    I love this lens! I am a wedding photographer, and this lens makes for some great shutter drag dance floor photos! It comes in handy for large group photos too.

    It has its place in the RF line up. I have used it for close up photography. I will be using it for more wide landscapes going into the spring. My expectations were moderated and I was not disappointed. Not recommended for portraits.

    Awesome pictures come out with this lens. However, one need software that can correct the lens angle. For example Canon DPP Express or Adobe software. One minor gripe with the non L lenses I have to buy lens hood from Amazon for it.

    I needed this lens to pair with my full frame camera as I have been getting out more this winter and will continue to do so as the spring and summer arrive. I have 2 of this lens, the other I keep with my crop sensor, and with the price, I figured why not buy the second so I didn’t have to move it between camera bags. Then, I have not had any real issues with vignetting, which I also like.

    Works perfectly with my EOSR for shooting video. It is a lightweight lens that works super great on a gimbal when doing video. OIS would be great, but you can't have everything at the price point.
