Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars by 57 users at B&H Photo Video

"It is terrific! Colors are warm and pure, autofocus is fast and razor sharp, and backgrounds melt into smooth blurred colors."

"This lens is one of the best 50mm lenses we have used. It is incredibly sharp (even wide open) and the colors are really gorgeous and vibrant."

"One drawback is that the lens is bulky, but to me that's a minor issue."
