This lens is VERY rugged. I have used it for the last 3 years hiking the desert and mountains surrounding Phoenix Arizona, with no issues. I have dropped the SL1 it is attached to, thrown it in the back of a Subaru, and at a wide range of temperature extremes. All with flawless photos.

I picked up one of these during a summer sale, simply couldn’t refuse a 35% discount. I wasn’t sure about how I’d use this lens, as I generally walk around with the EF-S 18-200 or the EF 35mm IS USM, so it sat in my bag for about a month. Then we went on a family vacation, and I decided to give it a proper try. This lens is probably the best daytime street/vacation lens I’ve ever tried, always extremely sharp, useful field of view, quick and quiet AF, small and light, and has nice bokeh if you decide to go really close for a macro shot. If your camera body has digital IS, it can be used for video too. The only real weakness of this lens is that it lacks built in image stabilising, and this, combined with the f2.8 maximum aperture, will make it quite challanging to take handheld pictures after sunset. Absolutely lovely lens for the price, especially if one can catch a nice discount.

At least not on my copy. the chromatic abberation and vignetting are gone with two mouse clicks in Lightroom. It is not as sharp as the Sigma 17-50 F2.8 but still very nice indeed.

A review very well done, CF. Thank you for that. I'm a big fan of pancakes. They help in making the leap in taking your gears out for a shoot on any day. Perfect for travels. I would say, 80% of the market out there are photo enthusiasts and do not need the higher cost, higher performance lenses. The pancakes would do most of the job. It's always better to work within your constraints than to focus on the have-nots in your gears.

It allows me to take pictures of subjects closer to me better than my plastic fantastic 50mm lens does, and it doesn't distort people enough to make it undesirable for that purpose. I got some pretty Bokeh with it when photographing things close up.

The lens can also be used now on Sony E mount with a suitable adapter eg MBones and is a very small package even with the adapter. It is or can be similar to the Sigma 30mm f2.8 or the Samyang 35mm f2.8 which is physically tiny but neither have the close focus ability of the 24. Not sure if the FOV with the slightly more zoomed duo will make up for the close focus ability of the 24mm.

Excellent review. This lens is now on my shopping list as I have an APS-C camera -Canon 70D- and when using my 50mm sometimes I have to get far away from certain subjects. I´m looking for a lens that is sharper than the 18-135mm kit lens, lighter in weight, affordable and that is as close as a 35mm on a Full Frame Camera. This one seems like a winner!

Really enjoyed that review. Thank you! I've been looking to get this lens, but I'm interested in your thoughts: I have the 18-135 STM kit lens, as well as the 50 f/1.8. The 18-135 is definitely very heavy to walk around with, and that's why I was looking to the 24. But lately I've been thinking that I'll miss a little zoom for general purpose photography - especially since i'd be taking this out and about, away from the rest of my gear. I don't have the 18-55 kit lens, but it's about the same price as this 24 lens. And the f/4 at 24mm is probably similar, given that it has IS. It's 7.2 oz instead of 4.2 oz, but combined with the camera that doesn't seem like much. Any thoughts??
