Sharp, Soft, and Bright
Three words you rarely hear together, but they fit this lens perfectly as your subject will be sharp and your background can be butter soft (if that is what you want), and the bright f/1.8 maximum aperture allows for great control over depth of field and bokeh, low-light shooting and video recording, with fast and reliable autofocus. It’s an outstanding “look” for portraits, fashion, video applications, and even some indoor sports.
