    This is a mighty fine thing. In dark lighting, my hair would blend into the background with my old lens. But this lens lets in more light, so it stands out better.

    It’s good for taking portraits at short distances. Manual focus is ideal but difficult to capture moving objects at high resolution

    Terrible Customer Service at Best Buy 1410

    5 stars for the lens. Pound for pound, the best lens you can buy. If you are looking for the lens review, please stop here. I needed some assistance using a gift card that was associated with my account and it was ridiculous the way the store handled the situation. They had absolutely no clue on what they are talking about. Untrained, unprofessional, jerkish attitude people. Puke.
