A goal of all trades

Before any other comments, this lens is a marvel.
Although I bought early for his first feature, the macro, since it is a goal that almost left my camera or my camera bag.
The fixed focal length, 9 diaphragm blades and opening Max f / 2.8 makes it an ideal lens for portraiture. The sharpness is excellent, no aberration or distortion, and bokeh is relatively soft and pleasant to the eye.

The macro function enables magnification 1: 1, for suprenants results, and very detailed.
Autofocus can be limited by 2 zones: 0.3m - 0.5m, 0.5m - infinity, and disengaged from 0.3 to infinity.
This limitation reduces focusing time, the unit does not have to look over the entire length. The ring set manual focus is very broad and allows very fine control of manual focus, even when the autofocus is activated (USM technology)

Most:
- Fixed focus, giving a better picture quality on the sensor, and fewer aberrations
- F / 2.8 aperture, allowing well highlight about
- 9 blade diaphragm, giving a nice bokeh to the eye
- SteadyShot

Cons:
- The autofocus tends to slip a bit in certain situations shooting

CONCLUSION:
This series lens barrel L has a very good price / quality ratio, and I do not regret my purchase in any case.
The lens comes (like all L-series) with its visor and a soft case.
