I really love this lens, I have not fully been able to utilize it in many various situations yet but so far I can tell its a great lens and I think its one of my new favorites.

The widest aperture Canon lens with image stabilisation makes this a very tempting design - and almost all reviews I've seen are good or very good. Given its lightweight construction, it feel solid; the IS is excellent, allowing shots of half a second or longer.

Great Features; Great Picture Quality; Lightweight

No Hood Included

Nice lens very sharp works great on my Canon 7d mark 2 gives me about 56 mm have tryed it out in many situations very pleased with it .

This is my go-to lens when I want high IQ in every situation and to travel light. It is good focal length in cropped sensor cameras and wide in full frame.

After I got the 14mm L 2.8 (worst deal ever) I do my research before buying a canon lens. Specially an L series.This is a great lense for Group Shots. Unlike the 24-70 L 2.8 version I, this lens is sharp sharp almost corner to corner.

Consistent Output; Full Frame Sharp; Lightweight; Sharp; Silent Fast Focus

It Could Be 13 Cheaper; It Could Be 200 Cheaper; It Could Be 30 Cheaper

very sharp. even sharper than sigma 35mm 1.4 lens. IS system is very useful for hand-on. A++

I purchased this lens after debating a bit on whether to get the Sigma 35/1.4. Given all the uncertainty about focusing issues with the Siggy, as well as the stellar reviews for the Canon 35/2 IS, I chose the Canon. It has proved to be a very good decision for me.

Very fast; Very sharp; Great IS

Awesome lens, very good IQ

This lens is superb. Very much an overlooked hidden gem in the canon range. The lens is pin sharp across the apertures and image stabilisation too.. what's not to love.. if you're in two minds how this can be so cheap just grab it. You won't be disappointed

The lense is responsive and has a wide aperture! Works really great in portrait mode. It was purchased as a gift for my boyfriend, who is a photographer.

Really great on portrait mode; and grear for taking pictures in the dark

Kinda noisy
