I just shot my first real shoot with the F/1.8 and found it excellent in a low-light performance situation.

I like to use prime lenses at times, and this is perfect for portraits when used for film or digital cameras. The sharpness is great and I enjoy using it at large apertures which puts the background nicely out of focus. The auto-focus works well and rapidly. The cost is less than the 85mm 1.4 lens which would be my second choice. I find that I use this more and more instead of the heavy 80-200mm 2.8 lens.
 not for indoor sport action March 22, 2010

i bought this lens to shoot my son's basketball games in mostly indoor fluorescent lighting. the lens auto-focusing is not fast enough and is not the silent wave motion type. the picture color is just not natural regardless of WB setting or adjustment. and the picture is just not sharp enough.
on the other hand, portrait pictures taken with camera on a tripod and with correct lighting turn out excellent.
Excellent Portrait / Low Light Lens December 4, 2009

This is an excellent lens for portrait and low light photography. I used it to shoot a cheerleading group at a night stadium game - the portraits of the cheerleaders were sublime!!!
While I am better using my F2.8 70-200mm lens for football action photos, this lens was perfect for closeups and group shots of the cheerleaders.
I hope to use this lens for high school basketball. Can't wait.
Very pleased!!!!
