highly recommended

Outstanding Lens!

This lens is optically as good as my L series lenses. The zoom range allows for some really great shots! I highly recommend this lens!!!

Excellent Wide Angle Zoom for Canon SLR

Cost for this lens was not that much more than 3rd party similar wide angle for Canon Digital SLR. This lens has similar specifications to the third party lens I also looked at but Canon quality and image resolution was far better. I can positively recommend this lens to Canon Digital SLR users.

Best Wide Angle Lens For the Price

Best Wide Angle Lens For the Price! Canon has made a great product and Amazon has the BEST price. I use this lens mostly for Real Estate pictures. It allows me to be in a tight space (like a Condo) and still get the whole room in the picture.[...].

Does exactly what it says on the box

If you are reading this review then you likely already know the pro's and cons of this lens. It's not compatible with the full frame bodies and as such if you have near term plans to upgrade to full frame any time soon then stop reading here and buy one of the L series wide angle lenses.

What this lens is:
This is a great ultra wide angle lens. Image quality is surprisingly solid and held up well against some expensive prime lenses.
It is light enough not to be a burden and the build quality while not on par with the L-Series lenses is solid enough.
This is the only real canon option for ultra wide angles on a 1.6 crop factor body.
From a range coverage point of view this is a good pair for the 24-70 which is my other every-trip lens.
Great indoor lens as well as landscape lens.
Lots of fun when experimenting with ultra-wide angles, especially with the close focus distance.

What this lens is not:
Some reviews say this is a great walk around lens. It is not! It is an ultra-wide angle lens and as such does not do well with portrait shots, unless you have a large group or are looking for a portrait with a large amount of (in focus) background.
Once you get to the 4.5 stop, low light indoor shots become trickier, this isn't a fast lens.

What you should know:
I bought a standard tiffen UV filter and didn't see noticeable vignetting. Initially I tried the wide angle filter but the lens cap won't stay on. If you do buy a wide angle filter ensure it comes with a sleeve style cap.
The lens doesn't ship with a hood or case. I purchased the Lowepro Lens Case 1 which fits this lens well (though not with the hood). The canon hood seems to help and is not too expensive.

This is an expensive lens, but I certainly don't regret the purchase and have captured some landscape and outdoor photos which I couldn't have come close to without such a wide angle. If it was full frame compatible then I would give it 5 stars.
