REVIEW: Canon EF 28mm f/1.8 USM Lens Review
Handling and features This classic wide angle prime from Canon provides a wide angle field of view, fast, silent focusing and a bright f/1.8 maximum aperture. With this lens costing around £380, could it be the perfect budget solution for hand held low light shooting?

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
