great little tele August 2, 2010

This is a lovely little - yes, little in the world of monster zooms - short telephoto lens. Sharp as a tack with beautiful bokeh. I love the "old school" screw-in metal (gasp!) hood. You can just keep it on in combination with a UV filter cram it in your bag and not have to worry about using the lens cap. Brilliant.
It is fast to focus, if a little noisy, and the focus ring turns when it focuses. But ya know what? I actually prefer hearing and feeling my lenses focus. I've had AF-S lenses and was often at a loss trying to figure out if they had focused or not.
My only complaint is that I wish the close-focus limit was shorter. I often find I have to back up to get into focus. A good set of close-up filters fixes this, but they're not exactly convenient.

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.
