So I gives you the context: total beginner in photography with a reflex hand! J'viens just leave my small compact gun that satisfy me well at photo quality. But hey, I am weary of not being able to play with the camera settings. And here, I find myself with a EOS 1000D and this objective. Conclusion: Well it's not bad to begin with. Not too expensive, photographs obtained with are overall quite pleasant. Of course, sometimes, the compact (I come from the as to time) I better (any car). Well, I do not question the objective but rather my settings to me ... :)
