Re: A AMAZING LENS

Agree. The 85 f/1.8 is a very good, affordable lens. Back in the film daze ;), it was a key lens for shooting basketball and portraits. I still keep one in the trunk of my car, though I usually shoot with Canon's incredible zooms these days. (Don't care about bokeh.)

PS--make sure you use a lens hood.
