I guess I don't know.. Just show me a good shot that you couldn't get with another lens. Please. Thanks!

3rd tri lurker chiming in here... I'm a photographer and have used this lens (I actually have the 1.4 version). You will LOVE this lens, it's beautiful. If you can spring for the 1.4, it's worth it - but the 1.8 is still good.

I'll PIP a couple pictures I took of my nephew with the 1.4.

this is one of our go-to lenses, its beautiful for taking shots of the kids - or really any portrait style shots.

I don't have any of my babies with that lens (switched to the 1.4 long before I had them) but I do have some of other things... I used to love that lens!! My only complaint is the somewhat loud focus on it.. but it's quite sharp!
