I think this is a great lens for the price, but haven't seen any other post of a great lens at a "bargain" price. Obviously the nifty fifty isn't a L glass, but the quality of photos have been remarkable given the $80.00 price. 310d

When compared to the 16-35 F2.8L, the 17-40 performs quite well for half the price. While it not an inexpensive lens it is a good bargain. Website: http://www.jbradcampbell.com/

If you try and get another Canon lens with the same focal range - you're looking at $600 instead of $100 or less for the EF-S. 5D, Drebel, EOS-3, K1000

Of course, other brands like the Tamron 28-75 f2.8 is also considered a really good buy. Or the BIGMA from Sigma. Nothing beats the nifty fifty though.....for the price, it is the ULTIMATE bargain. Ro1 I agree ... Bruce

That is why they are half price. I suppose if you live where the sun shines . . . they would be fine. But for those who work early, late, or with cloudy and or overcast conditions you need 2.8 at best. Faster if you got 'em. "With Some Practice . . .
