Pros: Handyman; practical; Lightweight; Quality lenses for decent photos (all in all); Plastic construction, but of good workmanship; Stabilized; Fast focus

Cons: If it had been tropicalized

Opinion: I keep it installed perpetually on a 7D, having 28.8-216mm available, and an overall human weight. The quality is not from the L series, but if you are looking for comfort, lightness and speed of focus, and a quality of dignified image, as an everyday lens is fine. A practical lens for everyday reportage, even at a professional level, thanks to the wide focal range and the speed of focus. Even if it is not a series L my vote is 9, if it had been tropicalized I would have given 10

Pros: excellent handyman, you leave it attached to the SLR and you forget for years to change optics, especially if you use the camera for walks with friends, successful stabilizer, sharp in the norm .. but closed by one or two stops is better .

Cons: stabilizer stopped after 1 second from the maf, typical of economic objectives,if you shoot suddenly the stabilizer does more damage than well .. sharpness and focus go hand in hand.. often from experience who complains about the quality of the photos is because he does not notice that the photo is blurry .. the old camera bodies like 60D, 7D mk1 and company of those dark years do not know how to exploit it well .. in fact it is the best of itself with camera bodies from the 70D onwards and with the new sensors af .. maybe also because of the stm engine.. I for example with the 7D every now and then we quarrel .. but when I use it with the 80D it changes the world.. the old version not stm was more precise with the old camera bodies.. remember if you are looking for optics only for photos and not for videos .. otherwise make the jump to the usm version ...

Opinion: I paid him 100 euros for a 7D on which to glue it paid just as much .. it is very ergonomic with the 7D.. it works quietly and if you know how to get around its few limits considering the cost of used you have a lot of fun .. I leave it attached on the 7D since I bought it .. and I don't want anything else.. at least for my Sunday outings and walks.. remember that with special adapter can be used in a complete way on the M ..

Pros: stabilization, robustness, resistance to dust and sand despite not being tropicalized, sharpness

Cons: heavy, lacks a lampshed combined with the lens directly from canon

Opinion: I have been using this lens for two years and it has never disappointed me, when looking for sharpness you always find it (but it is not a fixed 50mm anyway), it covers the vast majority of photographic situations so it is a lens to always keep at hand. the only flaw - which is actually a mere compromise - is that it excels in nothing. completely satisfied

Pros: Honest objective, highly sharp considering the price, metal bayonet, IS.

Cons: A lot of plastic, you could have done better! The lampshed is missing!

Opinion: I took it a year ago used by RCE of Padua for my daughter, at school (Liceo Artistico) she needed a camera and I did not want to spend so much money, so I supported her old and glorious Eos 7D, now in disuse for many years, is a handyman's goal, with all the consequent limits, she does her job honestly to be an economic optics! Great lens to start photographing, but there's better.

Pros: Honest handyman

Cons: None for its construction

Opinion: I use it on a 7D, it's appreciable. Let's start with the concept that it is not a top of the range but it is designed to make the lens all-rounder and performs the job well. I also used it in low light conditions and found well-defined images up to its limit : obviously not a f 2.8 . To search for depth of field in valid light frames f 9 ; 10 and 11. Color yield and good focus.
