The lens offers good image quality - sharpness is great straight from f/2.8 and there is only a small amount of barrel distortion visible

Super clean sharp images

While it certainly delivers better image quality than the EF 28

For me the reason to own this lens is the unique combination of tiny size, image stabilization and excellent image quality

f/2.8 IS USM is a compact and well-built prime lens with a nice wide-angle focal length, a good maximum aperture and a modern image stabilizer that compensates up to 4 f-stops

Nevertheless, with F2.8 and IS engaged and I can hand hold my camera and nail amazingly sharp images of evening street scenes, dim bars and stages

24mm f/2.8 IS USM's rugged build quality and good image quality will leave no regrets

24mm f/2.8 IS USM for its good image quality, compact size and the maximum aperture of f/2.8

This lens is sharp--just as sharp as my 35L, if not sharper
