This is an awesome little lens. It’s superbly sharp from center to edge. It has moderate barrel distortion that can easily be corrected with PTlens. The bokeh is nice but that’s very subjective. F1.8 is a real lifesaver in low light. Recently I’ve done a lot of interior available light shooting with my D300s at ISO 1600 to 3200 using this lens at F1.8 to F2.8. It’s amazing. Add a little noise ninja and your good to go.
Good:
- Sharpness
- Fast glass
- Price
Bad:
- Plastic
- Auto focus sounds like asthmatic weasel
- Occasionally non-correctable CA
In my opinion all the Good outweighs the Bad.
