The image quality is simply stellar. It is a beautiful piece of glass with excellent optics. Its as sharp as most lenses in this price range wide open, and competes with much more expensive lenses by the 2.8/4 split. Not bad at all. The bokeh is awfully nice too, with internal focusing to boot! (No focus breathing during focus pulls) There are of course some trades offs, the most obvious being autofocus, though if you're looking for a true cine lens that is irrelevant. Even shooting stills with it I don't miss the autofocus much. Secondly, the construction of the barrel is not at the same level as the quality of the glass. It is solid though, and as good as you're likely to find on a lens in this price range, so not fair to reduce the rating on that basis. I see it as they spent the money on the parts that effect the image, and saved on everything else, so don't drop it! It ain't the canon 85 T1.3, but at 1/14th the price it shouldn't be!

I'm using this lens with a T4i for video only. Shooting talking heads mostly on a tripod at a nice interview distance. It's got great depth of field and works amazing in low light conditions. It's not a good lens to shoot action, it's VERY tight and hard to focus on fast moving things, i.e. kids playing at a park, etc. I would suggest the 35mm or 24mm versions for more fast paced shooting situations. Haven't had a chance to try the follow focus yet, but I do enjoy having the rings built in the lens even for hand focusing, they work nicely.

Using this lens mainly for interview pieces, and for some b-roll shots, I was very impressed. It is tack sharp (though it takes a while to get used to the extremely shallow DOF), and has some very nice bokeh, I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for an affordable alternative to the name brands!

For the Price...you cannot beat it. I want the 24mm now!! Solid optics, low light, clean image and Bokeh beauty. Love it with my Canon C100 camera. Drawback is a bit of a plasticky feel. So, hope it will last some bumps & bruises. Overall, I'm Happy :) Thanks B&H!!
