    I love this Lens! It’s great for portraits. The Quality is Crisp. I love how it Blur out the background & focuses on Your Portrait Subject. Def Recommend It. Just Know you will have to keep a good Distance from Your Subject To Get The Best Results

    It was mostly good for pictures far away but it wasn’t too good with videos and up close content (example: if you wanted to review something in your room it would only show your face and nothing else)

    I switched from canon to Sony in hopes the hype train was right however I am back to Canon with the r6 as Sony features just weren't enough. the things you lack in Sony are in Canon, trust me, the stabilization is a different game, the IS in sony is a joke. Worth looking into. This lens was used for many weddings but I am happy when I saw I gave it away on offer up just to get rid of it.
