Since I acquired my standard zoom no longer out of the closet! This objective of fixed focal length 35mm DX unit is equivalent to a standard lens (50 mm) for silver. Its large maximum aperture gives it two major forces: the ability to take pictures without flash in low light conditions and the possibility of reducing the depth of field to create beautiful blur effects. In mode A (aperture priority) can be by choosing a large aperture make great portraits with sharp lines, soft edges and a perfectly masked by a background defocus. I could not do without this. Below are some technical details to complete the assessment. This lens has no moving parts unlike most zooms. We can therefore expect it to be robust and not prone to absorb dust. The only ring available is that of focus. This allows you to take hold of the autofocus at any time. A special feature of this perspective is the lack of focus distance indicator. Personally it does not bother me. The whole thing is even more compact.
