Many appreciate its wide aperture, which creates a pleasing background blur, making it ideal for portraits. The lens is also praised for its affordability and lightweight design. However, some users have noted that the autofocus could be improved.

    This was my first choice lens after using my kits lens that came with the camera. I have really enjoyed this lens as i could easily focus on a subject. It is priced affordably and is one of the best lens for your buck.

    I really enjoy this lens and the clarity I get for the bargain price. I could do without the loud noise it makes, however it's not a deal breaker!

    Have been frustrated b/c of inability to get good shots indoor. Needed a lower f stop to let more light it. For the price this lens is a great solution. I'm loving the shots I'm getting. I'm adjusting to not being able to focus in or out. Love it!

    I have a couple of professional photographer friends who give me tips. I bought this lens on their recommendation. I love the clarity of the photos. I don't have to stand super close to the subject to get a close up. It also makes my camera smaller so I can carry it with me more easily.
