Havent taken her off for a few days now. Im giving her another try before I sell my 50 1.4 and 28 1.8 and pick up a 24-70 2.8. Here are a two from today.

I want to ask about AF in low light
Does it work well?

and at 2.0 compared to 35 f2 which one is sharper?

I'm satisfied with the AF in low light, but that will of course also depend on your camera.

I've been a happy user of the 35 f/2 for a long time, but haven't compared them on sharpness, color etc. The USM focusing of the 28 f/1.8 is reason enough for me never to go back to the 35 f/2

I used the 28 1.8 for the first time on full frame (used 5D - before I got this I only used it on a 40D) this weekend and I have to say, it was spectacular. Having used only crop bodies before, the wide shallow DoF was really new to me and I'm just loving this style of images. It's really the perfect focal length for indoor full body portraits.
Now I just have to post process 1143 images, but I'll surely post a bunch in here

Just got this lens last week and am having fun with it. Enjoying learning how to use it.

Initial observations: yes it is a little soft wide open, but only at certain distances up close, it seems to be fine in center.

Focus speed is excellent, manual focus ring is perfectly dampened.

Build quality is very good, and looks good on my 50D.

Very nice lens for general walk around use. No complaints thus far. I am excited about exploring all the possibilities with this wide aperture.
