Pros: creamy colors used on eos r, plus all those already reported in previous reviews

Cons: focus

Opinion: I own this lens since 1989 I used canon ef-m analog, with it he took in dia memorable photos still amazing today. I rediscovered it with eos r , precise that I use manual focus, my specimen in auto focus works very well but croaks, with it I resumed using cokin filters, for effects that in post are difficult to obtain.

Pros: All-rounder, lightweight, compact, price on the used market, focal length 28mm, f/2.8,

Cons: It is not L series, it is not USM, it is not IS, hood not supplied, on FF it suffers, MAF a little noisy.

Opinion: It still has a lot to say and give despite being around since 1987! Convinced by the offer of my trusted photo-negotiator, I bought this all-rounder lens not so long ago. At the moment I had a couple of weddings and I was very satisfied, so much so that I never took it off during the course of the whole day. On FF it suffers a bit 'sharpness but it is normal. However I like it and promote it and recommend it to everyone. Rating 9/10.

Pros: Excellent performance especially on Aps-c Lightness rather fast and precise AF

Cons: Engine does USM and then a little loud, but not annoying

Opinion: I bought this lens to have a fixed focal length with a better yield than normal zoom. I always used to the satisfaction of Aps-c hassle to make portraits (44mm equivalent focal length.). The excellent aperture (f / 2.8) allows you shooting without flash normally difficult situations (such as in church), perhaps raising the ISO but without loss of quality '. It is here, in my opinion, the fixed focal length gives the best of himself. For portraits is very good yield. The price of the used today makes it attractive and profitable. I recommend it to anyone who wants to get more cheaply.

Pros: Light weight, price, yield on APSC

Cons: On any APSC

Opinion: I used 28 to 150 Euros. I needed a fixed focal length of 1.8 to 50 take me back together. I found it comfortable. during the day with good brightness it is perfect. I found him handsome even during the sunsets when the sunlight becomes reddish. Opening 2.8 behaves quite well, f4 from the massimo.rnPerfetto for Street, on APSC becomes a 50mm. At this price it's a bargain. No longer do so, it is only used having no luck.

Pros: Lightness, focal

Cons: dominant colors

Opinion: I use it on APS-C, adding 40 2.8 stm, in light output. It has a quality unexpected, given the age (it's a 1998 model). Suffers, sometimes, a dominant cold that forces to a greater post production work. The AF is precise but not very fast (but better than other objectives, eg. 1.8 50) and fairly noisy. If you Riec to find a used copy, it is a good buy that a quality / price ratio doesn'te to beat for this focal length.
