Canon 28mm f/2.8 vs 28mm f/1.8
I really like my Canon 35mm f/2.0 lens, and I'm considering expanding my lens kit with a 28mm prime. I don't know which way to go, though--the 28mm f/2.8 or the 28mm f/1.8? I'd appreciate hearing any thoughts on or seeing images taken with either lens.

EF28F1.8 USM EF28F2.8 thoughts: Why 28 ? awful close to 35, I would vote for the EF24mmF2.8  The 28F1.8USM is build much like the 50mmF1.4, the 28F2.8 (and the 24F2.8 for that matter) resembles the build of the 35F2.0 (or the 50F1.8 Mark *I*) Image quality of both is reasonable for the money, corner sharpness and flare/CA can be issues with both, depending on how open you want to shoot them... ...just *my* €0.02 worth...

I think Canon needs to start putting IS in all its lenses, by the way, not just the longer ones. |

Re: Canon 28mm f/2.8 vs 28mm f/1.8
you can look into the original size pictures photo by the 2 lens, review the picture details, then you will know which is better to buy.

Re: Canon 28mm f/2.8 vs 28mm f/1.8
@Max: Good to know.
I had the 28 f/1.8 but sold it as I didn't use it enough - I've read the 2.8 is optically better (as is the 35mm). |

Re: Canon 28mm f/2.8 vs 28mm f/1.8
I have the 28mm F2.8 and it's the one Canon lens that doesn't really impress me. Certainly my 24-105L is significantly sharper at the same focal length right across the aperture range. Leaving questions of sharpness to one side though, I've never been that enamoured with 28mm as a focal length and find 24mm much more interesting.
