A stunning piece of glass for not much money
This lens is fabulous, it makes a wonderful standard on Canon x1.6 sensor cameras, light and compact. The sharpness even at f2 is superb, on a x1.6 camera star images are sharp and round right to the edge of the frame, very impressive at any price point. Frankly this lens would be a bargain at twice the price. If you're interested in a 35mm lens for your Canon I really wouldn't think twice about getting this one - highly recommended

Amazing
I could go on about this lens until I was blue in the face. It's simply a wonderful piece of kit and really should be the first addition to your kit after buying something like the 400D. 35mm x 1.6 is roughly the same as a 50mm on a full frame camera, so it makes for an ideal prime lens.

It's a little slow to focus and rather noisy in doing so; purple fringing is also an issue on occasion. Other than these minor issues it's near perfect at such a price. I tended to find with the stock lens that the flash was constantly in use and photos looked like (very good) holiday snaps as a result. The aperture on this means that this is almost never an issue. My only regret is discovering this 9 months after I bought my 400D.

pin-sharp
I picked up this lens after I was finding a 50mm prime too close for party portraits on my crop frame DSLR. I'm very pleased with it, it's perfect for that application and many others besides. I use if for product photography and it is tack-sharp. It's also a great walkabount lens when weight is an issue. At f2 it has a pleasingly shallow depth of field which I was not expecting from a wideangle. There is some distortion at the edges but as long as portraits are kept towards the centre it's not an issue.
