Photographs taken with it (usually at 2.8, my favourite aperture) have a 3d quality, with the sharp subject standing out against a very nice, soft, out of focus background. Obviously, other lenses have out of focus backgrounds too ;-) but they simply aren't the same. I think Erwin would be having conniptions reading this if he were still on the list, but it is MHO.
