Model overview based on user reviews  
The Canon 28mm f/1.8 EF USM lens is appreciated for its wide aperture, which allows for good performance in low-light conditions and decent sharpness at close distances, particularly between 2-2.8. However, users have noted several drawbacks, including high chromatic aberrations, indistinct bokeh, and poor detail at long distances, making it less suitable for landscape photography. Additionally, using a UV filter can degrade sharpness. While the lens is mechanically sound and well-designed, some users feel it is overpriced for its performance, suggesting it is more appropriate for close-up shots or specific camera models that can correct chromatic issues. Overall, it is considered a normal model but not exceptional.

Cons

Not worth the money.

Lens for close distances (half-length portrait, small groups on the crop). It might be good on a camera that corrects chrome (5dm3)
Aperture. Good sharpness at close distances (up to 2 meters) at 2-2.8. Mechanics, design.
Chromatic aberrations are high. Indistinct bokeh. Poor detail at long distances, not suitable for landscapes. A UV filter (not a cheap one) degrades sharpness.
