Title: Blows the kit lens out of the water
Review: This is an absolutely magical lens. I pulled it out of the box, and it is SOLID. I was a bit concerned, by some reviews I'd read, that it would be fragile and not so well put together, but anybody responsible enough to pay $400 for such a lens will take plenty good care of it to keep it working flawlessly. I'd compare the 50mm 1.8 to the likes of a kit 18-55mm as far as build, and this 50mm 1.4 is clearly a huge step up. Anybody looking for razor thin depth of field and the associated speed (especially for candids) will be thrilled to own this glass. Unless you've got money to blow, I wouldn't bother with the 50mm 1.2 L, especially if you're planning on carrying it around.
