Yes, I have and mainly used it in portrait shooting in the pair with the 85/1.4.
Great glass, it's little long for close portrait, needed to zoom your foot back and forth.

I bought one last fall (US fall) on a whim because the price was so attractive. It has made me forget about the 85/1.4, at least for a while. It is tack sharp and a real cream machine. I don't do portraits so I find it good for close focus work outside (especially with a Canon 500D) and its a nice lanscape lens too.

Hah! Me too!

It'd be too weird if it was the same wedding (Ceremony in Baulkham Hills, Reception in Schofields)
