The Canon EF 28mm f/2.8 IS USM is a capable but pricey wide-angle prime that will appeal most to landscape and reportage photographers looking for a small, lightweight and responsive lens.

One can say that a 28mm lens is too narrow, especially for a APS-C camera but I love it.

It's a wonderful product. Note – the Image stabiliser is amazing allowing you to shoot photos at speeds that are 4 stops lower. For example at 1/40 your photo would still be sharp.

My recently aquired full-frame Canon 5D became an expensive Lady. But not unwanted. My 11-16 Tokina EF, at 15 "looks like" 11 does on my Rebel. That lens has been my prime one. I also wanted a not-so wide angle lens.

I love this lens, especially for the money. I'm an intermediate level, and now have several L lenses in my pack. Don't be deterred this is not an L series. It's a steal piece of glass at this price point. It's quiet, IS is very effective, AF fairly quick.

It is an excellent lens. I have a canon 35 mm1.4L which gives excellent images but at 62 my hands are not very steady at times so I was using tripod mostly for it. As this one has image stabilizer I am able to take very good pictures especially while chasing my Labrador at play.

Pros: Very god pictures Cons: a little pricey Other thoughts:

Ich bin absolut zufrieden mit diesem Objektiv. Es hat eine tolle Abbildungsleistung und liefert gestochen scharfe Bilder. Auch die Verarbeitung ist auf h?chstem Niveau. Und die kompakt Bauweise überzeugt.

IS is so helpful.

I bought this lens to use as a prime on my APS-C Canon and I was blown away by the sharpness of the images. Having never owned a prime before the lack of zoom was a minor annoyance at first, but I quickly got used to it. Cannot recommend this lens enough.
