A top quality, affordable, macro lens.

 

I use this lens mainly for portraits and for macro photograpy. I always achieve perfect focus on both manual and auto. So far ,I have discovered no cons to this lens. Superb.

A mediocre lens

 

I have this lens for quite some time. The autofocus system suffers. With the focus limiter engaged, very often it is diffucult for the lens to focus, even in daylight. Also, the lens is not fully corrected for chromatic aberration and this results in...

A Great Lens

 

It has been a long time since I have used a prime lens and had forgotten what a joy they are, although a few times I have tried to zoom in. The lens is well built and much heavier than the supplied zoom. Macro shots have been very pleasing, which is...

Excellent, versatile lens.

 

I bought mine secondhand elsewhere, but it deserves a few words here as it has quickly become my favourite lens! This lens replaced my cheap (but reasonable) Nikon f1.8, and it's better in every respect, from build to image quality. It's as sharp as a...

Consumer review (shopping.com)

Had two of these; VERY BAD so far

 

Maybe I have been unlucky with this lens as I have had very poor results. Surprising really when I have read good things about it from other users.

Price, F2.8 throughout, compact size, minimum focal distance

Horrendous unreliable focusing, appalling colour fringing

Consumer review (shopping.com)

a surprisingly good lens and well worth the money

 

I have never been a huge fan of third party lenses, mostly because I always felt that the stuff made by Nikon and Canon was superior in almost every way (except price). I still hold that position with equipment designed for film, but the recent advent...

Speed, SUPERB CONSTRUCTION!, ergonomics, value, performance

noisy focus, slower focus than Nikons, 67mm filters
