    Excellent lens for a fifth of the price of the RF 1.2 L lens. I’d give it five stars, but it’s not weather sealed.

    Called local phone# but never told it a call center. Foreign person whom kept cutting out. Told only one left but lie. Had horrible experience in trying to pay with credit card. Told would be at local store but went on date but had to go back 3 different days.. Told truck broke down, told back ordered, told delivery not on truck. Poor service. Never have items in stock. Probably my last time buying from Best Buy.

    Bought this on the advice of an associate. It does not fit the Rebel T7. Not a big deal I exchanged for the correct lense however had to pay the 15% restock fee Which seems wrong.
