    If you want to take beautiful portrait picture, buy this lense. It takes awesome pictures and it doesn't cost as much as the L lenses.

    bought this based on reviews. I am still learning the lense and maximizing my camera for better shots.. I have gotten good results of my daughter cheerleading in her school gym with no flash, same for volleyball. the picture quality is way better than my kit lense.

    This lens is exceptional for how relatively inexpensive it is. Far better to purchase this than a Canon 50mm 1.8

    Underrated Portrait Lens

    Pretty good compression for portraits and headshots. Good pricing. It's an older model, but a solid value as the glass is still high quality.

    This lens is a beast!! Now that we got that out the way heres a couple things i love about this lens Price: The price is un matched for the quality you get Quality: Overall this lens has a solid build and good weight to it. The Bokeh you get gives you that dreamy background and depth of field. Also works great in LOW LIGHT!! ALSO YOU GET CLEAR AND SHARP PICTURES AS WELL . PERFECT FOR PORTRAIT P.S *** DISCLAIMER ALWAYS SHOOT RAW AND SHOOT MANUAL IT WILL HELP THE QUALITY OF YOUR PICS IN THE LONG RUN!
