The reasonable price and lightweight design also contribute to its appeal. However, some customers have noted concerns regarding the focusing noise and compatibility issues with certain EOS bodies.

    For the price this lens does what it promotes. I was confused as to what lens to start with to do do basic "well focused" all around shots. The reviews helped, and I am happy with the shots I get with this lens.

    I really like that this lense is very compact and works well with Canon 80D. The price point for this is great and also good for video recording.

    I was looking for a lens with less zoom- I researched this online and it seemed to be exactly what I was looking for. I picked it up in the store and have enjoyed using it ever since

    This was one of the most recommended lenses for my dslr. And not knowing much about camera lenses at the time this didn't come up short in performance it's the best.

    I use this lens as an inexpensive macro lens. It's not a true macro lens, but has a close focus range. I've got some great close ups of flowers, particularly the interior of flowers.

    Already used the nifty-fifty, but I prefer this one, even knowing that this is a f/2.8. You don't have to step back as you do with the 50mm.

    So I use this lens for my Vlogs on YouTube and it gets a great blurry background, the only thing is you can’t zoom in or out. But love it!!!! Recommend it 100%!!!!!

    This lens comes with me on every shoot. I use it with my Canon 80D and works perfect in good lighting conditions. It’s not that great in low light.
