Comments about Canon Canon EF 24mm f/2.8 Auto Focus Wide Angle Lens - USA:

I bought this for a wider experience. It does get a very wide, clear shot, just make sure you have subject in the middle of your shot.
Clear and crisp pictures.

Comments about Canon Canon EF 24mm f/2.8 Auto Focus Wide Angle Lens - USA:

This is a good standard wide angle lens that takes good pictures. However, with this lens you can expect CA when shooting high contrast situations such as bright light from behind the subject. Also, expect to add in some contrast in post production when compared to pictures taken with an L series lens.

Comments about Canon Canon EF 24mm f/2.8 Auto Focus Wide Angle Lens - USA:

24mm w/ the 1.6 correction factor is very close to a full-frame 35mm lens. So it is at least getting there on wide angle. I did a direct comparison between this lens and my Tokina 19-35mm zoom (zoomed to just about 24mm, and I forced the aperture to be the same) and this Canon 24mm is without a doubt sharper. It is light and convenient, does not feel "rugged" but seems to be just fine to carry around in a bag for general use.

Makes a good moderate wide angle lens on cameras with a 1.6 cropping factor. Its compact size is a plus.
