Rated 4 out of 5 stars by 46 users at B&H Photo Video

"Great lens in every sense! Sharp, colorful and great low light performance! Nothing short of impressive, although I was skeptical to buy it at first. Best investment I've made."

"I was worried I would not like this little bundle but after about 2 hours of shooting I grew to love the vast sharp images. I was asked if I had put a sharping tool to the photo and I had to answer no just straight from the lens."

"My only complaint is that it is a 2.8, and not as fast as some of the other primes, but 2.8 gave me a lot more play than I thought it would. Great lens."
