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.

    Got this lens to have a closer field of view and for that it does perfectly, however due to that, you really need to position your self in the shot you want to take as you can't zoom in or out with it like with the base lens. Still, I have no complaints, it sure helps keep the DSLR lighter and more portable too!

    This is hands down the best value lens Canon makes. No question this should be your first lens after using your kit lens.
