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.

    The autofocus is really quick, does make some noise when adjusting but I’m ok with it.

    My favorite thing is the compatibility between EOS Rebel film cameras (like the G) and DSLR EOS Rebels. The EF mount comes in handy, especially for students that use both of the aforementioned cameras.
