Pros: Fast f2.8, solid construction
Cons: slightly soft?

This lens is a standard piece of kit in my camera bag. I often use it for shooting portraits, handheld whereas every other lens is usually tripod mounted.
I dont think this is the sharpest of the 67 lenses, but I don't think this is such an issue for portraits.
A couple of images shot with the lens are
