Pros:
|
Nice maximum aperture, Very good sharpness wide open and excellent by f2.8, Small and lightweight, Fast and accurate AF, Minimum focusing distance a boon for up close and personal shots, Good price.
|
|
Cons:
|
Noisy "wasp in a matchbox" AF, Tends to hunt in low-light, MF ring very small, Build construction could be better, HOOD NOT INCLUDED (my gripe with Canon).

Pros:
|
Great price for 20mm wide and f1.8 speed, Very sharp from f2.5 (useable wide open), Very good colors and contrast, 8" minimum focusing distance a boon, Solid EX build, Grippy and wide MF ring with solid stops at each limit.
|
|
Cons:
|
No HSM, AF speed and noise are "okay", Dual-Focus clutch mechanism takes getting used to, Some may not like the 82mm size thread and overall bulk of lens, Shadow cast with hood on and internal flash (no problems with hood off or external flash).
