    Love this lens. As a street photographer I wanted a big lens that wouldn't bring too much attention to me. Great image quality for the price.

    Price point is awesome and the lens works with both full frame and crop sensor cameras. It focuses faster than the 1.4 and is half the price

    I think f1.8 says it all. The background blur because of the aperture is excellent. It is great for portrait photography. Just make to identify if you have an APS-c or a full frame camera because for APS-C this will make the focul length to 1.5x or 1.6x.
