Old tech for DSLRs -- the world has moved on to mirrorless.

And it's only for APS-C (smaller) sensors. Typically found in budget cameras.

Lacks any form of image stabilization in the lens, so hope your (old!) camera has it...!

At this price point, this lens is fun for playing around with ultrawide shooting, and it works fine at 16mm with an EF to R adapter. I personally don't expect to find a quality selection of modern generation mirrorless lenses below $200, but this lens still finds its way into my camera bag from time to time.

Full frame equivalents of 17.6mm-25.6mm isn't exactly ultra-wide by any measure. Talk to me when you get 10mm or 11mm full-frame.

An 11mm lens on APS-C is a 17.6mm full-frame equivalent, giving a 104° field of view.

According to professional education benchmarks like the CPP (Certified Professional Photographer) exam curriculum, standard wide-angle ends at 24mm. Anything wider than 24mm is classified as ultra-wide because it introduces distinct perspective distortion (converging verticals and volume deformation) that requires specific ultra-wide composition techniques.

Just because extreme 11mm full-frame lenses exist today doesn't change textbook optical definitions.
