This is a really good lens. It's fast aperture allowed me to take sharp pictures even with really low light. On an crop body (400D) it is the ideal walkaround lens if one want light and sharp (really close to a 50 mm on a full body). I found it good for portrait too, I've never been to keen on the 50 mm, too close for my liking. The blur background is also better with a nice shallow depth of field.

I picked up this lens after I was finding a 50mm prime too close for party portraits on my crop frame DSLR. I'm very pleased with it, it's perfect for that application and many others besides. I use if for product photography and it is tack-sharp. It's also a great walkabount lens when weight is an issue. At f2 it has a pleasingly shallow depth of field which I was not expecting from a wideangle. There is some distortion at the edges but as long as portraits are kept towards the centre it's not an issue.

I could go on about this lens until I was blue in the face. It's simply a wonderful piece of kit and really should be the first addition to your kit after buying something like the 400D. 35mm x 1.6 is roughly the same as a 50mm on a full frame camera, so it makes for an ideal prime lens.
It's a little slow to focus and rather noisy in doing so; purple fringing is also an issue on occasion. Other than these minor issues it's near perfect at such a price. I tended to find with the stock lens that the flash was constantly in use and photos looked like (very good) holiday snaps as a result. The aperture on this means that this is almost never an issue. My only regret is discovering this 9 months after I bought my 400D.

This lens is fabulous, it makes a wonderful standard on Canon x1.6 sensor cameras, light and compact. The sharpness even at f2 is superb, on a x1.6 camera star images are sharp and round right to the edge of the frame, very impressive at any price point. Frankly this lens would be a bargain at twice the price. If you're interested in a 35mm lens for your Canon I really wouldn't think twice about getting this one - highly recommended
