comment: | Great little lens. Shares the IQ flavour of the Sigma 45i. AF is silent and good, maybe not as good as the latest greatest GM lenses, works for me. Will I miss a large aperture, maybe at times. But this lens delivers wide open on sharpness and contrast. Plus bokeh is better to my taste as the Sony 1.8/85 and Batis 1.8/85. |

comment: | This is the fourth DG DN Contemporary prime I've bought. I've also been impressed by their Contemporary varifocal lenses. Maybe I should consider L-mount camera especially now that they have adopted phase-detect AF. This lens looks like a slightly longer version of the 45mm F2.8, which has been my favorite little all-around prime. "MADE IN JAPAN" This lens is just behind their 65mm F2 for overall sharpness. It is the best lens I've used over 65mm so far. Like the 45mm it is only F2.8. Overall a very impressive little lens. Highly recommended. |
