    Got this for my husband and he's been really happy using it with his Canon D80, he says it's doing good to focus on his subject. Definitely recommends this to other photographers as well.

    The electronic focus is kind of slow and lags. It is what it is.

    I haven't used this a lot yet but comparing it to the 24mm I just picked up it is definitely worth the money. Also I am trying just to start buying ef lenses instead of ef-s ones.

    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.
