Canon EF 28mm f/1.8 USM

I have to admit, this lens is soft wide open and CA is quite bad controlled. If you take photos for the web resolution (like samples here), it doesn't matter because it won't be noticeable (and people will LOVE your photos because of nice DoF and bokeh), but I don't recommend this lens, if you want to print your photos (A4 or bigger) and/or do some cropping of the original picture.

I've recently visited our city center with my friends in Poland and covered it only with a 28 1.8. ...

Beautiful work, including the B&W conversions.

Nothing special, lots of blacks in Lightroom.

This lens is great

Got this lens last week just before my weekend trip to Chicago. Took over 300 shots and was so very happy. The shots I took outside at night were just perfect. Will post a few after I finish editing and converting.

As a beginner, I am very pleased with the results of this lens with my T1i.

Woo-hoo!!!

I think I am about to start a long and meaningful friendship with this lens.

I'm sure I will be able to find faults with it, but the FOV is right, the size is great, its f/1.8 is quite usable for my purposes and IT FREAKIN' FOCUSES.

I do actually have some duckies around here but as dinner is nigh I was drawn to the kitchen:

I got this lens less than two weeks ago, bought specifically to use on a weekend trip to Chicago, wanted something wide enough, able to handle low light and light enough to carry all weekend - it did not disappoint. I love this lens!

A sample from indoor shooting and outdoor at night....

Michgirl, I like that first one. Was that with the 270EX? What are the settings for those two? I can't get EXIFs.

I did not take the 270 with me, that was on-board flash shot in P with ISO 400, 1/80 @ f/1.8. The second was no flash, P again with 800 ISO 1/30 @ f/1.8. What I find amazing at this lens, even without IS, hand held shots are pretty sharp. When I first started shooting with DSLR, camera shake plagued me like crazy, even with IS.

Wow. In the first, you really dispel the notion that the pop-up flash is useless. B&W probably helped a lot, but I just love it for what it is. In the second, handheld at 1/30? Great job! That speaks for you, not the lens.

Thanks! Here is the shot straight out of the camera, no adjustments at all - I do use the pop-up flash quite often and think it does a pretty good job.
