Far surpassed expectations, absolutly silent AF, excellent sharpness
5 of 5 found this helpful After using this lens for a week I can say that it is such a joy to use. I bought this lens after purchasing its little brother, the 40mm STM, a few weeks ago and I wanted a walkaround lens that I could use for wideangle and medium telephoto shots and video and to complement this with my 40mm for some creative shots. This lens is optically great with fast, absolutely silent autofocus on my 550D. THe build quality is superb and the next generation IS enables sharp, handheld shots at 200mm equiv. at 1/30th Second so it works well for me as I do a lot of low light photography at functions and so I was intitally worried about the 'fastness' of this lens but the IS sorts those issues out and modern DSLR's control noise so well at high ISO's that this isnt an issue for me.
Optical quality is great at all focal lengths, the focal range not being as broad as a 'superzoom' lens is probably to thank for that.
I will update this review when I have used it some more but I am seriously impressed by this lens from Canon and have already sold my excellent Tamron 18-50mm F2.8 to make room for it.

Small, light, almost silent lens that will change your photography
2 of 2 found this helpful After using this lens for over 3 weeks, I felt I had to write a review about how impressed I am with this lens. For a while I have considered getting a compact camera to supplement my Canon 550D for occasions where I don't wat to carry as much. Then I spotted this little lens. After looking through many reviews I was slightly worried that the 40mm focal length may be a bit strange on my 1.6x crop camera. However I think this length works great, enabling me to use it for both portrait and small group shots at parties and functions that I shoot for work, as well as encouraging me to be more creative in my time off by not having a zoom lens.
The optical performance of this lens is superb, surpassing that of the Canon 50mm F1.8 Mk II which was this lens' predecessor. The autofocus is pretty quick and almost silent thanks to the STM technology and full time manual focussing is also useful and never normally found on a lens in this price range.
Highly recommended lens that will encourage you to go out more with your DSLR.

Fast, seamless, intuitive operation
Excellent product. You can tell it is so well thought out and operation is seamless compared to an Android Jelly Bean tablet I have had.
