Its a great cheap sharp lens.
I could shit a more well built lens. The bokeh is also more distracting at the same aperture than the 50 f/1.4 and 50 f/1.0 made by canon. I've also found my 1.4 to be a fair bit sharper than my 1.8. The autofocus is inaccurate, slow-ish and noisy. The lens barrel is more loose than the women on hastings and main. There's no focus distance meter. I 'enjoyed' it when I had it, but I certainly don't miss it.

I sold it for 100 bucks but in all honesty, what's 100 bucks? I wish I had kept it just so I could absolutely destroy it in some grand fashion. Or maybe keep it for a lens that I'd shoot in any conditions with.
