price paid:	190 EUR (used)
positive:	Speed Colors Weight Fixed length

comment:	It's superb lens. I really like it. It's very sharp even wide open. Only corners are sometimes little bit soft when shooting wide open, but I never found it annoying. I compared it with Minolta 50/1.7 and this lens is much better so I sold Minolta. I compared it with Minolta 50/1.4 too and Sigma wins again. Maybe it's little bit more expensive than Minolta 50/1.4 but it's much sharper and more useful on APS-C. This lens is really worth the price i paid.
