Title: This IS a keeper!
Review: Once I used 50mm f/1.8, I fell in love with what larger aperture can create in photos. I loved that lens for while then I decided to upgrade to this with a bit larger aperture. The price is affordable, especially if you buy it used.The difference is only 0.4 in aperture, but boy that creates even more amazing photos! Bokeh is beautifully and effortlessly done, and the subject stays crisp sharp. I love its small size, easy to haul when traveling as I often do internationally.Though there's one more step up lens out there at 0.2 larger aperture, the price difference is simply too enormous for me. My budget is tight and I cannot afford $1200+ for this next step up lens. I would if I get into portrait business but mean time with my pet portraits, this lens is more than enough. I would rather spend $1200+ to add 24-70 f2.8 L instead!This IS a keeper lens for your camera bag, and you won't want to let this lens go for a long time!
