Excellent glass, high transmittance and sharpness
One stellar fact about this lens is that it's T-stop value is t/1.8. Due to the phenomenal optical design correcting aberrations with a mathematically optimal number of elements via a fast rear-focusing breakthrough, this lens is within 1/3rd of a stop as bright compared to both of the Nikon f/1.4...

Indoor sports with no flash!

Pros:
- Fast / accurate auto-focus

Great little lens
I love this lens, debated for a bit whether to get the 1.4. but after buying this one I have no regrets. Since I rarely shoot wide open, the 1.4 did not seem to make sense. The lens is very sharp and feels well built.
Pros:
- small light
- sharp
- good price
Cons:
- n/a
