Positive feedback also highlights its ease of use and the suitability of its focal length for portraits. While some users noted chromatic aberration and occasional focus issues, these concerns were less prevalent than the positive reviews.

    This lens was decent for the price but is not a great lens. I ended up returning it to the the new 85mm f/1.4 which I absolutely love. That lens was $1,600 dollars though and this one was only $500. It's an ok lens but you're gonna get what you pay for.
