Canon EF 28mm f/2.8 Lens

 

The Canon EF 28mm f/2.8 Lens is both light in weight and light on your wallet

The Canon EF 28mm f/2.8 Lens is a decent lens for the price.

Canon EF 28mm f/2.8

 

The Canon EF 28mm f/2.8 completes the local tests of the classic Canon wideangle fix-focals. The lens was first released in 1987 so it is as old as theEOS system itself.On APS-C DSLRs the field-of-view isequivalent to 45mm so it can almost be...

Canon EF 28mm f/2.8 35mm Primes

 

I bought this lens assuming it would be an upgrade from my EF28-105 and 28-200mm tamron xr.I was wrong, both the ef28-105mm and the 28-200 are sharper at 28mm even when stopped down.Pass on this prime, 5 element construction is not enough, even my...

Small, handles flair well

soft edges, outclassed by ef 28-105mm and ef 22-55mm

Nice lens on a EOS crop sensor

 

On a EOS crop sensor this lens works out to be a 44mm lens, which is probably why I like it so much. I've used it on a full frame camera too and it distorts on the edges, this is pretty cool too and makes the lens pretty versatile. The glass is nice...

Perfect!

 

This is my first lens away from T2i kit. It was a GREAT investment, the quality and feel of this lens is solid. The Focus is quick and silent and the focus ring is nothing to complain about. Before you buy, I suggest you do some research on Depth of...

Great Little Lens

 

I have a T1i and mostly use the 15-85mm lens. Recently faced with a holiday shopping weekend in Chicago, I knew I wanted to bring my camera, but not carry around a heavy lens all day. I also wanted something that would take great indoor shots,...

Fast auto-focus, Super-sharp images, lightweight

no hood included

Fantastic lens

 

This is a great little lens - don\'t be fooled by its modest price tag. The colour reproduction and sharpness are very impressive with little abberation and a f2.8 it is fast enough for most applications when using as a walkaround. Surprisingly wide on...

Canon EF 28mm f/2.8 review by Ashley_Pomeroy

 

There's an odd thing; I have a Canon 24mm f/2.8, which has a terrible blur plot here at SLRGear but performs well on my full-frame Canon 5D MkII when stopped down to f/8. It is sharp in the extreme corners at that aperture and beyond. I also have a...

Small, very cheap, sharp and good walkabout range on APS-C

Ancient design, not great on full-frame, redundant

Great on APS-C

 

I bought this lens to replace the kit one, which came with my EOS450D. The difference is noticeable, esecially in focusing speed and low light performance. However the lens suffers from heavy chromatic aberration which is visible at almost any f-stop...

Fast auto-focus, great in low light condition, compact and solid

chromatic aberration, no lens hood as standard equipment

Perfect for my T1i

 

I bought this lens to use on my T1i instead of the kit lens, it's the only lens I use on it. The images are sharp, I shoot wide open much of the time for people in existing light situations and catching the moment and am very happy with the results....

fast lens, on the t1i it's a 40mm
