Best Canon EF-S lens?
8

I came to the conclusion that this lens is actually the best general use Canon EF-S lens. It is very sharp, pleasant background blur, useful equivalent focal length for most situations, silent and smooth AF - works great with DPAF, very effecrive OIS for both photos and videos (even when panning), small, lightweight and affordable. Unique built in LED lights are actually quaite useful and effective for macro subjects (non-live ones perharps).This is the only non-L lens to include lens hood? Really I can’t think of anyting negative to say about this little gem, it is much better than nifty fifty with far more useful focal length and it is also quite a bit nicer than EF-S 24mm wich has somewhat flat rendering. If you want one lens do it all, this is it: portraits, close ups, food, video, family, travel, etc.
