I use it in conjunction with a budget canon 1100d carcass. The park has a kit 18-55, pancake 40mm f2,8. This one was purchased for outdoor photography. Perfect for reportage photography. Built-in stub - excellent thing! The quality of the photo in comparison with the kit is no comment at all, with a pancake - sharper photos, with a more beautiful blur on an open aperture. Definitely happy with the purchase! Favorite outdoor lens!
