Reliable purchase, guaranteed to be a good one.

Since I bought this miracle, I have never used the 35 F / 2 IS USM fixed in my backpack for almost a year, which often lacks an angle and which I took a year before buying this lens. The pictures are sharp, aperture and stub are normal. In terms of price - a little expensive - but judging by the weight, it's worth it. Examples of photos on a cloudy day are attached. Camera 700D

Pros
  • - sharp - fast - Stabilizer - Wide angle allows you not to buy width separately
Cons
  • - Look for a lens hood, but bought a Chinese norm - Filters are expensive due to the diameter - but I bought Chinese ones - Probably the most important miscalculation is the outgoing trunk. Could have made a latch or a tighter move.

Everything in the purchase suits, a very necessary product.

At first, the difference with the whale lens, apart from aperture, seemed insignificant to me, and the quality was worse in comparison with the whale (18-55mm f / 4-5.6). It just turned out to be an illusion. The subject surpasses any whale in general in many ways: sharpness, excellent bokeh, frame stabilization. If you are not satisfied with the kit lens and variable aperture, then this lens is simply the best, even with all the shortcomings I have voiced. The best lens for crop. It weighs…

Pros
  • • Most importantly: copes with work in poorly lit rooms and at dusk, sometimes even a tripod is not required outdoors • Constant aperture • Excellent picture quality, nice bokeh, excellent stabilizer
Cons
  • • The weight • Likes to attract dust • Weak design for such money: backlashes of the trunk begin after 2 years (if I'm lucky) of operation. It falls off due to its own weight. • It happens that when shooting at a wide aperture, blind spots appear, and the focus is focused on one object (even if the entire composition is being shot) • The stabilizer is noisy (minor disadvantage)

Perfect product for any user!

Great lens that replaced my 18-55 kit and 50 1.8stm I shoot almost everything with them. Even 17mm portraits come out with a bokeh. Excellent sharpness in the open, minimal aberrations, there is a vignette, but I don’t remove it. Long thought to take or not? and will I notice a difference with the whale? I noticed as soon as I put it on and took the first shots. Below photo all at F2.8

Pros
  • Picture quality Aperture Focus speed sharpness bokeh Versatility
Cons
  • The trunk leaves spontaneously if the camera is tilted with the lens down a bit heavy

The best I ever used, recommend it to everybody.

Subjectively - a Canon EF 24-70 2.8L level lens, but with a stub and only for crop sensors. Very comfortable to work with, sharp. For me, the ideal glass "for every day" for crop matrices. Before taking the attached shot, the camera (Canon 70D) with this lens was overwhelmed by the Baikal wave, but nothing pah-pah, everything is alive :) Location: Lake Baikal, Cape Uyuga.

Pros
  • Photo and video quality Aperture sharpness Stabilizer Build quality Ease of use
Cons
  • No hood included outdated design

My impression of the purchase is good, buy it.

Overall very good With its pros: sharp, fast, good color reproduction, heavy as a virtue, does not tremble in the hands With its cons: In low and medium light, the Canon 450d cannot focus - you have to switch to manual focusing

One of the best deals, glad I bought this.

With its pros: Picture quality Aperture Focus speed sharpness bokeh Versatility Its cons: The trunk leaves spontaneously if the camera is tilted with the lens down a bit heavy

Has some pros: 1 good aperture (however, the background blurs relatively weakly) Very fast, The stabilizer works great, even at 1/8 Solid assembly, the trunk does not leave (at least for me), Such a big one . ))) Some cons: 1 2 Although for 8 months no dust has penetrated inside, 4 When purchasing FF, you have to sell this glass .

The product is good, there are only a few minor flaws.

With its pros: Constant decent aperture, ultrasonic motor, stabilizer - all this is very useful, the location of the rings for focus and zoom - everything is convenient. With its cons: One turned out to be decent, and the second has dust between the lenses, back focus and a noticeably smaller depth of field.

One of the best deals, glad I bought this.

Has pros: 1 2 Possibility of manual focus correction without switching to manual mode. Got cons: A year later, when shooting up / down, the trunk began to move out a little, changing the focal length.

Only the EF-S mount distinguishes it from L-ki, otherwise I didn’t see the difference, although I already have an elderly carc (400D) Before buying, I tried tokina 17-55 / 2.8, and so the original is much better! Very satisfied =) I advise the stingy not to pay twice! Has some pros: - tenacious autofocus - DOF is present, despite the crop and the 2.8 point - everything is fine with the case, it dust, it works without noise, I think it depends on the operating conditions and the accuracy of…

I recommend to buy, the product is of high quality.

