It hasn't come off my A100 DSLR since it arrived. I have had it about a month and shot over 3000 images learning all aspects of this superb optic. It is sharp, shockingly sharp!

I have been in photography since 1968, and this lens once again proves my theory and gut feel that fixed focal length prime lenses are still king of resolution. My shots of flowers and bees are the best ever. For the first time I can now see in my digital images just how messy bees are with pollen! Oh, and let's not forget the color. The color is intense in every image. Warning: This is a demanding lens. So first and foremost read the instructions on how to use the "focus limiter." This is a must. It will speed up focusing for all uses, including macro, scenes, architecture, and...
