    Great value, excellent focusing, and a large aperture. Use it with my Nikon D7100

    As the title says, this is my favorite lens (and I own a LOT of lenses). On my DX body AND my FX body. Obviously, on the DX, there is a crop factor applied and on my D7100 it's closer to a 75mm field of view than 50, but it's still a stunning lens. Well built, yet very light. I LOVE LOVE LOVE how this lens works - the sharpness and clarity are out of the ballpark.
