Title: superb quality
Review: This was my first "premium" lens purchase, so I considered it to be quite an investment at the time I bought it. After doing research on this and the comparative lenses, I decided to spring for this one since I have started doing some portrait photography work on the weekends. This lens provides really great quality images and colors come through very brightly. I really feel that this has helped me to get some of the visual aesthetics that I've been looking for in my portrait and even macro photography. It's solidly constructed and appears to be high quality. One thing that I really love about it is that it really soaks up a lot of light, so it's ideal for low light situations if you want your pictures to be less grainy. There's a lot more to this lens than that, but several of the other reviewers have already captured the specifics.
