- Sharpest Image EverI purchased this lens in 2008 based on Canon's reputation and my personal experience with a wide range of canon fixed focal lenses that I had purchased over the years. The pictures I took with this lens were so sharp, it changed my understanding of lenses altogether. Case in point, I took a picture of the night sky in Canada on oct 21, 2011. the settings were f/2.8, 15 seconds, ISO 2000. I noticed a cluster of stars at the edge of the image. When I zoomed in it turned out to be the Pleiades constellation. I could actually see all seven sisters. I am so happy with this lens, the next one will be the 17mm f/4L TS-E.
- Fantastic viewing angleI really want to give this lens 5 stars, but it's corner sharpness is just not good enough for a perfect score. It's not as sharp as some other Canon prime lenses, but it's more difficult to make a super sharp lens at such a wide angle. It's still sharper than the 16-35mm L. Everything else about this lens as fantastic. It's one of my favorite lenses. I just love the viewing angle, it's superb. It's around 100-110 degrees across, and has little to no distortion. This means if you shoot with the camera level, a horizontal line will be perfectly straight. Shoot perpendicular to a horizontal line, and it will be straight. You can show and entire room from a corner, plus a little of each wall you are standing near. If you are a fan of wide angle this is a must try lens.
