WOW WOW WOW
I use this lens for Real estate photography and My God it's so awesome. It does the job for what I need to. Love the feel and features. Only reason I went with 4 stars is because it's not a L lens so it's not as robust and on that note. A client hit my tripod and broke the lens.. But guess what. It's only 400 bucks and easy to replace if you dont have insurance. Manual isn't really a thing anymore in Real Estate. AutoFucus is great. Recommend for everyone in Real estate.

IS works great in low light conditions.
I use this lens on my R7 and am very happy with it. I'm an amateur just learning photography so I may not be the best judge of the performance but the images are sharp to my eye. I have used it indoors in aviation museums and the IS works great. I was able to get sharp photos at 1/60th shutter speed.

Not bad for the price, pronounced vignetting is the only draw back
great lens for real estate photography! the main drawback is lens has a lot of vignetting at 15-16 mm. My Canon RP camera does not make adjustments to the vignetting on the photos. I had to rely on editing program to fix it all the time. I'm used to it.

Pros and cons
I needed at least 16mm for my real estate photography. This one fits the bill on that issue. In the manual focus mode, there are no distance markings making it impossible to reliably set the lens to 6'

Good, but flawed
Slightly unintuitive, turning counterclockwise to zoom is a bit difficult to get used to. Good for wide angle scenery shots however. Not good for a lot else, as there isn't a lot of zoom.

Really great for the price
For the price this lens is fantastic. It's nice and light and is pretty sharp. I used this for real estate shoots and it does the job just fine. Though unedited and raw you will get very heavy vignetting and distortion but as you see in my photo examples you can fix that in lightroom.

Pretty good
Compact and reaches all the way down to 15mm. However, I find that while it is sharp, it has a more "flat" (less 3D-like) rendering compared to the 16mm f2.8 at the widest angle. Things and subjects have more of a "pop" with the latter. Compared to the 35mm Sigma Art HSM (at 30mm focal length), the differences are even more noticeable. Overall it's a decent lens, and it is sharp, but colors look a bit washed out and the images lack depth.
