"This lens is absolutely wonderful! Great for macro, you don't need to get to close to your subject but definitely can. I use this more as my all purpose lens for portraits and some wildlife stuff, mainly for "what the human eye sees". The only problem I have run into is forgetting that the focal len …"  Read Full Review »

When I don't need the zoom (or the wide angle) of that lens, however, this one is tons better! It takes wonderfully cl …"  Read Full Review »

"The 50mm f/2.0 lens is an excellent prime lens. DOF is as advertised. The depth of field takes getting used to because it is so much more powerful than the 18-180mm lens. For a great portrait lens, and a fantastic macro shot of spring flowers, this lens can't be beat! "
