It's on my camera probably 90% of the time. It's as fast as anything out there and pretty sharp even at maximum aperture. By f4.0 it's great, I tend to use it f4 thru 5.6 most of the time, unless of course it's a landscape. It's pretty bulky but manageable nonetheless, though once the lens hood is attached it does get quite a lot of attention from passersby so maybe not the best choice for street photography. So all in all just a excellent lens for much of your photography. This lens is my main squeeze. It’s on my camera probably 90% of the time.
