Q&A

The Canon EF 28mm f/1.8 USM is a wide-angle prime lens that lets you capture more in the frame by broadening the angle of view - great for group shots and landscape shots. It's designed for full-frame DSLR, and can be used with APS-C format DSLR as a standard lens with equivalent focal length of 45mm. Constructed of 10 elements in 9 groups, this lens ensures superb optical performance, while an aspherical lens element reduces spherical aberration and makes possible compact, lighter lens design. A bright f/1.8 allows effective shooting in low light conditions, and delivers shallow depth of field control. An Ultrasonic Motor (USM) provides fast and quiet autofocus action, while manual focus can be performed smoothly and accurately via the rubber focus ring. Additionally, this lens comes in a relatively compact size and mild weight at only 310g, making it a great carry-around wide-angle lens.

Amith R. 7/17/2012 3:14:49 PM Ownership: 4/5	Rating: 4/5Fast Prime This review is from: Canon EF 28mm f/1.8 USM Wide Angle Lens Pros: Fast prime lense, great Fstop, nice focal length for indoors on a crop sensor. good bokeh and depth of field. I'm hoping to upgrade to the 28mm with IS soon. Cons: No image stabilization meant some of the pictures were blurry if i was not perfectly still. 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you?

William L. 3/21/2009 1:06:14 PM Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Picture taker This review is from: Canon EF 28mm f/1.8 USM Wide Angle Lens Pros: Purchased this lens for my Rebel XSi. With the XSi all lenses have a 1.6 multiplying factor, so it looks like a 50mm on a film XLR. I wanted something fast for indoor photos without a flash. Focus is critical. Good color and detail when you set up the photo correctly. If I'm shooting indoors, this is my lens of choice. Cons: You have to force this lens f-stop down to get good depth of field. Some like the 'bokeh', I don't. I go for f10-14 on a tripod and I am happy. Other Thoughts: Their is a little noticeable barreling around the sides, so be careful if straight lines are important. (As with all wide-angle lenses) Good balance, good size. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Douglas L. 11/28/2008 6:31:39 PM Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Favorite Lens This review is from: Canon EF 28mm f/1.8 USM Wide Angle Lens Pros: Light weight,fast accurate focus,great bokeh,great colors,great IQ Cons: Throw in the hood please Other Thoughts: Easily my favorite lens.Reminds me of a standard 50mm on a film camera. Makes you work for the shot.I will go to a zoom in places like a zoo where barriers prevent getting close.Colors are great,bokeh is outstanding.Focus is quick and silent. Do get the hood,but wish it was included.Great for indoors with or without flash. Very sharp,especially around F/8. This lens gets a bad rap sometimes,but I can't see why.Newegg had the best price and delivered with no hassle. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you?
