Love it - Great Lens for low light (and for the cost)

Purchased this to be the companion lens to my 50mm -- 1.8
It is a 28mm (or "prime") lens, so you don't have the ability to zoom. But for $160 (ish) you can get a 2.8 lens and capture some terrific low light shots. The glass is very nice and the shots I have taken with it are very sharp. Is a little noisy (no UltraSonic Motor) but after a few minutes I didn't even notice it.
Used this lens to photograph an anniversary party a few weeks ago. I couldn't use the 50mm (wasn't enough room for me to back up from the group), but the 28mm let me get the shots - in very low lighting conditions - and my client was thrilled. Nice lens for the price for those times when the room is small...and the lighting isn't all that great.
