The Digital Picture
It features a small size, light weight, and an affordable price. Despite the low impact of those features, this fun-to-use lens has a precision metal build quality, including a metal hood, and impressive image quality.
Camera Labs 8.2/10
It’s pretty light and compact, but well-built, focuses quickly and delivers crisp subjects against nicely-rendered backgrounds. If you’re after corner-to-corner sharpness, you will need to close down to around f5.6, and of course an f2 lens will never match a brighter model for potential blurring at the same distance.
