awesome lens over all. not so sure about it not having image stabilization if you want to use it in low light.
first the problem i see with this lens.. ...shooting around 1/200 or so i occasionally get some motion blur, not always but sometimes and you cant really notice it till you start to crop in a good amount.
shooting in my house during the day with no lights on i am still shooting low light, some places very low light, even at f/1.8 on some shots my ISO was is getting up around 6400, sometimes more with 1/200 shutter speed which seems to be the slowest shutter speed you want if your shooting on the long end around 100mm or so.... if it had image stabilization i could drop the shutter speed down and have lower ISO, so that is the main draw back of this lens IMO.. the lens is about 3lbs so its on the heavy side.. some times it seem to hunt a little in low light when trying to focus.. my 18-35mm 1.8 art lens does not hunt in low light.. it focuses quick and locks in fast.. this lens does not focus very close to your subject so you got to get back a good 5-7 feet or something like that which is not bad but if your trying to get a small item up close you will need to crop.... with the 18-35mm you can get the lens extremely close to what you are shooting..
the lens needed tuned, it was not perfect from the factory so i got the dock out and i tuned it..
the photos i am getting are of excellent quality IMO, very sharp even at f/1.8 same thing with the other 1.8 art lens i have. very sharp wide open at all focal lengths. great colors, great bokeh.. both are all around excellent lenses. besides what i have mentioned above i think this is a excellent lens..
here are some photos i have taken with the 50-100 1.8 art lens... there pretty much right out of the camera, a few of them are cropped and i adjusted the exposure a little bit on them and i left everything else alone.. here are the photos..
