| comment: | I find this lens fun, and unless I really need that extra bit of light that a f/1.7 will get me with the 50, I tend to reach for this one these days. On the crop sensor, the range is interesting. It brings new meaning to the "get closer" mantra and as soon as I convinced myself that being as close was OK, I found I really liked what this lens was doing. It's sharp, has a nice and interesting range, good colour. I like the feel of it in my hand. I wish it was wider, but that's the thing about APS-C. Better bokeh than some others I've tried, which is to say I've not noticed it being bothersome. |
