Customers are saying

Customers are pleased with the excellent lens quality, sharpness, and overall performance of the product, often highlighting its ease of use and great value. They also appreciate its ability to create good background blur and depth of field, as well as its low weight. The primary concern, however, is that the auto-focus struggles in dimmer light conditions.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

    This lens may not be the first option for beginners. I’m still getting used to using it manually but the focal depth options are endless. Having lots of fun using this lens.

    For this price, this is the best lens you can get for any Canon DSLR. Excellent glass quality, and the upgraded focus is a huge improvement from the old version. Definitely a must have lens!
