The first pictures I've taken with this lens caused me palpitations because it was so beautiful! For ages I was using his little brother 90mm, great also, but this one really enters another dimension ... insane dive bokeh to fall steeply, putting the soft and precise manual focus, beautiful building ... I could not doubt that my little 1000d could give results as formidable, and more than ever with this objective we realize how much the case is irrelevant to the image quality. We can always quibble about the autofocus which clearly is not an exemplary velocity, but it is less precise, and good for the autofocus macro ... Unable to regret such a purchase ...
