"This lens is VERY SHARP, even at f2.8. At f5.6 it really shines. I have used several Sigma EX lenses and I would give this lens a very strong recommendation."

"The image quality and clarity was just amazing. At f2.8, i was able to achieve quite the blurr effect i always wanted."

"Problems Encountered: Not sharp, hunts in low light, extremely loud auto focus"
