Canon EF 28mm f/2.8
$270.00
Released February, 2006
The Pros:Tiny and lightweight. Affordable. F/2.8 - standard professional aperture, good low light performance and the ability to isolate a closer subject.
The Cons:Lacks a USM (ultrasonic motor) - slower and noisier to autofocus. Poor for manual focusing. Only a 5-blade aperture - bokeh isn't very sexy.
The Canon EF 28mm f/2.8 is a mid-range wide angle camera lens similar to the Canon EF 24mm f/2.8. The major difference between the two lenses (besides the obvious focal length difference of 4mm) is that the EF 28mm f/2.8 features a high-precision aspherical lens to correct for aberrations.

Otherwise, the two lenses sport the same rear lens focusing system and f/2.8 focal ratio.
The EF 28mm f/2.8's high-precision aspherical lens provides clearer, sharper images as it minimizes distortion and other aberrations. Its rear lens focusing system provides the EF 28mm f/2.8 with excellent linear distortion correction as well as easy and precise manual focus adjustment. Additionally, the EF 28mm f/2.8's f/2.8 focal ratio provides excellent performance in low light and with fine-grain film.
