Canon EF 20mm f2.8 USM Wide Angle Lens Reviewed At Ephotozine

January 26, 2006

Canon’s EF 20mm f/2.8 USM lens has been reviewed at Ephotozine and here’s the verdict. “As a wide-angle lens for cropped sensors, this lens falls a little short, with virtually all of the standard zooms giving a wider angle of view. However, on the full frame sensors that Canon are now producing, this lens still warrants its place in their line-up. Nice results combined with ease of use will ensure it will stay there for some time to come.” In summary, the positive points of the EF 20mm f/2.8 USM are: - Good build and finish - Nice focal length on Full Frame cameras - Silent and fast autofocus. - Good image quality

The negative points are: - Not that useful on cropped sensors. - Stiff manual focus ring (on example tested) - Distortion worse than on modern designs (minor point) - Hood not included with lens
