    Purched this lens after viewing a few reviews,...for the price point of under $600 it's one of the most ideal lenses for portraits.

    Nice bokeh on this lens. The only reason to spend more for the 1.4 g master is if you are a pro that does lots of portraits.

    I really liked this lens but instead opted for the G Master version. This is the way to go for the price point.
