..don't expect sharpness wide open unless you plan very carefully. Beautiful transition from focused area outward- this lens' specialty. A lot of chromatic aberration remains @ f/ 1.4 in high contrast areas, necessitating correction in post if you suffer from pixel-peeperism.

I am very happy with my purchase.
Pros: Drawing Is An Excellent, Light intensity, Af Is Fast, The Focus Is On A Quiet, Excellent Pokeh, Focus Can Very Cons: Is Not A Macro Other thoughts: The lens is optically as good as new even though it is refurbished. The product was involved in UV filter and lens hood.

A great Upgrade from a kit lens
My first new lens since I bought my camera (D7000 inc 18-105) works amazingly just what I wanted, took a while to get used to fixed focal length and the capability's of this lens but gets some amazing shots.

Excellent prime lens.
For beginners remember this is a prime lens so there is no zoom available. Have to move your feet to frame your shots. The upside to prime lens is that the image quality can't be beat.
Pros:
- Fast prime lens, general focal length good for lots of shooting scenarios
- Superb image quality
Cons:
- Really can't go wrong having this lens especially on full frame camera

Nice for nighttime street photography
I have found this lens to be the perfect companion for nighttime portraits of street people in Las Vegas. I use it with a D7100 and it gives me the perfect reach for finding subjects in the crowds of Fremont Street. This is the perfect FX lens to use on a DX body. It is clean, fast, and sure.

Superb Lens
Superb lens, i can't stress enough the importance of having a 50 mm lens and this is perphas the best you can buy in a 50 mm category. However I was not very satisfied with the packaging, the packing looked old, though the lens inside was brand new.

Great Lens
images here are from a sports banquet that had very low lighting. I took the shots without flash. the brighter one was processed using the "one step photo fix" option in Corel Paintshop Pro
Pros:
- Crisp Images
- Exceptional In Low Light
- Fast / accurate auto-focus
- Nice Bokeh

Flawed Genius
Perfect all rounder that's sharp corner to corner from f1.4 up and perfect for portraits on a DX body. Just let down by it's pedestrian and sometimes hesitant auto focus and its plastic body which I'd thought ought to be better on a lens that costs the thick end of £300 However I'd rather have...
Cons:
- Slow Focus

Solid Nifty Fifty
This is an awesome little lens for the price. However, it's worth would massively depend on what you're buying it for. if like me you're using it on things like shooting wedding parties, then it is worth splasing out for the F1.4 G.
