The Lens details of a series of images taken by Steve Cushing on mirrorless camera.

Fitting is a Canon EF mount with a 44mm Flange Distance - this lens will fit and achieve focus to infinity mirrorless cameras and on most DSLRs.

Summary

I do not own many zoom lenses as I prefer prime lenses for composition and quality rendition, but I do own this one as it gives flexibility in wide angle shots which are less common in my photography style. The vertical lines stay vertical which is very unusual with a wide angle lens.
