This lens deserves all the accolades it gets, it is this good. Canon users frequently use an adapter to be able to use this lens, so it’s not off-limits to our Canon photography brothers and sisters.The obvious drawbacks are there – heavy, does not accept screw-in filters, and expensive.

There is very minor light falloff to the corners at the wider end when also used at 2.8, but it’s hardly noticeable to all but the most strict pixel peepers.Color distribution and contrast is well managed…I have never noticed significant color fringing (chromatic aberration) at any f stop, even in…
