Love the lens, great price. Love the portability for travel. The focusing speed is okay, but it is silent if you do video recording and rotating the focusing slowly. Sharpness appear to be decent, some light falloff but easily corrected in post processing. Can focus really close (30cm) for unusual effects.

This is a great lens for close up work. Took some amazingly sharp pictures of my dog using this on a Canon SL1.

I am in love! You really can't beat the quality of this lens for the price! It feels light but sturdy, easy to pop in your bag for a quick focal length change.

An excellent lens to have in your bag. So lightweight and makes carrying around my 5D Mark IV a breeze (while my 24-70mm weighs almost as much as the camera body itself). This lens is so fun to shot with and has a nice low profile that can be beneficial just from not looking so intimidating.

For an inexpensive lens you can carry in your pocket, this thing makes great sharp pictures. Also you won't get stares and gawkers the way you do with a large white L lens. Very stealthy for candids and street photography.
