    Great lens. Really no qualms whatsoever about this product. I’m miffed that I can’t use my other Canon lenses that I invested in - especially when other cameras in this current generation still support them, but those are the breaks I guess

    Great quality lens but with limited range: I couldn’t get nice close-ups and no this is not a wide angle lens!

    Good lens for the most part but it is for more up close photography because it gives a zoomed in angle.

    A very basic prime lens. Cost wise it is the least expensive of Canon's RF lens. Give reasonably good results.

    I am also the one on that boat. For $200, we probably deserve more on this lens since unlike its 35mm/85mm version, it doesn't have a stablization. This lens is actually very similar to its EF STM version but sell at much higher price. The biggest problem on its optical performance is the huge chromatic dispersion in the photo. Sometimes it's impossible to remove it with PS which is such a pain.

    A great lens at a fantastic price! It works perfectly on my canon r6 and I have no issues with focus or anything. Since purchasing it, it hasn’t come off my camera. I wish canon would sell more prime RF lens like this.
