Sharp and solid so far for me. Anyone else happy with it? I know the not so low F stop isn't great, but for outdoor use it seems fine to me. This is an untouched photo, only adjustments were done in the camera.

I LOVE the lense and made it my all around everyday lense for quite some time. Reliable, fast focus, I love that thing. I would put it up there with my Canon EF 24-105mmf/4L IS USM. 1D MK IV | 1.4x II Extender | 16-35mm f/2.8L II | 24-70mm f/2.8L IS | 70-200mm f/2.8L IS | 50mm f/1.2L | 85mm f1.2L II | 100mm f/2.8L | METZ 58 AF-1 TTL

Very sharp and solid colors. Plus it is so light In reality the 50 1.8 is so great because it is so cheap. Under any kind of low light it does not focus. Usually, that is why you purchase a 1.8 lens is for it's low light abilities and this is where the 50 1.8 drops the ball.
