24mm lenses are the entry into ultra-wide angle photography and this lens is the ideal starting point. It is extremely sharp and offers superior correction of linear distortion, and its f/2.8 aperture makes it easy to use with slow, fine-grain films or in low light. It focuses as close as 10 inches (25cm), and for many photograhers gives the ideal combination of a wide-angle "look" without excessive perspective distortion.

Love this lens on my 7d . First off I have to do some micro adjustment of -6 to get the full potential of the lens. Its a keeper for sure. CA is tollerabe and can be easily fixed .
Good lens for street photography or indoor in reasonable light. Light and compact in this day of bulky multi pound lenses. USM missed. 24mm appears to be the new 35mm.
