    5 Stars
    Extra sharp, versatile, nice big and heavy, great focus ring.
    Love this lens. When I replaced my zoom kit lens with this one it was night and day... like using a different camera altogether. That zoom lens has never made its way back to my camera. The only zoom used here is my feet and the Photoshop crop tool.I am using this with a Canon D70, which means with the 1.6x crop factor, this is the equivalent of an 80-85mm lens. For film purposes, the large size of the lens with the huge focal ring is an advantage if you are doing continuous manual focus. For people with a strong, steady hand, the weight is not a big deal and can help keep things steady if no stand or steadicam equipment on hand.As mentioned by another reviewer, this kind of extreme sharpness in a lens is a tradeoff from the desired bokeh that portraiture photogs like. I bought this for making short films, so the sharpness and lack of prutty bokeh is a plus for me. I don't necessarily need pretty glowey faces in a tense Tarantino-esque scene that turns into a shootout. I need the characters to pop in contrast to the background, and I want to see their ugly pimples and all.Having said that, first thing I learned from experimenting with this lens is the value of taking pictures in raw. A few adjustments when importing into Photoshop, and you can make the pictures soft if you need to using the initial import screen. See examples. When you are getting this much information through the lens, you have a lot of versatility and options as to how you use it. So even if you are a glamour or portaiture photog, I would not be too quick to dismiss it.I am so paranoid about getting dust or scratches on this investment, that I leave my Tiffen circular polarizer on full time, even indoors. Indoors the polarizer is great for reducing light bouncing off shiny foreheads or cheeks (choose your poison). I also like the deeper, richer colors the polarizer seems to give.On the autofocus, I probably should use it more, but I am never quite happy with it, sometimes to my own chagrin, as I don't always get it right when taking pictues. The Canon D70 has continual auto focus with video, and I have test it and it does work good enough with this lens for commercial purposes. It is quiet, although, if you are using it for professional use, you should be using a wireless lavalier and boom combo. For short films, I don't know, I would say it depends on how short staffed and short on time we are. It is definitely great to have that option. Several years ago it was not available on cameras below 3,000 .Overall I am happy with my purchase and feel I made the right decision for what I will be using it for. I am going to save up for the Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM Telephoto Zoom, known for good everything including sweet bokeh, so I imagine these two lenses will be the only ones I need when going out to do a guerilla shoot. Not doing weddings, so no need to carry 8 crappy lenses.
