Canon EF 28mm f2.8 IS USM review
By Ben Boswell - Wednesday, January 02, 2013 Lens Review| Introduction | Measurement | Comparisons | Conclusion |
With a DxOMark score of 26 the Canon 28mm ranks very high. It is the second best of all wide Canon lenses and, if you include independently made lenses, it still ranks 5th out of all canon fit wide lenses. The scores for P-MPix are even better, showing that this is a nice sharp optic, scoring 15P-MPix. If you narrow the field further and look for just 28mm lenses, this one is the top scorer.
The individual test results show a lens that is very consistent, the only place where the scores dip is when used with a small aperture when the resolution does fall off. Chromatic aberration is well controlled, distortion is not excessive transmission is excellent and vignetting, while noticeable when using the lens wide open is exactly what you would expect of a 28mm lens.

The second in our series of selecting the best-quality lenses for your camera concentrates on one of the most highly-anticipated cameras of our time, the successor to the hugely popular EOS 5D Mark II. But by the time it was announced, in early March, it’s probably fair to say Nikon had taken fair amount of interest away by announcing the 36M-Pix D800 and D800E models the month before. Be that as it may, there’s no denying the 22.3 M-Pix EOS 5D Mark III is a remarkably capable camera, and a formidable rival to the Nikon. |
