I love this lens, but for me, it isn't that versatile by itself. It's a great prime to have with another camera with another focal length, but it's long enough that things can be simply too close, or if you are close, and you want to get closer, the minimum focusing distance isn't that great. It's physically large as well.


However, the image quality is absolutely astounding. At F 1.2, in low light there's nothing flippin' like it. I recently sold mine as well as my 24-105 because I wasn't really using them and money took priority over having them in the closet, but despite the things about it that make it not the last lens I'd give up, I'll surely miss it. Should the economy improve, and business follow, I'd certainly be interested in picking up another.
