comment:	I like this lens because of its weight and size. But also its performance from f2 to 3,5 is amazing, and DOF games in such focal lenght come in handy as well. This lens is pretty sharp at 2,0 /difficult to observe due to shallow DOF/, and gets better and better stopped down. I am very satisfied with this purchase, and will let go my zoom 24-70 together with purchase of 50/1,4. update: now I have returned from the mountains, and I have to tell you, that the flare control is very very poor. I really dont like it.
