    Cons: IQ until f/8, distortion and some CAs, no lens hood

    Pros: reliable and super fast AF, light weight, price, close focussing distance

    Summary: This lens is maybe optically not the best but it's somehow a joy to use if you know for what kind of pics. The warm color rendition and the somewhat soft IQ is nice for some portraiture and those "special pics" you cannot describe. I like this lens although the most don't.
