    Good 50mm lens for everyday carry around shooting. Some light vignetting wide open at 1.8, but over all a great lens for the money.

    I bought this as a back up plans however after trying it for one or two shoots I decided to return it it is not sharp it is very soft especially around the edges and the CA it’s very noticeable. I do not recommend this lens I recommend you safe and go with a sick my version if you are on a budget or like I did go with the new Sony

    The 1.8 lets you do some great portraits. Also, can be used for multiple people.
