Awesome non-full frame Digital SLR Lens.
I’ve had this  Digital SLR Lens for about a year now and it is one of my favorite’s to shoot with. The pictures always surprise me when I get back home after a day out and about. Even with 3.5 as its lowest aperture you can get amazing low light shots without a flash, even hand held. Personally I bought this expecting distortion which is kinda what I wanted but the only times I’ve really noticed distortion is shooting straight up the side of a skyscraper at 10mm. Almost all distortion goes as soon as your start zooming.

It’s also held up really well to my abuse. I’ve taken it out to the middle of the desert in early spring, a day at the beach where it was so cold my hands cramped up before my camera did and there was lots of swirling dust and being jostled by kids at the California Academy of Sciences. If this wasn’t an EF-S I’m sure it’d have a good chance at being considered an L lens. It has definitely been worth the price for me. I’m just sad I won’t be able to use it on the 5D Mark II when I get it.
