    The lens just came and I couldn't wait to use it. Just took some cute pix of the dog without a flash indoors at a fairly high ISO. So nice.

    Pictures taken with this lens are clear and crisp. This is not a zoom lens. Therefore the picture will be in the same ratio as viewewd in the viewfinder.
