This lens has overtaken my 85mm 1.4 as my favorite portrait lens. The depth of field on portraits is second to none. I used to think my 70-200 has a 135, but the difference between 2.8 and 1.8 is amazing. Love this lens, and although expensive, it's worth it.
This was the first GMaster prime lens I bought and I absolutely love it? The image and build quality of this lens is second to none. I am so glad I purchased this lens and it's always in my camera bag on every assignment. Low light is never a problem and the images are always outstanding.
This lens is perfect in so many ways. Perfect sharpness, perfect focal length, perfect bokeh. Now, I know that’s a subjective statement, but of all my lenses it’s my first choice for so many subjects. From concerts to portrait work, low light situations to indoor sports including volleyball and basketball. I just love the end results.
I use this as a pro sports photog and am extremely happy with the results. Perfect for tennis, basketball around half court away, and any low-light venue where you might want better light than a 70-200 2.8. Fast AF and super sharp. Exceptional bokeh on an A1.
Great lens with tack sharpness. Very fast focus and creates amazing results. Disappointed in the process of trying to keep the firmware updated. It continues to shut the update software down and asks me to restart the process.
