Canon EF 28mm f/1.8 USM Lens Review

The Canon EF 28mm f/1.8 USM Lens is currently Canon's fastest 28mm lens . And the only wider angle lens that is faster (wider aperture) is the Canon EF 24mm f/1.4L II USM Lens . My first thought upon removing the 28 f/1.8 from the box was that it was very similar to the Canon EF 20mm f/2.8 USM Lens...

Canon EF 28mm f/1.8 USM Lens Review

Handling and features Performance Verdict Specification This classic wide angle prime from Canon provides a wide angle field of view, fast, silent focusing and a bright f/1.8 maximum aperture.

Good build quality; Compact; Reasonably lightweight

Poor optical performance at fast apertures; CA at fast apertures; Price versus performance doesn't add up

Canon EF 28mm f/1.8 USM - APS-C Review / Re-Test

The Canon EF 28mm f/1.8 USM disappoints on the APS-C format. It is a full format lens yet the border quality leaves something to be desired even when stopped down. The fairly heavy amount of lateral CAs reduces the subjective quality perception even further.

Canon EF 28mm f/1.8 USM

The Canon EF 28mm f/1.8 USM ($509.99 direct) is impressively compact when you consider its wide-angle field of view and fast aperture, but there are some optical compromises that you should be aware of. It is compatible with both APS-C and full-frame Canon D-SLR cameras .

Not sharp at maximum aperture; Prone to color fringing; No image stabilization.

Canon EF 28mm f/1.8 USM review by DanSlr

I recently got this after thinking about buying it for at least one year. After reading the reviews I decided to go for this one instead of the Sigma 30mm F1.4. This lens have been "glued" to my Canon 7D after I got it. The feel and "fun factor" of this lens is huge.

"Normal view" for a APS-C camera; sharp; excellent bokeh; lightweight compared to zoom lenses; excellent built; great film lens

Some "travelling" of the auto focus; difficult to focus in low light

A great lens, not sure what I received was a new lens.

The only problem was the box was beat up and the lenses was very dirty on both sides, there were no visible scratches but I got the feeling that the lens was used. No damage but if you spend $500. On a lens I would expect to get it in better condition.

Still a solid choice on crop body

I have owned this lens for almost three years and have used it on a 40d, 60d and a 7d. I love the speed and accuracy of the USM focus system and appreciate the solid build quality and feel of this lens in hand.

Awesome! My new favourite!

I got exactly what i wanted when i bought this EF Lens. I had read some bad reviews about the lens, but I just think it's just a matter of taste. It's not the best lens in the world, but I like it! It's cheap (for a lens), it's small and it's great in dark conditions.

I have discovered a hidden gem in the canon EF lens lineup! The EF 28mm f/1.8 USM lens has never really received exceptional praise or glowing reviews. I honestly don't know why! On digital SLRs (namely full frame and 1.6x bodies) it's perfect for available light photography.

F/1.8 is a definitely bonus; Fast AF; Decent build quality; Not too expensive; Works on any EF-Mount camera

Could be a tad bit sharper wide open (fixable in post production however, Small amounts of CA can be seen at wide apertures (also correctable, Plastic vs; metal construction (personal preference

Canon 28mm f1.8

I wanted a wide angle prime and was caught between the 24mm f2.8 and the 28mm f1.8. I decided to go with aperture over focal length. I think I made a good choice. This is a good lens, fast focus, sharp images. So far I am pleased with my choice. Thanks again to B&H for their help and fast delivery.
