This is an excellent lens — pro-grade sharp — at a brother-in-law price. I got one a couple of years ago and haven’t regretted it for a second. Handles “normal lens” angle-of-view stuff beautifully.
Primes like this one are definitely bang for the buck lenses!
Yes, they really are. BTW, I should clarify that in saying this 24mm ens is normal angle of view, I lean toward the wide-view end of things. This 24mm for an APS-C sensor approximates the field of view of a 35mm lens on a 35mm camera. For those who lean toward the longer focal length and narrower view, a 35mm APS-C lens would approximate the angle of view of a 50mm lens on a 35mm camera.
So, the short of it is I stated my wide-view preference in a way that could confuse (or annoy) many who would say a 35mm-equivalent angle of view is too wide for general shooting to be considered a “normal” lens.
Yes, I’m finding it useful too, I can capture “more things” (wider) over the 50mm equivalent, especially if one has the flexibility of moving closer/further-away to/from the subjects/objects as needed.
