Verdict
At the optimal focus distances the EF 24mm f/2.8 is an excellent performer capable to deliver
images as sharp as it gets on an 8MP APS-C DSLR. For most situations this is generally true
but residual spherical aberration can be a problem at close-focus distances (as explained
in the MTF chapter above). Other than that vignetting is a little on the high side at f/2.8
but no issue beyond and the slight barrel distortions are usually very acceptable as well.
The construction quality is decent though not stellar.
So at the end of the day it remains an excellent lens ... with a little bug.
