great value, shallow dof, nice colors, light, very good optics

fragile, slow autofocus, gets dust easily

Well I recommend this lens to anyone (even being so fragile), because it is dirt cheap and can produce great pictures, with great colors
I regret selling it, what was the point anyways? heheh
being so light you barely notice it
Will be buying it again

Pros:
|
cheap option for uwa on crops, free hood and pouch
|
|
Cons:
|
strange distortion pattern, soft corners, non constant aperture, flare
|
|
|
Read many reviews before buying the lens, every one of them said there was not much difference from the canon 10-22, so I must say the latter is not so good
Well, it flares in a weird way, the aperture is not constant and distortion is kinda different, it is not really "barrel" distortion, but these problems did not really bother me so much, I could correct in post and flare only occasionaly was a problem, also the variable aperture is not such an issue for it is better stopped down anyways
The real disappointing aspect of this glass is sharpness (or lack of), especially around the corners
It is inferior in every way to a 18-55 for example, let alone a 24-105
Build quality is very nice, and on a tripod stopped down at night I got some nice shots, still I think it was not worth it

Pros:
|
sharp, great contrast, super fast
|
|
Cons:
|
makes you wonder why your other lenses are worth it
|
|
|
This is the best lens that I ever used, even the 35L can't surpass it in terms of sharpness and contrast, it is so sharp it hurts, its autofocus is hyper fast, beautiful colors
The real problem with it is that it was my first L, so the others that came after it failed to impress me for they cannot be compared to this beast of a lens
bought in Brazil, so more expensive
