Pros: Construction, autofocus more than adequate without F & B, color fidelity, zoom range of APS-C "interesting".

Cons: Not very sharp at the edges, lack of stabilization requires time freehand fast exposure, difficulty in finding a lens hood adaptable

Opinion: Purchased by a French seller for 70 euro more than fair condition, I had many doubts about the validity of a goal so dated, amazed me instead for autofocus more than adequate and above all for their loyalty and the right color saturation. I posted in my gallery by way of example a sunset taken directly in jpeg (details are given in the caption). The objective is more suitable on FF, but also on APS-C may give interesting shots. It is not stabilized, then you must have a very steady hand even with exposure times "safe." I write times on board, when shooting in raw, they are definitely long, but I think it's worth it to wait a while to get pictures with truly excellent colors. If you find it on EUR 70/80, in good condition, without any remora.rnrnP.S buy it. Forget the series produced after this (ie from 1994 onwards).

Pros: Ergonomics, Durability, precise and without USM f & b, Bayonet metal

Cons: No attack hood, slight blur at the edges to 80mm

Opinion: bought by a German seller for 90 Euros and arrived in four days. Purchase perfectly timed for the use that I do, that street and shooting. Solid construction and no frills, the solidtà and its almost 560 grams making it a truly excellent build quality piece. The focus USM does not disappoint at all and despite a slight Front-Back in low light, the rest does its dirty work. If you find that lens at prices below 100 Euros, I highly recommend it!

Pros: Sharpness, focal length, construction, blurred, auto focus, color fidelity

Cons: For now nothing, manual focus ring a little tough

Opinion: Bought on Ebay for 35 euros, a handyman was looking for my 1D Mark III do not spend a fortune. I have had this opportunity and I decided to invest the little money that it cost. Arrived with no lens cover front and back (but speak, for 35 Euro we can stand) in aesthetic and functional conditions ottime.rnSubito tested. For a lens of early 90s I can not claim to be entranced. Excellent sharpness throughout the frame already from the maximum aperture (down slightly faint at 80 mm), excellent color rendering, excellent blurry at f3.5. rugged construction with metal bayonet, fast and quiet USM autofocus. In my sensor format (crop 1.3) becomes a 35-105, great all-rounder, excluding the extreme edges maybe a little less sharp. Until now I have not found flaws, perhaps the manual focus ring a little Durella. Overall, they soddisfatissimo. If you find one little, I can only straconsigliarlo.

Pros: Construction, Optical Quality, Speed ??Focus and Noise (Ultrasonic Ring) Full Time Manual Focus, Window indication of the distance

Cons: Impractical on APS-C, it can be a "counter" front lens poorly protected, resistance to flare poor

Opinion: Great goal, especially in relation to the year of construction and the current price on the used market. Nothing to do with the other six EF 28-80 canon of which pays for the bad reputazione.rnIl range of focal length is a bit 'limited, now also zoom in "normal" for FF is reasonable to expect the 24mm. The build quality is excellent and it is easy to find examples in perfect working condition.
