Perfect for indoor shooting of babies on APS-C + astrophotography
1

This fast prime lens coupled with my 70d makes a perfect kit to shot my young daughter (10 months) indoor. FOV is slightly wider then a normal, giving you some extra freedom when framing the fast-moving subject in a small room or environment. DOF can be quite narrow at f/1.8, allowing some good subject separation despite of the short focal distance. It is not razor sharp at f/1.8 but nothing you'll easily notice: much more often the lack of sharpness is due to inaccurate focus or motion blur as the baby is moving fast; by f/2.0 you'll get all the sharpness you need.

This lens is providing also great results in night astrophotography. Since the moment I got it, this is probably the lens I'm using more often.
