Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars by 28 users at B&H Photo Video

"Very bright optics, fast auto focus, beautiful soft bokeh, built like a tank, and a great low light lens."

"It's SUPER quiet and love that it comes with a hood and has a metal mount. Very durable and nice lens."

"The only thing that is kind of weird about this lens is sometimes it makes loud noises when it stops down as I zoom in or out."

Looking to purchase for a Northern Lights photo trip. Can the autofocus be disabled with this lens?
