Sharp and wide photos with amazing quality

but the photos so far have been GREAT!!!

Pros : excellent photos in bright lightVery sharp when area is in focusPleasant background blurring or bokeh at wide apertureCan focus on very near objects - does macros wellFlat and lightCons : indoors or outdoors after sunset seems to require very high ISO or a flashFocusing is quiet, but does not track fast enough for normal video

Don't have to get far away to take really great photos, and it does well in low-light situations

I wish it come with the UV-protector but the lens is amazing, take good photos

Awesome everyday photo taking lens.

Very crisp photos and quick focus on low light shoots.

The photos and videos I've taken with it are always extremely clear and the wide angle distortion is barely noticeable

my photos were fine, both from zoom and prime lenses

You'll get better results in low light and sharper photos all around

The only problem is, I find that photos between f4-f2.8 are very distorted, otherwise it takes great shots.

The photos just aren't that sharp

For the price, excellent photos.

This thing takes great photos for an inexpensive lens!

While it took really sharp photos, I eventually returned it and purchased a http://www.amazon.com/Sigma-17-50mm-Aperture-Standard-Digital/dp/B003A6H27K, which I absolutely love

Lens takes great photos but I was hoping to use this for recording video

Clear and beautiful photos, especially portraits.

We have this lens on an old 20D body, and the photos turned out great.

However, if you are a stickler for tack-sharp photos I wouldn't do it

Provides crystal clear photos for cropped sensor photos

Every photo looks naturally great, and as if it came out of a movie

This lens takes AMAZING photos

It’s a great portrait lens, offering much better quality photos

It doesn't take up a lot of space in my camera bag and it takes sharp photos and videos

The photos come out very sharp and it's wonderfully light

For a wideshot lens, cannon has the best budget lens with that buttery fstop of 2.8, can get really nice and clear photos without having to be a mile away

I've included a few photos from my first time out with the lens (not at all an ideal time of day, but still very happy with the results.)

Works great and takes great photos

The photos are all very blurry even in auto non-flash and the edges aren't crisp.. really disappointed as I really really wanted to like product and after testing two they didn't meet expectation.

Takes great photos

Excellent photos, sharp and clear both close up and in landscape mode.

I love using it in my studio thus far, and I can’t wait to do more shoots with it in the future(: takes great photos with lights and strobes as well!

I just started getting back into photography, as I needed to shoot better photos for my job, and as a hobby

I hope it going to give me a nice photos as I wish
