    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!!
