Pros:
|
Stunning Colours, Contrast and low-light performance, lightweight.
|
|
Cons:
|
- Pricy for poor amateur like me, but the results more than balance it.
- 'plain' 56mm on 1.6x Sensors like my 40D

After shooting mostly with (quality) zooms, I saw some pictures with the 35mm that made me reconsider good quality primes.
I'm a typical 'lazy' amateur and was fearful of the walking back and forth with a fixed prime.
Have this lens now 5 days, so I have no hands-on experience considering build-quality.
But the pictures!! The colour and contrast of this lens make short work of my 24-105 4.0L en 70-200 IS 2.8L. They really pale in comparison.
I really really love this lens already and it has reopened my view on primes and composure in general. Very definitely a keeper!!
Only downside is the rather ordinary 56mm view on my 40D. This lens really makes me consider FF bodies just for this lens!!