As I had been using Tamron lenses, I began searching for a native lens that would work with my D50. At first, I planned on purchasing a Canon EF 24-105 mm f/4 L IS USM lens; however, after further consideration, I decided against it. After reading the evaluations, I gained some perspective and realized that it is still designed for full-frame cameras, although I use a crop sensor. Then I came upon this lens; the pricing, of course, threw me off because it doesn't appear to be L, but it actually

Pros
  • Precise autofocus and aperture, the ability to shoot with your hands even at low ISOs in the city at night, and photographs that are crisp and clear.
Cons
  • Price

The quality is top notch, be sure to try it.

1. If you have to choose between 17-55 and 24-105, don't even entertain the idea of going with 17-55! - It is superior in a variety of respects (2.8, focusing speed and tenacity, it is better and faster to sell used) 2. Immediately after making the purchase, select a standard protective filter to use as a viable option. Hoya HD Protect 77 mm is a gauge size. ((Do not take UV because it is a complete waste of money; you would be better off saving it for future expenses;))) 3. 17-40 and 24-105 is

Pros
  • I have been making use of them for the past quarter of a year! Feelings are always of a good nature. The degree of quality and functionality of the focus speed is consistent throughout. They don't use any artificial hues; the colors are completely natural. Even with a hood, the Canon 60D with the 17-55mm lens looks like a very impressive and beautiful camera. Both the height and the weight are ideal for someone with my proportions (184 inches tall). There hasn't been any dust in the air for the past four months, and there can't be any - as soon as I made the purchase, I immediately wound the Hoya HD 77 mm, and my nerves are now at ease behind the front lens;) The decision to go with 17-55 was reached after a process that took seven months and including shopping, salon visits, reading online forums, and professional surveys. 24-105 or 17-55?! That was the question that needed to be answered. I chose this path for myself between the ages of 17 and 55. About the focal lengths, I thought I knew best, but it turns out that 55 millimeters works rather well for me. It is the best choice for photographing portraits and subjects in general. You'll need between 70 and 200 for the body! I was able to obtain a high-quality duplicate that lacked both rear and front focus, and after having it adjusted, the accuracy was confirmed. After using it for a year, this was added. The enthusiasm that followed the purchase has already worn off, and now I can write about what it actually is: a lens that has never let me down. There was never any consideration given to switching to the L series in its place (on these focal lengths). The focal ones were sufficient in and of themselves for 90%. I'm contemplating upgrading both the chassis and the lens (24-70 II), but given that the latter has a significantly higher price tag (((((68000), I don't want to look at any other cameras after mine. No dust inside (protective filter taxis) Even though I'm not a professional, you can see for yourself that some of my photographs have turned out well (kmk). I'm still getting the hang of things, but owing to this lens, photography has gone from being a side interest to becoming one of my go-to activities when I go on vacation. http://fotki. . Ru/users/dim6901/ Also, a word of advice: avoid purchasing lenses that are too inexpensive. In this instance, the cost is the factor that decides the level of quality.
Cons
  • Due to the lack of a lens hood and the extensive hunt for a native one (which cost 2500!) I ended up purchasing a Flama lens hood from Amazon for 350 with an inscription for Canon. The cost of it is not a detriment in any way! He's got more going for him! 77mm filters with an expensive caliber (protective 1500, polarik 3000-4500 and beyond - I'm talking about major firms here). After a year of regular use, there are no defects. And it is not at all heavy. Heavy is defined as between 70 and 200 II (1.5 kg).

The sharpness is excellent, beginning with the open. The edges are superior to those produced by a tamron. Stabilizer - I can take a picture of a city at night using only my hands, at a wide angle, using only 1/4 of a second, and it's simple! Even though the bokeh produced by the tokina 16-50/2.8 is generally more interesting, the overall quality of the image produced by the tokina 16-50/2.8 is superior to that produced by the tamron 17-50/2.8. When compared to the tamron and the tokin, the…

Pros
  • In comparison to a 16-50/2.8 tokina and a 17-50/2.8 tamron, the sharpness of this zoom crop is superior to what I've seen from other zoom crop lenses. The stabilizer is essential to have.
Cons
  • There is no hood provided. Not dirt and dampness, even if the additional cost was five or six thousand dollars.

One of the best offers, glad I bought it.

This lens does not have any equivalents for crop in terms of the combination of its properties, and this is the only crop lens that may possibly be of a high quality at these focal lengths. Since I started using it a little more than a year ago, it has almost reached the status of a standard lens due to its adaptability; yet, it cannot replace the zoom because of its limited focal length. Some pros: 1. Aperture. 2. The actual weight as well as the practical design. 3. Punctuality 3. 4. The…
