You know, I thought about just getting something like this for indoor shooting at parties and such. And you can’t beat the price. But right now, the tamron’s doing just fine.. It’s a bit bulky though.[/quote]
If you take a lot of portrait or nature shot, I highly recommend this lens. Very few lens can go down to 1.8 and most if not all cost an arm and/or a leg. At 1.8, your subject tend to “pop” more since the background will be blurry. And like you said, you can’t beat the price. It’s also extremely light and small, so it’s really easy to carry around. @ $80-90, you don’t need to waste $ on filters either. If it break, by another one :-).
