Good price, fast shipping. Loving this lens. Highly recommended. Came with matching Warranty card. I also got the 28mm and 35mm lenses. The 28mm was missing the warranty card. The 35mm had a warranty card for a 50mm vice the 35mm. Grey market - not sure. All work excellent, focus and auto focus and stabilization. Recommended.

Too much focus breathing and manual adjustment is not that good
Auto focus is fast and accurate 80%
And for manual focus not good
Video quality is very good as well but the most important is that it's light weight and tiny

Works well. It captures around 96° horizontal, 73° vertical. So if you take 360 panorama, 4 horizontal shots at every 90° will make one 360° tour (360°x73°) or 6 vertical photo at every 60° will cover 360° for one tour (360°x96°)
For spherical 360tour(360x180°), I take 3 horizontal shots at every 120° for upside and 6 vertical shots at every 60 for downside + 1 shot for nadir, Totally 10 shots cover everywhere for a 360x180 spherical panorama.

Wow this is wide! Nice to have this in my bag. I always had telephoto lenses, widest I have before this is a 50mm prime. First time having ultra wide so I'm a happy camper. This will be perfect for videos/vlogging and of course for indoor stills. Get one if you can.

This is a great wide angle lens which costs less money than others of equal quality. It is also a light lens which is a plus. I have tried this lens with a polarizer filter and I am very pleased with the images.

For the cost and its excellent portability this is a great lens. It's small, light, renders good color and has very good sharpness across the frame. The corners are less sharp than the center but this is true of most lens. To focus, this lens uses an audible STM motor. When it focuses you can hear a soft humming sound, this is normal. The lens focus speed is similar to all of the other Canon STM lens, not super fast but fast enough for many situations. If you focus stack or shoot video over you might want to know that the lens does focus breath a little. The lens is mostly plastic but still has a good feel and is built well enough for normal use. This lens does not have a weather seal on the camera mount like some of the higher end lens. The lens accepts 43mm sized threaded filters on the front. A lens hood is not included but may be purchased separately, it uses model: EW-65C. In summary, if you shoot with the Canon RF system you should strongly consider adding one of these to your camera bag! Update: the latest version of Adobe Lightroom now has built-in profiles for this lens!

It replace my Tamron 15-30mm 2.8 in my camera, enough weight difference to smile. Probably it give me same quality but I don't care about it, both have same image quality for me.

I don't still note differences in focus speed and its precision, I can't talk about this, but it work very fine at the moment

Lente impresionante, luminoso y a pesar de ser de 16mm, no distorsiona y además es macro. La foto de la flor, está tomada muy cerca a 2.8. Lente muy recomendable y a un buen precio y con pagos sin intereses
