  (+) Fast and accurate autofocus (on higher end bodies)
  (+) Compact size.

• My favourite lens
  My best lens by far. Great IQ, light and not too expensive. The focal length is more usable than the 50mm 1.8 (also great) and the build quality is better. I mainly use mine for portraits at f2.8. At f2 it's a tiny bit soft but at 2.8 it's perfect. I have taken some brilliant pics with it. You will not regret this buy.

• beats the 50mm f/1.8
  I have a D80 and two VR lenses covering 18-200mm, a 50mm f/1.8...and now this gem. I only add to other positive reviews that this is great for taking shots of my kids and easier to get them into the frame. I think that the f/2 is as good or better than the f/1.8. Also, photos of landscapes are much sharper with this than the 50mm. It feels more solidly built. I like Ken Rockwell and wish that he had evaluated this lens in greater detail...but take his word, this lens is a "gem". It feels great on the D80... more info

• Sharp and Light
  I needed a lens that is small and decreases the overall bulk of the camera. This lens is the one. It has a wide range of applications...I use it for candid photography, portraits, landscapes, and architecturals. It can even focus as close as 5 inches from the subject to the front of the lens barrel. It is moderately sharp compared to a 35mm Summicron lens, which is the very best there is. It's nowhere near as flat as the famous Pentax "pancake" lens, or the excellent Minolta 45mm pancake lens, but it weighs... more info
