Zitat: Dieses Standard-Weitwinkel für das KB-Format mutiert zum Normalobjektiv inklusive Bildstabilisator an der EOS 7D. Trotz des optischen Aufwands bleibt die Leistung mäßig und gewinnt auch beim Abblenden nur in der Mitte dazu – insgesamt mehr solide als großartig und eine knappe Empfehlung.

Zitat: Auch dieses Canon für 750 Euro wird mit Vollausstattung samt Stabilisator geliefert und macht einen guten Job. Allerdings könnte eine Festbrennweite mit 28 Millimetern etwas gleichmäßiger bis an den Bildrand arbeiten. Dennoch "Digital empfohlen".

Zitat: The Canon EF 28mm f/2.8 USM IS is, undoubtedly, a high performance lens with only a few weaknesses. The center performance is breathtaking and the border quality is also very good if you close the aperture by a stop or so. The lens is also capable of keeping its performance in close-focus scenarios. The low amount of lateral CAs contributes to the high sharpness perception as well. The lens produces a slight amount of mustache-style barrel distortion which is lower than most zoom lenses. The vignetting characteristic is a a weak spot - at max. aperture there´s quite a bit of light falloff so you should stop down to at least f/4 to reduce the issue to a more sane level (unless you´re after the effect, of course). The quality of the bokeh (out-of-focus blur) is often a problem on wide-angle lenses but the EF 28mm f/2.8 USM IS delivers comparatively smooth results here (although they are not as buttery as on some tele primes). Bokeh fringing can be visible at f/2.8 but this is, again, a lesser issue when stopping down. The build quality of the Canon lens is one a very high level with a constant physical length as highlight here. Typical for Canon USM lenses there´re no issues with respect to focus speed and noise, of course. The new image stabilizer is certainly a very welcome addition e.g. for low-light photography. So technically we certainly have a winner here ... except for the pricing. The street price (as of the time of this review) is about 700EUR/800US$. This is about 3x more compared to the old EF 28mm f/2.8 and you won´t even get a lens hood as part of the package. This is stretching things a little here in our opinion. Other than that ... highly recommended!

Zitat: The Canon EF 28mm f/2.8 IS USM is a capable but pricey wide-angle prime that will appeal most to landscape and reportage photographers looking for a small, lightweight and responsive lens. Despite its lack of an L-series billing, the Canon EF 28mm f/2.8 IS USM build quality is reassuring and it makes a good partner to a full-frame Canon DSLR like the 5D Mark III. Auto-focusing is quiet and quick, with the ability to override it and focus manually if required proving a nice touch. The capable image stabilisation system used in conjunction with a high-ISO monster like the 5D Mark III is a low-light shooter´s dream ticket, making it easy to hand-hold the camera and get the shot. Image quality is generally excellent. Chromatic aberrations are very well controlled, geometric distortion is impressively low for a wide-angle lens (unless you are focusing very close), and the Super Spectra coatings successfully prevent contrast loss attributable to flare, The only real optical issues are obvious corner shading at the maximum aperture, a lack of edge sharpness from f/2.8-5.6, and poor results in both the center and edges of the frame at the minimum aperture of f/22. If you can afford the rather hefty price-tag and don´t mind the non-L billing or sharpness fall-off at the edges of the frame, we can recommend the Canon EF 28mm f/2.8 IS USM as a great wide-angle prime lens for Canon full-frame DSLR owners.
