(Please >> don't >> flame Felix for what you may be subjected to during the learning curve >> phase....)<<<<<<<< Hi Sue a few words of a long time user. Number one: Pay everybody including me no heed! But that's your call. :-) Use the lens as though it's your complete life support to photography. Learn the wonderful things it's capable of...... "shooting by almost complete darkness! Let f. 1.0 be your mantra for several rolls, actually many rolls, before you make a yea or nay decision like or not like. It can become your every day lens for all kinds of situations or for specific use, as in next to no light lens! Or lots of light lens! But this is your choice not that of others! This is a lens to "learn by doing & using." Not by the crying whelps who've cast it aside for any number of mamby pamby reasons of wimps! Mine has been in constant use since roughly 1971-2 ? When first purchased new. I would be lost without it near by ready for use. It's a lens to use at any f-stop. However if one has it, use it for what it's designed for.... f 1.0 and be there using it! It allows you to take pictures where others fear to tread without a Twinkie light. (flash) Your now an owner....... so use it for what it was designed for... f. 1.0! or close. If you keep an open mind in it's use you'll not regret buying and using it! ted
