Best Portrait Lens Ever! To get this quality of a lens, considering it was used for this price is almost like a dream come true. I have been eying this lens for almost a decade, now, to own it...wow. I have only taken a handful of pictures in extremely low light, but so far, I am totally confident in its abilities and the quality images it will provide.
Awesome, increadible image maker lens! There is nothing else out there to compare the sharpness and elegant image maker this lens is. It is the crown jewel of my little arsenal for portraits. I can go on an on about it, but you need to experience it. Period.
A Mount Warrior Still hold its value and performance since its inception...
