If you have only one this is it

Normal lens have gone the way of the buffalo. With the sexy zooms and 10X zoom ranges all the rage it is easy to over look a great normal lens. It is also easy to talk yourself out of buying this beauty due to its high price. But if a great lens is measured by the shots it allows you to get this is the leader of the pack. It is small which makes it very non threatening in a room full of people, unlike that bazooka zoom. It is fast 1.4 which means you will get the shot without the flash, and it is sharp. When you get the film back you will smile. This lens is not sexy but it gets results and you will find yourself using it more and more often. That price will become a non issue when you leave that $1000 zoom sitting in your bag...
