IS and good feeling lens on a 20d
|
|
Cons:

So So color/contrast. Lame barrel distortion at 17mm. This could be a good thing though. No lens hood or pouch. F isn’t the same through the entire focus range. Too much $

Example of the barrel distortion at 17mm.
I traded it in.

So awesome..haha.. This is the fastest lens I own. It kicks major booty in almost any setting. I rarely have to add USM or any other color changes in CS2. Awesome fresh out of the cam. I love the moveable tri ring, it really helps with some of the weight issues. Built like a tank...
I have superman size arms now from lugging it around.

Pros:

Awesome sharp images fresh out of the camera. This thing really shines with the canon ring flash. Great for insects, flowers and any macro work.
It works pretty good as a portrait lens too.

Cons:
|
Horrible AF speed. Hunts like crazy in low light. No lens hood.

I shot the whole series with the nifty 50.
I think its a great starter prime for sure.

Cons:

I think I might have had a bad product. It was very slow to focus. When I switched it to servo, it would make a clanking type sound. I could actually feel the movement of the lens. So So soft at 1.4. It really started to rock around 1.8. I traded this lens in and got a 35 1.4L. I would think about getting another one some day.
