    This lens was in good use when I took close pictures and when I recorded a video. Otherwise the silver line indicates a cheap quality lens. So I returned it, and I am investing in quality lens. I recommend the lens that have gold or red line. They usually are a lot more expensive and professional, otherwise if you are not a huge fanatic of photography, I would recommend this lens.

    It only does photographs of people very well. I love the 18-55 more but it's still a great lens. Now I'm just typing to fill the 50 character minimum in my review. Still typing... Still typing... It still doesn't say I've cleared 50... I'm starting to think this is a glitch... What are they getting out of this??

    Great wide angle lens. No "fisheye" distortion. Works on both full frame and crop sensor cameras. Mechanics on the auto focus work good. I like to manually focus so I don't know how well it lasts overtime. Light weight and compact, sometimes I forget it's on my camera.

    An excellent lens for general purpose use. Looked at other more expensive fixed focal length lenses and found this to be a great purchase for both quality and value.
