There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
It is super light, super sharp, GREAT depth of field, and just over all what I was looking for. The issues with night photography are what I expected when seeing the reviews and knowing it is the cheaper version of an ultra wide angle lens. I'm happy with what I got and am looking forward to having more fun with it.

I can also say with experience that, while not the equal of the RF 15-35mm f/2.8L for image quality, it produces similar enough results for most folks at 16mm.

Of course there are better options, but taking into account the price, it’s a great starting point before investing 2000 in a pro lens.
