Pros:
|
Relative to its price, everything positive: sharp, fast w/ constant 2.8, minimum distortion, flare and artifacts. Relatively small and light. Build quality and AF noise could be better, but then I'd expect to pay more for it, too.

my 3rd go-around with this lens. each copy has been excellent. maybe i've learned my lesson and will hold on to this one? interesting side note: my first copy was (i swear) a metal case. the last two have very much been plastic. maybe someone else can verify that this lens was produced at some time past with a metal case?

I use this lens in the house most times. Wide enough and fast enough and it won't break the bank (like 1.4 might)!
