search for and go with amazon item number: B00007E7JU
Pros: Sharp. Wide aperture. Full-time MF.
Cons: AF hit-or-miss. Manufacturing tolerances quite high; no quality control apparent. Lens hood not included.
I’ve read that this lenses apiture has 8 blades instead of 5 like thre 70.00 lens, this makes Bokeh smoother, the lights will hae smoother edges in blur
if your a newbie here’s some info
A lens is “fast” when it has a low f-stop… ok so when you have a smaller number the apature is bigger which allows more light through, so this means you can up the shutter speed. and still have enough light reach the sensor.
ok so lets say you have an out door shot if you have say an f/4 lens the shutter speed could be 1/250 of a second and you would get a good exposer. Now this lens can only go f/4
but if you in the same outdoor setting, had an f/2.8 lens you could jump to 1/500 of a second and get the same exposer. and freeze the action mmore effectivly, this i believe is why it’s a “fast” lens.
ok have fun and get it done

This lens has received excellent reviews so I won’t repeat what others have already stated. I ordered this lens on March 20 with a shipping estimate of “usually within 24hrs”. I just received an updated ship date range of May 5th – May 15th. If you are in a hurry for this lens it might be best to look elsewhere.

If you enjoy taking portraits, this is absolutely a must lens for everyone. Love it and really recommend it!
The lens is working perfectly! My only concern is regarding the delivery.. it was delivered by UPS.. we were not home and the lens was left at the front door, in the hot Florida sun. Fortunatly we just missed the person, so we must have arrived minutes after because the package wasn’t extreamly hot, but I was very mad about it and if anything would have happened to that lens because of it, it would have been a big problem.
In the future Amazon should make sure such incidents do not happen again, otherweise I will have to think it twice about buying my stuff here!

I have tried at least four samples of this lens and they all have had the same issue: they are very soft at 1.4. This lens gets much much better as soon as you go to 2.8.
Eventually, I bought the Canon 50mm 2.5 macro lens and I can say that this lens is almost as sharp at wide open as it is closed down to the next stop and the remaing stops. I am very happy with this lens. Oh, this lens also costs less than the 50mm 1.4.
