Pros: Sharp, IS is very good, close focus 24cm, quiet USM focus

Cons: Bright points of light show slight coma at image corners, a bit expensive.

Opinion: I use this lens on a 600D crop frame camera so it is 56mm to me. This lens takes very sharp images even at f2. The 8 point sun stars it produces look great. The IS has allowed me to take sharp images hand held down to 0.8sec. Although it is a lot quieter to focus than the smaller 35mm f2 the USM motor still can be heard when focusing. This is a great street photography lens.

Pros: all

Cons: nothing in my opinion

Opinion: The best lens in my backpack. I used to use it on APS-C and now on 6D and I have always had a lot of satisfaction in both cases. On the FF gives, in my opinion, the best of itself because it is really wide, bright, very sharp. I use it for travel and trekking, it is not heavy and with the 6D it balances perfectly. The construction is solid and the AF is definitely fast enough. The blur is very pleasant and with a nice sharp contrast.

Pros: sharpness, color rendering, weight, stabilization

Cons: not tropicalized

Opinion: I use it mainly for reportage \\ street and as a handyman in trips a little adventurous. For me it is the ideal travel lens because in addition to being excellent as a photographic yield it is light and discreet, it allows you to shoot even prticamente in the dark and in my opinion it makes a lot in portraits set. With the 5d was a perfect match, with the R a little less because of the adapter that makes everything a little more bulky

Pros: colors, compactness, IS, construction, aperture, sharpness

Cons: sharpness

Opinion: I used the lens for about a year and ONLY for video, mounted on a Canon C100 Mark II. The colors are those typical of Canon (although, of course, not comparable to the L-series lenses), the lens does not even feel in the hand, especially with a machine of a certain weight like the C100. The construction is made of plastic but not for this reason the lens is a toy, and indeed it gains in lightness. The f/2 aperture is perfect for working even in suboptimal light, and the detachment of the subject is sufficient in most cases. The sharpness is excellent, sometimes excessive enough to have to be reduced in post. Overall excellent lens.

Pros: Lightweight, small, practical, f2 maximum aperture, stabilization

Cons: It is not tropicalized, does not have the standard hood, perhaps compared to other lenses a bit noisy the focus

Opinion: I had been following it for years but I never bought it even for the (new) price quite high, I found an opportunity on RCE and I took it immediately. I mounted it on a 5D Mark III and I think I will not disassemble it anymore, small, compact, light, very practical, I made an exit and I must say that practically it is like not having it, it does not clutter comfortably fits in a backpack of modest size considering also the camera body. Excellent first impressions, high quality, sharp images even at full aperture (shooting little at apertures all open) for the moment you do not find major defects. The price of the new is very high and from what I understand even the used maintains the price, evidently it is very sought after. It does not have the standard hood (my specimen was equipped with a non-original hood that is fine the same) considering the price perhaps a hood is there, it does not have tropicalization could be a problem for landscape or street photography. The overall great product!
