The focal length of this prime lens from Canon is on the edge of ultra wide angle when used on a full frame sensor or the 35mm film it was originally designed for. Even on a cropped sensor, it provides a good angle of coverage. We take a look at how it performs.
Good build and finish; Nice focal length on Full Frame cameras; Silent and fast autofocus; Good image quality
Not that useful on cropped sensors; Stiff manual focus ring (on example tested; Distortion worse than on modern designs (minor point; Hood not included with lens
