You have to learn to deal with this lens, simply screw top, set the aperture 1.4, hoping thus to master all image situations without a flash - that does not work, how could it? Due to the large aperture of the focusing range is extremely small, especially in the near field, as decided a few millimeters.
Meanwhile, I can with the lens very good deal and it does exactly that what I want. I think the opportunities in the waivers almost limitless, depending on the requirements can I decide exactly which depth range to be imaged sharply and where I use blur. The increase would be only 1.2 L - I wonder still, the related costs are not insignificant.
From me there for this lens almost unrestricted recommendation, a prerequisite for the use of this lens and the achievement of results which is satisfied the photographers but some willingness to learn.
