Interestingly, it also takes quite nice close-up shots (see images I'm posting with this review)

This lens takes amazing shots

A cool secret feature is this thing takes some pretty good macro shots

Slim, lightweight and some great shots

I was able to get some pretty great shots in various types of lighting, I cant wait to get this out to an event and snap some photos.

With it being a tad wider than 50mm, you can find yourself getting really creative with your composition and shots, it so versatile

Though it is a prime lens and I'd have to use my legs as my zoom, it can take decent wide angle shots and if you get close enough, it can take some near-macro shots as well.

2.8 aperture lets me stop down to get great shots in low light, too.

The only problem is, I find that photos between f4-f2.8 are very distorted, otherwise it takes great shots.

When I want to carry my camera around and be able to take great shots in any situation, but don't want to carry other lenses, this is my go to

I get crisp shots with a decent amount of bokeh when wanted.

but I got some great shots of my baby girl this Christmas with this lens!

If you want a great walk around lens that has outstanding optics and is tack sharp buy this lens, if you want realistic close up shots and beautiful color fidelity buy this lens

We have used the lens for quite a few indoor group shots, to capture images of rooms and indoor areas, as well as a few landscape and outdoor shots

I took it out when I went sailing with friends on a small boat and was able to get great shots of the scenery and my friends while sitting just across from them

It performs great a s a walk around lens as well, though you dont have a zoom range like on a traditional walk around lens it gives great wide angle shots as well as close ups second to none
