In particular, its sharpness is really superb (the best I've seen other than the really good Nikon lenses). I've used it successfully in various climes, from the Artic (-40F or so), to India (110F), with never any problems with internal fogging, or lubrication, etc. I consider it one of the best lenses I have, in fact. It is certainly better than the Vivitar zoom lenses I have (not series I), and clearly as good as the 'standard' Cannon FD 50mm F1.4 I bought with the camera. The good light gathering power means you can shoot in lots of situations by available light that you couldn't with the brand X type lenses (usually F2.8 at best). -JCP-
