Fantastic lens for taking wide angle shots. Crystal clear to the edge, no perceivable distortion or color variance as I have seen on some lenses. With that said, despite the large aperture, you need additional light to get the best picture, so a good flash in partnership inside a building does aid in a perfect picture.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought this a couple of weeks ago. I shoot with apertures between f/8-11 for all focal lengths. Havent had to use it on tripod yet. The image stabilization works great. It is acceptably sharp. The depth of field is fantastic. Very fast and very quiet autofocus. I wish I had bought this lens before buying the other lenses. I recommend this lens for landscape photographers using apsc cameras.

I have now had this lens for over a year now. I use it a lot for my Architecture work as I am in tight spaces but need to show the entire space. I use a 7D. Also I use it extensively for shots of our beautiful English 130 year old weeping beech and same age Ginkos. Many shots of our home decorated for Christmas (Christmas House, Williamsport, PA). I love the light weight when hiking and the image quality is right up there with my L lenses. It is not sealed or rugged built like the L but it is well built and if not abused works beautifully. Get the separately sold hood as it is just what you should do with all your lenses. Incredible images can be captured with this beautiful lens.

Great Lens

I bought this lens about 10 months ago and so far the image and build quality has been excellent, although the lens has noticeable distortion and chromatic aberration towards the edges the images came out great. The lens is not the greatest in low light but that is to be expected from a wide-angle lens in this price range

Sharp and light weight for landscape photos.

I bought this lens because of the quality photos produced by it. This is one of the least expensive lenses in my collection. This lens produces the best landscape photos, with the sharpest, and best field of view of any lens I own. This is a very light weight, and small lens that I can always depend on for great shots.
