This lens gives very wide angle coverage for film bodies with very average performance.Don't bother for crop sensor digital as there are better lenses for the money which will give you wide coverage. Its big front element is flare prone due to size. The build is light and plasticky though ok for what it it is. Optically its a little disapointing and only useable above F8 as its very soft below this f stop. Nice colours though. I have it for crazy family party shots where there are so many people in small spaces. I have also used the Canon 20 35 usm before which is a better lens but three times the price on the used market.
Wide angle lens, suitable for full frame cameras. Sharpness and quality very same as Canon 17-40mm F/4, but the price 10x lower. Autofocus very quick and precise. Resistance to flares very low so hood is very recommended. Rotating end while focus is also disadvantage but not a big problem at all.
