I would say his images are nice, but don't blow me away in the sharpness department. It is an older lens design and most of the time as Marcel mentioned you would not be shooting wide open anyway. I would bet a 50mm f1.8G stopped down to f2 would be sharper. If you want crazy shallow depth of field, you lose the image sharpness with that lens. Then you might as well go with the 85mm 1.8 or 1.4G as you will have much more isolation of your subject and better background bokeh than with any 50mm lens. Coma is the small off-color flaring you get off of bright points of light at night time.</blockquote>
