Expensive; Susceptible to flare and no hood is supplied as standard; Falloff at maximum aperture

Canon EF 24mm f/2.8 IS USM

The Canon EF 24mm f/2.8 IS USM is a capable but pricey ultra wideangle prime that will appeal most to landscape and reportage photographers looking for a lightweight and responsive lens.

Quite Satisfied

I own the 24-70 2.8L and the 24 - 105 4.0L. my biggest gripe has been the the lack of sharpness on the edges at the widest angle at 24 mm, as well as the darkness around the edges during indoor group shooting.

Fast auto-focus; Superior build quality; Super-sharp images; worth the money
