Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I wanted a wide angle prime lens that I could take to parties where the shooting distance is always about the same and I could get higher quality pictures than with zoom lenses.Since this lens is fast, f/1.8, it focuses very quickly even in low light. It doesn't have an ultrasonic focusing mechanism, but focus speed is very fast and it has a clutch focusing ring so I can hold the lens and not interfere with the rotation of the focusing ring.The body feels very tight and well put together.The texture and feel are perfect. Picture quality is extremely good.The colors are natural and it's very sharp at 1.8 and is even better at 2.0 and above.Macro is excellent and since it has 9 curved aperature blades, the bokeh looks very pleasing.There is almost no distortion or abberation and focus is accurate.So even though this lens is a bit bigger and heavier than I would like in a prime lens like this, the benefits of brighter viewfinder (due to f/1.8), extemely sharp pictures and very good build quality makes it worthwhile purchase (especially for the price).
