    I have been a Canon 7D owner for 3 years and I went in to buy the 5D Mark III, and my very well informed salesperson Andie recommended this lense. At first I thought it was just a sales pitch, but for the price, and for what it does....You can't loose!!! Awesome...

    This is a wonderful little lens. It's low-profile and light, so it's great for when you don't want to lug around a big heavy lens. The pictures it produces look wonderful and I personally like the 40mm focal length. It's a great value at the price point.

    I love this lens so much! I sold my 50mm and started using this alongside my 24mm prime, and my 70-200 2.8. As a sports and portrait photographer, It’s perfect for photoshoots, and even action shots within range. I love it.

    I feel that the lens was a great price. I also think that this item would be a great added bonus to your camera. If your serious about pics you need to have more lenses to capture the best moments. I have had the lens only a month and can not wait until spring where it can be used more

    I had the 50mm 2.8 and dropped it so I had to have a replacement. This is by far a much more versatile lense than the 50mm. It's about the same quality as the 50mm and works great with video, even on my 60d.
