Canon EF 28 mm f/1.8 USM

One of the oldest lenses in the Canon's current line-up is an EF 28 mm f/1.8 USM model, as it was launched on the market in September 1995. Why the company doesn't see any need to introduce its successor
Pros:
  • good build quality
  • very good image quality in the frame centre (apart from the maximum aperture)
  • slight distortion
  • low level of vignetting on APS-C
  • silent and quick autofocus
Cons:
  • weak image quality at the maximum relative aperture
  • low resolution at the frame edge of an APS-C and full frame sensor alike
  • quite significant chromatic aberration
  • huge coma
  • unsatisfactory accuracy of the focusing mechanism

Canon EF 28mm f/1.8 USM review by DanSlr

I recently got this after thinking about buying it for at least one year. After reading the reviews I decided to go for this one instead of the Sigma 30mm F1.4. This lens have been "glued" to my Canon 7D after I got it. The feel and "fun factor" of this lens is huge.
Pros:
  • "Normal view" for a APS-C camera
  • sharp
  • excellent bokeh
  • lightweight compared to zoom lenses
  • excellent built
  • great film lens
Cons:
  • Some "travelling" of the auto focus
  • difficult to focus in low light
