I purchased this lens for a trip to Scotland. It performed better than expected. I like its low profile, which makes it easy to travel with. It was paired with a Canon R6 and I am looking forward to using this lens on my next trip.

The f2.8 aperture is great for low light and indoor shooting conditions. POV is similar to the iphone main camera on an APSC sensor. Great for travel too. The size is exactly same as the 50mm f1.8.

I'm a full-time, working professional shooting on the R platform, so I picked this up.And honestly, I'm a little bit blown away. Image quality isn't like what you would find from an L lens, but that shouldn't be expected for the money. But, it is good enough.F 2.8 is bright enough to keep your ISO and noise level down, and the focus speed on this is never been an issue even when shooting sports.This thing is so small, it's hard to argue with its capabilities and functionality. A small, wide angle is perfect for a gimbal, and I particularly loved using this and not only my R6 ii, but my R7 wheel it was a 24mm equivalent.It's a great little lens, and I think it serves as a perfect entry level wide-angle lens, or a backup or niche use case lens for professionals.

This is my new favourite lens for video. I bought a Canon R8 and didn't want to use an adapter for my old lenses, otherwise i may as well have gone with a crop camera. This lens is amazing. Crisp, sharp images, great auto focus and feels nice in the hand. I definitely recommend it. It handles excellent in low light.

I use this on my Canon R6. I got this specifically for street photography to take in more of the landscape without having to run back and forth. As far as the image quality, there aren’t too many surprises. It’s not L series so I’m not expecting it. Great lens at a great price.

I love this lens for minimal lifestyle photographs (with space around the subject) although it does have a little bit of a fish eye vibe (dark vignette) which I don't LOVE but it's manageable in post-production :) so not a huge con - I'd still recommend!

Wanted a small, wide angle, light carry lens for R5. This little lens is as sharp as my 15-35 EF L lens. In addition has very little edge distortion... Highly recommend..

The 16mm on APSC about a 26mm shot and it works perfect with my canon r50. The image stabilization works great and has quiet motors. Macro shots look amazing.

I love having a wide-angle lens, and this one is still one of the best buys for the Canon RF system. Image quality is plenty good enough for my needs. Automatic profile corrections take care of distortion, and the 2.8 aperture is plenty wide enough for dark shooting environments. (I've taken several astrophotography shots with this lens that I absolutely love.) With this and the RF24-240mm lens, I've got a pretty complete kit for traveling.

Let me get this out of the way first. I had to place an order twice because the first lens I received kept coming up with an "Error Code 01" which meant there was a faulty connection between the lens and my Canon EOS-R body. I knew it was not the body because my only other RF lens (the 24-105mm f/4L) worked perfectly fine with it. I did some trouble shooting and still could not get the lens to work. So, I set up a return through Amazon and placed another order immediately for the same lens. The second one arrived the next day and has worked without any issues.The lens build is what I expected for their inexpensive line. The body is mostly plastic, lightweight and comes with a lens cover. On a side note, I recommend getting a lens hood as it is not included. It will not only help reduce lens flare, but will also protect the lens when inadvertantly hitting/bumping into things (which I tend to do more often than not). The RF lenses, especially their less-expensive lineup, produce excellent image quality. And I purchased this lens to help tie me over until I can eventually get the premium level Canon 15-35mm f/2.8L lens.I use this lens mainly for large group photos because I do a lot of event photography and sometimes I don't have enough room to take a wide enough shot using my 24-105mm lens. As with lenses this wide, there is a fair amount of barrel distortion that can be fixed in post-processing, if needed. Images are clear and sharp with excellent color quality. Maybe not quite the same image quality as the premium L-series lenses (when doing some extensive pixel-peeping) but at $279 plus tax, I am more than pleased with the results and so are my clients. This is a solid lens to add to your RF lens lineup. Especially, if you're starting out and have a limited budget and/or you're slowly changing your lenses over from the EF and/or EF-S models. Great quality images and a great price.

Buen lente. Buena construcción y buena nitidez. Se nota la diferencia entre un lente de la serie L / RF pero aún así es muy buen lente. 9/10
