the price-performance ratio is right here simply. The plastic looks a bit rickety and the focus sharpens, but that's when the 350 model is not much better. I had both on the camera - of course offers 1.4 slightly better pictures, because there degrees operates the autofocus something fixed and the Committee remains minimal, but my god, it will cost the good part here less than a third of the price and has 1.4er ultimately made the decision on my part easy. A must for any ambitious photographer, I'm thrilled. The professional will appreciate the advantages of the more expensive model - me is enough for a good piece. Great pictures, great lens.
