    As the title says, this lens delivers quite the punch. It's also deceivingly light, which makes it easy to travel with. No complaints on this one.

    This is a great 55mm lens that takes excellent sharp pictures, even in low light. It is light and low profile. I returned it to get the 24 mm GM lens that was slightly more expensive, but gave me a wider aperture and was more in the distance I prefer to work in.

    This lens did a pretty good job for an impromptu street photography run. Definitely better suited for portrait photography, but until I can save up for the 35mm prime, it's a decent substitute.
