    Excellent lens! As sharp as the more expensive 55 1.8 Zeiss. I don't see a difference and half the cost.

    I needed a potrait lens and the 80mm designed for the aps-c is not cost effective . This lens is designed for the full sensor cameras but works wonders with the aps-c family. The conversion from full chip to aps-c is 1.5. So this 50mm is now a 75mm. Close enough to the 80mm
