Heavy vignetting, soft in the corners, but it's a good little lens if you are looking for something on the wide end.

Un super grand angle qui " déménage "
Utilisant le plein format plein depuis peu , avec un 6D je viens de compléter mon zoom EF 24-70 mm f :4 IS avec ce 20 mm f: 2.8 dont la définition et le piqué sont excellents dès 2.8 et l'on peu travailler avec l' hyperfocale très utile avec cet optique

Canon EF 20mm f/2.8 USM
If you were actively seeking a review of this lens, the chances are that you've already seen another one written by Mr Ken Rockwell, who I believe it's fair to say divides opinion on many photography matters.
Pros:
- Fast and accurate focus
- sharp frame centre
- attractive colour rendering
Cons:
- Soft corners
- field curvature
- colour fringing

I purchased this lens used (1 month old )and was a little cautious about it's value.Took some pictures and was very pleased.Having other wide angle Len's to compare with 24-105,24-85 and17-40 I can say this 20mm lens is as good or better tan most of the other lens.I like the build quality and how...
Pros:
