I'm worried about buying full-frame lenses for APS-C. Sadly, there just isn't a good selection for Canon right now and I doubt that will change. The annoying thing with full-frame lenses is not only the price, weight and size but also simply that you loose image quality. Since not all the light hits the sensor you end up with a far less dense light bundle than you would with a proper APS-C lens. That coupled with the extra cost and such and... it just doesn't seem worth it. Of course, if you have no choice, you have no choice.

I already have this lens, my advice is: if you are going to use it in 50mm or 55mm, don't buy it. The 50mm f1.8 fixed lens is much better in image quality and diaphragm, without a doubt the sharpest lens I've used. But if you're going to use it in wide angle, consider buying the 17-55 f2.8.

I cant belive they charge $900 Dolars for a lense that cant stay in the Zoom range, whenever you look up or down. People really just said, sure, lets all buy that... This is why companies make crap and get away with it. Because most consumers conform way to easy. Other example is the DJI Om 3, 4, 5 and 6 are not really that stable. KZbinrs sware by it and cant stop saying how stable it is. It is not. They jitter and if you dont have a phone with really good EIS, you will notice. And no one tells you about it before spending $150 to $200 Dolars on those things. They will not tell you straight up either if you ask DJI. They will just give you a list of things to check and gast light the heck out of you. Really good review. I have the Sigma 17 to 50 2.8 Doesnt zoom creep, its cheaper and almost as sharp. The only down side is that the color cast compared to this one is a bit greenish and doesnt handel flare as well as primes. Im not sure about how it would compare to this lense though.... No reviews that compare them mention it. Kind of frustrating.

Own the 18-35 for about 3-4 years now, kinda missing that extra range for run&gun/documentary style video. Kinda sad there aren't many EF options. How's the manual focus throw like? Is it more than 90 degrees at least? I can't trust autofocus since I'm not using the latest and greatest Sony's, and I'm adapting glass to Fujifilm for video.

It’s waaayyyyyy quieter than the sigma lens. It’s not silent but it’s it’s not bad in my opinion. I didn’t increase the sound or anything but it was totally silent in the room. That’s just how it sounds when you’re listening carefully to it on top of the camera. I used it for over a year on every shoot. I think you’ll like it way more than the sigma.

In EOS cameras from mid range to up theres a function called focus micro adjustment, it is necessary for many lenses especially those wich were designed before the camera where it is using was launched to market, it allows you move the sharpest focus area to certain deep, you can at adjust at 2.8.

Ah dude you’ll love it for sure. There’s no way you’ll pick up very much AF noise. I had to literally put my mic up to the lens to get that noise. If you want to hold it at 35mm on a top down, a little masking tape or something will do the trick
