Lenses need to have character; a bad photo will still suck no matter how perfect a lens is.

A bad photo will also suck no matter how much character the lens has though.

Character is built, lenses are eternal. Or is that the other way around.. Wait.. oh crap where was I? lol

In the review the author said it focuses slow like the 85mm f/1.8. Unfortunately he probably meant the f/1.2. Too bad, if he did mean the f/1.8, it would be a true gem - because the 85mm f/1.8 is not slow (at all).

PS - My apologies to the author. That is not what they said, they said it did not focus fast like the 85mm f/1.8 - my bad.

He said it doesn't focus fast like the 85 1.8!! Not the other way around

Yes, I re-read and say I misinterpreted. I put a correction mine while you were doing your reply. Sorry for the mess up. Again my bad!

unless dropped down some stairs!

@freshcargo sick I can't wait to see how it looks on my griped t3i

I finally got to try one and I'm impressed with its performance, especially given the very low asking price. It WILL be the next item added to my kit.

Shoot, I'd be afraid I'd mistake it for a 20mm macro extension tube!

it's barely big enough for the AF/MF switch! lol

Debating picking this up just for the novelty of it. Would be a pretty slick lens for just walking around town.

I don't see it as a novelty. The size is just awesome for walking around. My smallest lens is my 35L. This will be 1/4 of the weight and size. Perfect for my upcoming trip to Orlando (though I'll bring my 35L just in case I don't like the results)
