" ...  I am so glad I bought this lens. ... If only there were cheap wider angle EF-S lenses. ... My Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 is one of the best walk around zooms for EF-S, but at the same settings, my primes are way sharper and brighter. ... Before getting this 24mm, my other primes are a Canon 50mm f/1.8 and Sigma 30mm f/1.4. ... I need fast lenses. ... This Canon EF-S 24mm pancake lens is SO good! ... It lets in a lot of light like my other Canon lens. ... (My Sigma’s t-stop isn’t as low as compared to my 50 and 24mm lenses but it’s still very good. ... I’ve also had the Sigma 30mm for three times as long as my Canon 50mm, so maybe me having dropped the Sigma a couple times probably makes a difference :-o)  ...  "

" ...  I’ve since returned and ordered a new one and I’m much happier with the quality and focus. ... Focusing is quick and objects in focus are sharp.  ...  "

" ...  It's a good walk-around lens, but sometimes I miss the flexibility of a zoom lens - particularly when photographing subjects that move around a lot like kids & pets. ... I get crisp shots with a decent amount of bokeh when wanted.  ...  "
