    Bought this lens for my wife and she loves it. We've had a good experience so far. It's good for up close portraits.

    This is a great update to the D version and makes a great alternative to the more expensive f/1.4 options from Nikon and Sigma.

    A really sweet lens!!! When a polarizing filter is added the colors are very vivid. When shooting in low light, a tripod or a real steady hand are needed. I kind of expected a little more sharpness in low light but, other than that a really great lens for the money!!

    The camera is great for portraits. Great for wanting a blurry background and a sharp subject.

    Wanted a lens more suitable for lower light levels so as not to have to use either internal or external flash units. With this f/1.8 maximum aperture, this allows me to use more of existing light levels without either having to boost ASA settings or to extend exposure times.

    The lens is exceptional in accomodatimg faster shutter speed with very wild aperture options . Make it ideal for low light situations. Not so sure about whether the sharpness is also well defined. I would definitely recommend it.
