It’s an incredibly useful focal length, and having such a competent optical instrument in such a compact package is a true delight. The lens is also very easy to use, and so getting great results is fairly effortless despite the manual nature of the lens. The only real barrier is the price, which at nearly $1500 USD seems pretty steep.
