quality for the price
botatoeSharp as a tack great build guilty. All a round good lens. Feels like lens from Canon L but at half the cost
ElvisCVery good value for not a bad lens, but I don't think it requires another twelve words before I can submit
Mike JamesIf your half-way serious about shooting video with your DSLR and don't have a big budget, this lens really does live up to the hype.Sharp enough for web content,( maybe not good enough if your footage is going to be on a 40ft cinema screen ), and perfectly good for the kind of jobs anyone without funding will be doing.The smooth iris control is a joy - you won't want to go back to hard stop lenses after you try this.Two caveats - First , if you have a follow focus, the lens may not be long enough to reach the gear wheel. I have a cheap FF, but could change the side the gear wheel mounts on, so its worth checking if this is important to you.Really, its a small gripe for what you get with the lens.Second - As with using old lenses that don't have a chip that your fancy new EOS body can " talk " to, this lens requires you to press the shoot button when connected because the camera body will question if you have a lens attached.Again, a minor point - just make sure you set the sleep mode on your camera to " off ", or you'll have to keep resetting when the camera shuts off.If you've been shooting DSLR video with a variety of lenses, all these are minor quirks, with work - arounds that you'll be used to.The image quality is great on both my 7D and 5D mk 3 - particularly rich on the full frame.When the budget allows, I'll be back for the 35mm and the rumoured release of the 50 mm sometime this year.

The lens is of a high-quality design. The metal housing is very robust and convinces with its noble optical appearance. The glass lenses of the lens are coated and thus ensure a brilliant contrast and sharpness range as well as a well-rounded colour balance. The particularly high-quality optics of the lens ensures optimal image results. The lens hood prevents lateral incident stray light and lens reflections.
