I use this lens all the time for portraits in the studio. Absolutely brilliant, clear and focuses brilliantly on the subject. Works well at night/ less light situations as well. I would totally recommend this lens to any photographers.

This lens, in short, is my favourite lens. It's sharp in the centre from f/1.6, it's overall the sharpest lens I own. It's an excellent focal length for a general use prime. It's compact and light. It fits nicely into a jacket pocket. The bokeh it...
