Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars by 44 users at B&H Photo Video

"Very fast lens, shutter and focus wise. Picture quality/bokeh is awesome wide open."

"As I said the only regret I have is not buying it earlier. Very good for portrait shots, indoor with low light conditions etc."

"I really like the look and field markers on this lens, but when compared to other makers this lens is very soft."
