This is a very fine lens. The sharpness is incredible and impressive for maintaining such a high level not only through the aperture range but from close to far distances. Focus speed is at a pro level response. Resistance to flare, ghosting, veil, etc. is very high.

This lens is totally fabulous particularly, for low light work. I tried it out at a stage performance this past summer and immediately returned it to the rental shop with money in hand.

When a lens is as well-designed as this one, the purchase (or rent) decision comes down to whether or not the provided focal length is a useful addition to the kit and whether or not the price tag can be afforded.

I got lucky to get the lens so early. What a beast of a lens. Took out to the park and it it performed amazing. Shot a wedding with it and it was great. I had to get used to the distance from subject on full body portraits. Cant wait to shoot with it again.

Awesome lens!!! It does take a little getting used to in that you have to stand a little further back from you subject to obtain the same composure as an 85 mm or 50 mm lens. The clarity is outstanding and this is sure to be my new favorite lens.

Too many to state along with awesome clarity; quality build; outstanding Bokeh

Heavy - not necessarily a con; but you will definitely get a workout from carrying this solid lens
