Recommend? yes |
Price paid: $1,800.00
| Rating: 10
|
|
Pros:
|
Sharpness (edge to edge!), Contrast, Close focus (9"), Build Quality
|
|
Cons:
|
Expensive, Large, Some Vignetting (but that's to be expected at this focal length)
|
|
|
Simply put, probably the best 21mm lens ever made. It puts any other lens I've tested in this range to shame. Sure, it's pricey, but in this case you get what you pay for!
I would say don't bother with this lens unless you're shooting FF and can take full advantage of the edge-to-edge quality.

|
Pros:
|
Image quality, build quality, price point, features, relatively bright viewfinder, 9 frame buffer.
|
|
Cons:
|
1.6x crop, small viewfinder, RAW conversion software (FVU).
|
|
|
Simply an excellent product from Canon.
If you do plan on purchasing this camera, you should seriously consider purchasing a RAW conversion package like Capture One LE or use dcraw with Fred's linear action. The Canon RAW converter (FVU) simply does not cut it.
