    I was a little hesitant at first about this lens since it does not have IS. But since it is at f/1.8 it is fast enough to stop moving subjects. It's not an everyday lens but all in all a solid performer.

    I love this lens! I don’t know why so many people complain about not being able to take clear images. As for a lens that doesn’t have IS, this lens is fairly easy to manually stabilize and capture still images!
