I find it sharper than my FA 50/1.4 in the comparable range of settings.
Also, It is much sharper than 17-70/4 in the range that they overlap.

was always in my bag. Now,

excellent to well within a normal range of expectations and use. For

It's great. Perfect for shooting performers in clubs. Great portrait lens, and
a sharp, contrasty all-around workhorse.

Thanks for the feedback - I'll pass it on. If my son goes ahead and

months back but didn't pay a lot of attention because this

I bought mine from Godfrey a couple of years ago. So far (touches wood
nervously) I have had no trouble with SDM. It and the 16-50 are my go-to
