Ditto, Canon has basically the same lens, and it's an immensely useful valuable lens. The only issue that you might have shooting wide open is a shallow depth of field which may or may not work for you.
One thing that I would recommend that digital cameras offer, is that you should go into a room and take tons of photos of basically nothing, playing with the various settings to see what works for you and what provides what results. You can take a thousand shots and won't have to pay for developing.
Again, more details about the photos that you want to take will allow us to provide more detailed info.
