With a huge reduction in size and weight as well as improved autofocus motors and promised optical improvements, it looks like a very compelling option for shallow depth of field and low light photography. Jordan Drake went on the streets of Calgary to see how this lens performs. Special thanks to Evelyn Drake for shooting this episode.
