Just bought the above metioned lens. Couldnt resist it, being so cheap and all. I'll upload some pictures when it arrives tomorrow (hopefully). Read some good reviews and seen some great shots taken with it. Looking forward to taking some snaps myself. Will be using it for portrait photography and music events (will be dim light).

Will be interesting to see your shots and opinions on the lens. Been hearing a lot about it recently and am tempted myself, justifing it to the mrs might be difficult at the mo as i've just bought a sigma 70-300.

Bought the lens specifically for Portraiture and Gig's. Wont be using as a walkabout, thats for the 18-55mm. Which produces satifactory results.

Generally very happy with the lens. I was worried about vignetting in the f1.8 region but it is very very well controlled. Nice sharp images with good colours (pictures were taken on 'normal' optimization level).
