A well built sharp fast lens which has seen only limited use from me.
Here it is shown from the side with the screw on metal lens hood.
I think it would be ideal for portraits, but I don't do that type of photography.
The lens does give a nice bokeh as can be seen with this image: Click Here
Personally with my limited use I can not justify paying another $900 to get the f/1.4 version of this lens.
