Primary Uses: Virtually all types of portraits. Secondary Uses: Videography given aperture. Pros: Most realistic human perspective lens. Without question, the most versatile lens I own. Can be used for basic portraits (although not specifically headshots), night time photography, high-shutter action. Very fast focusing lens. Cons: Soft wide open, chromatic aberration observable with bright light in background (Greens and Magentas).
