the fastest consumer oriented (read non L) wide angle offered by the company.

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

Excellent Normal Lens for 1.6x crop DSLR
I bought this lens to go with my Canon 40D (1.6x crop). With 28mm focal length (equivalent to 50mm on full frame sensor), it had been served as my all-purpose lens since day one. Of course, 50mm f/1.4 on 5D are far better combination.
Pros:
- Lightweight
- fast/noiseless USM focus
- sharp comparing to zoom lens
Cons:
- Not sharp enough especially at f/1.8, has to use f/2.8 or above
- Wish it has larger aperture like the Sigma f/1.4

Canon EF 28mm f/1.8 USM Lens Review
The Canon EF 28mm f/1.8 USM Lens is currently Canon's fastest 28mm lens . And the only wider angle lens that is faster (wider aperture) is the Canon EF 24mm f/1.4L II USM Lens . My first thought upon removing the 28 f/1.8 from the box was that it was very similar to the Canon EF 20mm f/2.8 USM Lens...
