I'm impressed! Exactly the product deserves your attention.

The stabilizer works with a bang, as an "every day" lens is quite suitable. the only thing that seems to me it is a bit dark, I have a Zenith optics,
helios 44-2 (f 2),
industrial 50-2 (f 3.5)
and Jupiter 37A (f3.5)
with helios, it is clear that it is lighter, but Jupiter, which is almost the same in size, will be lighter than this canon. I think it is clear to everyone that Zenith optics are much better than this one, but it is not suitable for all shots, and this lens is very good. at 18 mpix the pictures are amazing and I don’t know why some at 50d don’t get good pictures with it. in general, I advise everyone, this lens works out its money. and those who are thinking about buying serious optics, look for old optics for the M42 thread and buy an adapter for kenon. there is no automation, but the quality is excellent!

Pros

Fast, sharp, convenient, versatile, inexpensive.

Cons

I don’t see them for such a lens, even distortions are significant, and to compensate for darkening there is a function in some cameras that corrects them. (Lens peripheral illumination correction).
