comment:It's one of the best lens I own. It's a real pleasure to take pictures with it and, even if a little bit too long, it's perfect for portraits.

It's also very handy and light, and it's important not to forget this feature when you travel with it.

Maybe an old fashion lens, but razor sharp and capable of stunning results.
