    Went back and forth before buying it, but don't regret it. It definitely makes my canon dslr camera a lot lighter. Takes great portrait pics.

    Wonderful camera. Read many reviews before pulling the trigger. Super sharp photos (best at 7.1 aperture) but quality falls up at higher numbers.

    I have been looking at this lens for sometime and once I saw it went on sale for $149.99 I had to jump on it. Was so worth it though, makes carrying your camera so much easier!

    one of the best lens for money!!! compare to 50mm 1.4 not a bad quality lens!!! AF is very quiet and great built quality with metal plate. however, AF can be off sometime but no so bad. looks bit ridiculously small but takes good images. great lens for street shots without stressing your muscle carrying heavy lens.

    I use it with Canon 6D Mk.II and very happy with the lens. It's light, compact and sharp. Highly recommended for full frame Canon bodies.
