    This is a great lens to take potraits, know about it and specific purpose of the lens before buying. Once you know how to work with lens without zoom it is excellent.

    Excellent general purpose lens for a full frame camera. Would make for a good portrait lens for a crop sensor. Great image quality for the price.

    Terrific lens to use in getting different shots. Blurring out some parts of scene makes for some outstanding effects.
