Advantages: Dynamic, great build quality, very little distortion

Disadvantages: Shadow cast when used in conjunction with built in flash

This was the 3rd lens I purchased after the kit lens. It is the widest lens you can get other than a fisheye(that is made by canon). Sigma make a cheaper one(10-20mm), but I'm really glad I went for the canon, the extra 2mm comes in really handy, it has made all the difference in some instances and of course the build quality is really great. I love shooting landscapes with this lens and the ultra wide angle can be really fun when shooting portraits.
There isnt really much to criticise about this lens, only a little bit of distortion at 10mm and sometimes you might wish there was some IS. Just remember, if you are going to be using built in flash, then there will be a shadow cast by the lens - but that is the case for most zoom lenses(perhaps not the kit lens though).
In conclusion: Good build quality, really dynamic and a lot of fun!

Summary: One of my favourite lenses, it is on my camera 90 percent of the time.
