ownership: | I own this lens |
compared to: | - Minolta 50/1.7 - SMC Tak 50/1.4 |
price paid: | 200 EUR |
positive: | + sharp even wide open + small + good price |
negative: | - bokeh is not so good |
comment: | Not much to say. The bokeh could be better wide open, but I guess you can't have everything for this much money. Good for street shooting on FF, not so suitable for portraits due to bokeh issues. Sharpness is OK all over the FF frame. I had the opportunity to use 2 lenses for some time, and their variations was marginal. |
