I bought this lens to use on rebel xt since I liked 35 mm on film. The lens is very sharp and looked elegant.

With a cost v. Need analysis this lens is exactly what it should be.

this little guy is great, very sharp. be careful shooting into the sun though, there is a fair bit of lens flare. the lens hood is a must, but if you have a crop sensor camera, you can really benefit from better coverage- the hood for the efs 55-250 kinda fits on the mount, and wont crop the image at all on my 550d/t2i.

auto-focus is quite good but not USM speed. build quality is significantly better than the 50mm 1.8.

i dont even use my 18-55 anymore unless i really need to get a bit wider, primes are the way to go-

Again I thank B&H for the quick shipment. Very light and sharp. I needed a prime lens for wide shots on my film shoots. You just have to use this lens to see it for yourself. Worth the money.

Exactly what I was looking for. I needed a lens for architecture photography and for small ambients. Very nice image.

I've been using this as an inexpensive "walking around landscape" prime for my EOS 20D and 7D. 24mm is roughly equivalent to a 40mm lens on a full-sensor DSLR or film camera - so it's a bit wider than a standard "normal" lens, even on a crop sensor.

With a minimum focus just shy of a foot, this lens is actually a decent performer as a closeup lens though the bokeh is a trifle busy.

Generally the EF 24mm f/2.8 is very sharp in the middle. Perhaps somewhat soft on the corners but nothing to complain about considering the great price. (Stopping down to 4 - 5.6 fixes the corner sharpness issue almost completely!) Chromatic aberration and vignetting are handled very well on this lens, especially when used wide open.

One reason I think it's so cheap is the lack of USM focus but, truth be told, I was actually surprised how good AF was, especially compared to my other cheap prime, the 50mm f/1.8. Be warned though, it will still "hunt" quite a bit in poor light.

Though it's an older design and a bit "plasticy", feeling, the glass is good and, as mentioned before, I think the price is great for what you get.

Comments about Canon Wide Angle EF 24mm f/2.8 Autofocus Lens:

+ Small size
+ Very good quality even at full aperture
+ Nice bokeh
+ Light
+ Cheap

- Made of plastic...

I usually work with a 50mm f/1.4 USM, but the 24mm f/2.8 is just what I needed for wide angles at full aperture !

Already recommended to many friends.

very nice for scenic photos

Comments about Canon Wide Angle EF 24mm f/2.8 Autofocus Lens:

It's an excellent portrait lens (for large groups). 24mm is about the max you want to go, otherwise you get other issues. What I really wanted was the red line 1.4, but for the chosen purpose, this one works well for the price.

Comments about Canon Wide Angle EF 24mm f/2.8 Autofocus Lens:

I use it for photographing events, street photography, and photojournalism.

Comments about Canon Wide Angle EF 24mm f/2.8 Autofocus Lens:

A stunning quality lens, very sharp

Scenics and architecture

Comments about Canon Wide Angle EF 24mm f/2.8 Autofocus Lens:

All of my other lenses are L. I needed a wide angle and didn't want to spend the L price at the moment so I decided to try out this one. It's build is much like a kit lens. Plastic, loud, lightweight. The lightweight part is pretty nice :) It vignettes quite a bit wide open. Strangely, LR doesn't have a lens correction preset for this model lens. It's easy to fix though. If I didn't know an L lens brings to the table I would most likely LOVE this lens. But for me, for now, it's worth the money and doing the job.

Comments about Canon Wide Angle EF 24mm f/2.8 Autofocus Lens:

Bought this lens mainly for landscapes, but have found it a good general use lens. A nice lens for my Rebel.

Like the sharpness/clarity and value.

No complaints.

Comments about Canon Wide Angle EF 24mm f/2.8 Autofocus Lens:

This is only the second lens I have purchased. SInce my budget is tight, I wanted to try out several different options before making my decision about which wide angle lens I wanted to purchase. I rented the 35 mm and the 28 mm and liked them both, but they weren't quite as wide as I wanted. I tried the 24 mm 1.4 at a workshop and loved it! This one, however, was more in my price range at the moment. I love what this lens can do. It is definitely a good value for your money.

Great lens for landscapes. Beautiful pics.

Comments about Canon Wide Angle EF 24mm f/2.8 Autofocus Lens:

I'm a videographer and I primarily film weddings. The sharpness wide open (2.8) is great. Distortion is minimal in corners. Body is very crapy, but I'm downgrading my stars because the price is way to good. I use this lens maybe 5% of the time so my life does not depend on it, but when I need it, it works like a charm every time. Just buy it and never look back. Think of an L price ($1,700) and this lens will put a smile on your face every time you reach for it.
