Although half a meter is not the most common focusing distance on a crop sensor, I have no doubt that this lens is second only to the whale in terms of sales volume. Naturally, after trying something more serious (I tried shooting at 24-70 f/4 and 35 mm equivalent), you understand how slow autofocus is, that sometimes there would be more sharpness, and less focal length, but, friends, let's be honest - half a 1.8 is a marketing lure to prick for the first time, planting on a line of lenses. We find the prices here to be too high (8900 compared to 5500 for the original version).
