Rated 5 out of 5 stars by 8 users at B&H Photo Video

"Outstanding optics and excellent image quality across the frame. Highly recommended if you are looking for a wide angle especially under full frame."

"Optical performance is stunning, color fidelity under low light conditions is breathtaking. Another delightful feature of this optic is its extreme close-up capabilities that provide stunning macro performance."

"This lens is manual focus only.The lens is heavy for an ultra wide, so you may want to try it out prior to purchasing if you have a light camera body."
