Customer Ratings & Reviews

Love this lens! It's a great lens for a great price!

Great camera lens for taking close up portrait shots.

You won't find another lens in this price range that performs like this one. The f/1.8 f-stop allows the lens to draw in much more light than the included kit lens, allowing you to take much better pictures indoors or any other environment where light is scarce. The lens does feel cheap unfortunately, being constructed mostly of plastic.

Bought this for my Mom for Christmas. She loves it.

I LOVE this lens. It is perfect for low-light areas, and soft focus. I used it for a barn wedding a few weeks ago, and it ended up being the primary lens after dark! I highly recommend this lens for anyone.

I bought this to photograph my two girls and I love it!!! I would recommend it to anyone looking for a new lenses!!!

As an amateur photographer, this lens makes it's easier to blur the background and isolate the subject being photographed. I wouldn't have thought about without the suggestion from the sales person at Best Buy.

This lens is exactly what i expected. I got it for someone just starting with portraits so she could learn to use a prime lens. If you are going to do a lot of portraits i would recommend getting the 1.4.

i feel it is grew to have, especially starting out. very much a staple to have for easy and clear shots. Makes shots easier due to no zoom, move your whole body. perfect for me taking clear close shots.

This lense does exactly what I bought it for. It allows me to shoot in low light situations without having to use a flash. It is small which makes it nice for transporting. All around a great product.

We needed a nice lens to use for portraits for our toddler, pets, etc. This lens is great for just that. No need to use a more complex lens for this purpose. It was exactly what we were looking for.

Overall, this lens was the perfect addition to my studio set. Shallow depth of feild is perfect for portrait work, and the shortness allows for faster shutter speed to achieve the desired exposure.

This is my go to lens. It is perfect for couple shots and headshots. It brings in a lot of light so monitor your settings when shooting in high light situations.

Great little lens, probably not an everyday lens as it is difficult to get good close up pics. You have to be kind of far away from your subject. But it is a crisp lens! Takes beautiful pictures!

Great lens for any photographer. Have been using it mainly for portrait photography, pictures come out great. A basic lens any photographer should have. Easy to use. Good price at Best Buy.

Up until now, most of the pictures I'd taken of my sons' sports games were outdoors. I'm not a pro, and usually gets away with full auto mode. This lens was great for taking pictures at indoor basketball games where the gym had decent lighting. The only downside was not being able to adjust the zoom, but I easily accounted for that by cropping the photos. As for the plastic casing, I see no issue with it whatsoever. Definitely recommend. Can't beat the price either!

Looking forward to using this on our vacation this year we are going to a lot of historic buildings with poor lighting this lens is incredible

I really like this lens. It is easy to use. It is great for close ups. It has sharp focus. Being a fixed focal length, it makes you think more about your shots. I use it more than my other lenses.

I got this lens to take pictures at my sisters wedding and it worked great. The photos are excellent, plus I am new the dslr photography.

The 50mm lense has a nice clean shot to it. Not much zooming going on but going in and out of focus for cuts on music videos looks realy good with the steady clean shot I get with the 50
