    Great budget lens. Good focusing speed but slightly fidgety when dialing in the details on manual. Photography is just one of my hobbies (far from a pro) and this price point over performance is just perfect for me. I would have given this 5 stars but Canon’s decision of using a plastic, instead of metal, mount is kind of a let down and detracts for the usual Canon quality feel. Id say this is a perfect intermediate lens for hobbyists and students.
