    This was a great lens,. I say was because after all the reviews and time I spent buying the lens, I retuned it. A 20mm, F1.8 was good but I don’t blog, so it was a waste of money. It’s not the lens fault, but the buyers. It was beautiful, light and I will repurchase it some time in the future. Traded it in for a G Master telephoto lens, the 16-35, f2.8, it includes this focal length and several others. It’s a monster piece of glass.

    This is a stellar lens. Stills or video it is razor sharp and holds detail edge to edge. Focuses very close too and without any drifting and searching that some lenses have.
