    Fast and light weight. Sharpest hits a little bit off here and there. Plus have had two errors with this lens. But other then that have loved it.

    Great lens so far for a hobbyist like myself. Love the f2.8 and the 16mm focal length is great for the landscape shots I’m pursing.

    It’s a Canon lens so the build quality is good but that’s about where the goodness stops. It has horrendous distortion even stopped down, and the whole point of owning it is for wide open night shots at 2.8. There’s software and in camera distortion correction but neither works exceptionally well, and it’s an overwhelming disappointment that begs the question of why even bother if you’re going to produce something this bad.

    I purchased this lens to use with my Real Estate photography. It is a great buy for a low cost. I am able to get quality shots without massive distortion. I am glad I was able to get a good buy from Best Buy.

    Great lens for the price with some vignette issues. Bought it for 4k on the Canon R which has a crop, so after the crop the vignette is not an issue. For photos you can fix it in post.

    A very fun lens. maybe not the sharpest and it seems like it's optimized for APS-C cameras (works great in 4k crop mode on the EOS R and in Super 35 mode on the C70).
