Reviews

Great Buy!!5.0/5

Great Buy!! The lens was Mint as described...perhaps beyond. Very clean. Works the way it was designed to work. Good sharp images. Not a "D" model (which means the lens ability to inform the camera of distance) is not available but focuses right on. I'm happy with it!

Gets the job done.4.0/5

Gets the job done. This lens is really good for hobby guys like myself. At the $200+ price tag, you should get a good picture. The photos won't be super sharp, but they are extremely nice. At 2.8 this thing is it sent in low light. Me main reason for getting it is for video. The footage is great as well. Overall, if you don't have $750 for the 1.8g, this is the next best thing. I like it.

Excellent performer5.0/5

Excellent performer This lens is an excellent choice if you want to get close and still include plenty in the background. Also great when space is limited. It is more than fast enough for use with current digital cameras and has top notch contrast and sharpness.
