- Reviewed in Canada on September 26, 2024Verified PurchaseThis is my new favourite lens for video. I bought a Canon R8 and didn't want to use an adapter for my old lenses, otherwise i may as well have gone with a crop camera. This lens is amazing. Crisp, sharp images, great auto focus and feels nice in the hand. I definitely recommend it. It handles excellent in low light.
- Reviewed in Canada on May 6, 2024Verified PurchaseThis is a great lens. I have had fun using it so far. No problems and works great on my Canon R7. The image stabilization is fast and the pictures turn out wonderful. Would recommend.

- Reviewed in Canada on November 13, 2021Verified PurchaseWow this is wide! Nice to have this in my bag. I always had telephoto lenses, widest I have before this is a 50mm prime. First time having ultra wide so I'm a happy camper. This will be perfect for videos/vlogging and of course for indoor stills. Get one if you can.

- Reviewed in Canada on June 26, 2024Verified PurchaseWorks well. It captures around 96° horizontal, 73° vertical. So if you take 360 panorama, 4 horizontal shots at every 90° will make one 360° tour (360°x73°) or 6 vertical photo at every 60° will cover 360° for one tour (360°x96°)
For spherical 360tour(360x180°), I take 3 horizontal shots at every 120° for upside and 6 vertical shots at every 60 for downside + 1 shot for nadir, Totally 10 shots cover everywhere for a 360x180 spherical panorama.
- Reviewed in Canada on March 5, 2023Verified PurchaseIt is a great lens, you can get excellent photos with this lens. Good quality.
- Reviewed in Canada on February 13, 2024Verified PurchaseGood price, fast shipping. Loving this lens. Highly recommended. Came with matching Warranty card. I also got the 28mm and 35mm lenses. The 28mm was missing the warranty card. The 35mm had a warranty card for a 50mm vice the 35mm. Grey market - not sure. All work excellent, focus and auto focus and stabilization. Recommended.
- Reviewed in Canada on November 30, 2024Verified PurchaseThis lens is fun to use but the distortion is + distortion correction in camera for this lens leads to some really bad corrections happening in the corners. If you're a serious photographer or videographer I would skip on this lens. If you're just creating content for fun than it will be ok.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great lens for indoor shooting
Verified PurchaseThe f2.8 aperture is great for low light and indoor shooting conditions. POV is similar to the iphone main camera on an APSC sensor. Great for travel too. The size is exactly same as the 50mm f1.8.
