Lenses are often considered as the last item to buy when buying photo equipment. People tend to buy a (cheap?) lens with an extreme zoom range, with compromises, instead of good quality glass. At least I did. I did not want to drag around a bulky and heavy zoom anymore and decided to buy prime glass. This 77mm 1.8 is my second prime (first is a 35mm f/2.8 Macro). I never realised what I missed in quality and sharpness before this prime lenses. Photo's are tick sharp and colorfull. Pros: Fast, small, light in weight, good building quality. Cons: No manual focus when camera is set to autofocus.
I needed a prime lens with medium telephoto capacities and perfect rendering. This lens met all my requirements. This is a work of art. Tack sharp at all apertures, the details in the pictures are flawless, the colouring is the accurate 100%, DOF is fantastic especially in portraiture. It is especially useful in low light pictures with its somewhat slow autofocus, but nonetheless superb. I would buy this lens again and again.
Pros: compact, sharp, great value. The only con is that the focusing ring is synchronized during autofocus, so one has to practice not touching it in AF mode.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
As above, this lens lives up to its reputation. If I could have only one single prime lens this would be it.
