This lens is super sharp starting at f2.8. Great for low-light photography. I appreciate the compact, light-weight design. The focus ring turns 180 degrees!!! This is very rare in the era of AF lenses where MF operation takes a back seat. However, this makes AF slightly slower, for example compared the 50/1.8. Fine by me as I prefer greater MF precision.
This is the lens that Nikon and Canon users can only wish they had. It will always have a place in my bag.
What's great about it: Light-weight, excellent optics, 180 degree focus range
What's not so great: none
I would recommend this to a friend!

for anyone looking to add a nice portrait lens to their collection, this is the lens you want...look at the graphs, look at the online reviews, then look with your own eyes...shooting into the light cropped in at 100%...you will get a little magenta CA that's easily taken care of in post...and the AF tends to hunt in low light situations, the lightweight feature makes it great if you're doing pet or children where capturing a moving subject is part of it...i really think you'll love this lens if you're looking for sharp images without having to take out a second to get them
What's great about it: sharp, lightweight,
What's not so great: slight CA, AF tends to hunt
I would recommend this to a friend!
