middle-class lens,
This lens is almost superb for its price! It’s a middle-class lens, what appears in the following:
– it has bigger light-factor (3.5-4.0 vs 4.0-5.6 in the low-class lenses). This gives you more possibilities, for instance to use faster shutter speeds or to decrease the depth-of-fild for special effects)
– the first (outer) lens doesn’t spin what gives you an opportunity to use square filters; using a poliriser becomes as easy as any other filter.
– the USM (Ultra Sonic Motor) gives you a really super speed of focusing and completely silent engine. You’ll catch the fastest actions and nothing will distrub your object!
These are the most important and useful features of the lens. I should also admit, that the focal distance of this lens is almost ideal for everyday photography, because gives you an opportunity to shoot from landscapes (~24-50mm) to portraiture (~50-85mm) with an equal simplicity and quality.

|A Fabulous Documentary Lens,
I’ve had this lens for a few years now, and I absolutely love it. It is compact, sharp, and dependable. I’m a wide-angle shooter, so this one is just about perfect. Canon’s USM is beautiful. Unlike Nikon, Canon seeks and achieves quiet, fast, and accurate auto focusing. Coupled with a light and quiet EOS camera body, and you’ve got an excellent documentary kit, great for shooting people in close and personal. At 24 mm, this lens gives excellent range for close work, with lots of depth and sharpness, making focusing and composing a cinch in evolving situations. My only gripe with this lens is its manual focus ring. I grew up with manual focus, and I love excercising that skill, but this lens has nothing more than an obligatory, plastic, and poorly placed focusing ring that discourages manual work. Fortunately, Canon’s autofocusing system is phenomenal. Round-out your EOS kit with a Canon SpeedLite (compatible all the way down to 24 mm).
