Solid basic lens, akward when used with polarizing filter
|
I purchased this lens after buying an EOS 30D body-only, and discovering that the 1.6 crop factor was far too severe for my shooting requirements and existing EF lenses. This lens was intended to be used as the equivalent of my old EF 28-105mm, and in wide angle, it does an extremely good job getting me just as wide as I'm used to going, plus just a bit more, even if I don't get quite the reach on the zoom end even after the 1.6 crop factor.
Intending to use it as a knock-around low-end lens, I bought mine used, and couldn't be happier with what I got for the price, and frankly was amazed at the sharpness and clarity and comparable quality of image I'm getting as compared to my more expensive EF lenses.
The only awkward thing about this lens is that the focal ring is on the outer edge of the lens. If you use a polarizing filter, where the orientation of the filter is critical, you'll find that the act of focusing will spin the filter along with the focal ring. There's not enough resistance on the focal ring to allow for filter adjustment after AF has been locked on target. In essence, this renders this lens incompatible for use with any sort of adjustable filter.
This is easily my lightest weight lens I now own. It feels like nothing at all at the end of my camera, which took some getting used to. Despite good performance, feels a bit like a toy, like something you'd expect to screw onto a Kiddie camera not a Canon.
This lens is plenty quiet and quick focusing for my needs although a quieter, faster fousing USM version is also available.
