    This lens takes great sharp pictures, but has the worst chromatic aberration I've ever seen. Decided to go with the Tameron SP 85 1.8 and haven't looked back!

    This piece is a great add on for a semi-experienced to professional photographer. It provides great visual effects for portrait work and tight shots. There is no zoom function on this lense, so you may need to stand further back than seems appropriate for normal portraits or group shots. I would recommend this is used with a full frame camera.
