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.

I went to a Best Buy store to order this lens & first of all service was awesome! I ordered it on a Monday afternoon at 430 & it arrived 2 days later! Great experience all the way around.

It is wide enough for the Grand Canyon, but not too wide (or fish eye). It is quiet, and worked well shooting Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin West a week ago.

very light and awesome picture quality, built is OK, didn't expect the wideness even on 1.6 cropped 550D. I would recommend to a friend.

Easy to use; Compact; Build quality; Battery life; Screen size

Love the maximum aperture of 1.8!

This has been my favorite lens so far. I have another fixed lens of Canon's that I fell in love with & both are great. The images are crisp and clear and they are sturdy/durable.

Pros: I grew up with manual focus prime lenses so the Canon EF 28mm f/1.8 feels like home to me. I use the autofocus most of the time ?ò it's spot on and fast, but I like to focus manually, especially with the very shallow depth of field this lens offers at f/1.8, and it has a large and very smooth...

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.

Solid Construction. Good low light performance on a T6i. Excellent sharpness at f2.8. Still not bad at f1.8. Nice wide angle without fisheye for a crop DSLR.
