- Compact size and weight passable
- Good image quality, especially when shooting with open aperture (Portrait)
- Ordinary light intensity (max 4.5.) As compared to usual "travel zoom"
- Cheap price
- Good handling
Perfect it is especially for portrait photography and for all the details, which should be cropped by a shallow depth of field at full aperture the background.
Of course, there are drawbacks, but the fall for me not's weight. Nevertheless, they are listed here:
- Loud autofocus - could be a disadvantage when taking pictures in noise-sensitive environments
- Minimum distance to the subject 1.5m - nothing for macro fans
My conclusion: except for specific applications a great lens and a strong buy recommendation.
