I have been looking at this lens and reviews about it for a long time, and I kept thinking whether to take it or not to replace Keith. As a result, free 20k appeared in my pocket and the desire to get a new toy won over common sense and I became the owner of this lens. After playing around and comparing it directly with 18-55 and 18-135, I can say the following: Yes. The lens is better than kit lenses in all respects. A little better contrast, a little more accurate focusing, a little better…

A lot has been said about this lens, it’s even difficult to add something new :) I use this unit for reporting on Kenon 600D. It seems that there is only a 2mm difference with the same whale 17-55mm, but they help out a lot. Especially when shooting in very narrow places (for example, flights of stairs at the ransom of the bride). Good sharpness at f8-11. A very noteworthy lens.

Bought together with 7D (separately), with my first DSLR. Accordingly, the lens is the first and there is nothing to compare with. I have been using it for a month, happy as an elephant! It is only unclear whether the focal millimeters written on the lens should be multiplied by 1.6 or not, if, as it is written, that it is only for cropped cameras? And about the leaving tube under its own weight. There was advice from a professional photographer. When buying a lens, if you take it vertically in

This miracle of technology from Canon washed the lower left corner, but the effect did not always appear, but only at focal lengths from 15 to 35mm, and at any aperture value. But the most interesting thing is that not on all frames. In general, some kind of floating defect. I contacted the service, they said "even though everything is within the tolerance of Canon, but we have adjusted it a little." As a result, I only lost time, because they did not adjust anything and everything remained…

For reporting, USM and stub work at the level of the most nimble L-ki. I use it on the 7D with a battery pack, which allows me to scribble like a machine gun on the series. The drawing is flat, plastic (what else do you want from autofocus). Blend should be taken only Japanese with velvet. The sharpness is decent, there are no vignettes and excess soap. At focal 15 there is a small barrel, but in lightroom it is easy to correct. Many people write about being overweight - you haven't shot Carl…
