This lens has a nine bladed diaphragm which is capable of producing some stunning bokeh. I took a few shots at f\/1.4 \u2013 f\/2.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">I had no problem with the lens, it autofocus pretty fast, however the focus was abit slow to respond when I was shooting into the sun., but this is normal. The weight of the lens didn\u2019t seem to bother me, unlike the 70-200mm f\/2.8 which I need to take a break every 15mins <\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">The lens lives up to its critiques with exceptional sharpness and amazing bokeh.
