EF 20 mm f/2.8 USM
Originally posted 2006-10-15 on Optyczne.pl In the era of APS-C sensors a 20 mm instrument became an equivalent of a classic 35 mm lens. On the one hand a shorter focal length might suggest more problems with the image quality at the frame edge, especially when it comes to distortion and vignetting. Read more ...

Canon EF 20mm f/2.8 USM
The focal length of this prime lens from Canon is on the edge of ultra wide angle when used on a full frame sensor or the 35mm film it was originally designed for. Even on a cropped sensor, it provides a good angle of coverage. We take a look at how it performs. Read more ...

Panned by the press, So what?
Have had this lens since the mid 1990's when the street price was high. Yes there is corner falloff and vignetting in a 5D MKll, so what shoot around those limitations and you have one fine lens. Stacking filters is not a good idea. Read more ...

I am so glad I bought this lens that's now the default lens on my Canon 7D.
I use my Canon 7D mostly to shoot video. Mine came with a zoom that's totally mediocre and I bought right away a 50 mm 1.4 lens that works magic in low light situations. However 50 mm is too narrow in most situations. Read more ...
