Very crisp and good contrast everywhere

Differcult to compose and picture often appear to outlandish. Uneven lighting at high apertures.

Excellent lens for the money but I eventually got tired of it and got a 17-35.

Lightweight, Very Sharp,
Short minimum focusing distance of 20cm! Fixed Petal Lens Hood

Plastic Construction,
Open front lens element is very unprotected and easily scratched!

I love this lens. Superb sharpness, semi-fast focusing. Be careful of the front lens element. Fixed Petal-type lens hood only protects it to a certain extent. Excellent lens worth the money if you have a good use for it. I use it to shoot surfing photos from the water and some great landscape work. This lens can be very addicting and sometimes creatively overused!

This is a very unique lens, though it is not my everyday lens. It produces very dramatic and powerful pictures when used properly. The lens is very sharp and the color is contrasty. It's much better to use this lens in manual focus mode. However, it is needed to be used with caution since the front element is very exposed and very often I need to get very close to the subject. Highly recommended.
