This lens was the reason for me to switch to primes. Wide-open it is already good and stopped down it is really good. I love the colors and contrast. It can be bought for around EUR 80-100 ($100) which is excellent value. Very good portait lens on digital.

I've owned this lens twice. One I bought new and it lasted 10+ years of constant use. I just recently found another at KEH in BGN condition for $90US. As a portrait lens, it's the right length on a digital body. The bokeh is beautiful at f1.7.

Bought this one used with my old SF1N, then used it on my K100D. Sharp, fast, a true classic! Makes a great portrait lens. Great for available-light shots, especially those magic times of day which are off-limits to all kit and most zoom lenses.

An excellent lens. Ideal for use on DSLRs for portraits and low light applications.
