    This is definitely a much needed lens. Outgrew the lenses my camera kit came with. This is the bread and butter!

    I can't believe this lens, for the price... An amazing value, and the shots at the lower f/stops have great depth of field. I am a huge fan!!!

    I'm an amateur still learning as I go. I read many comments on photography sites saying this lens was a must have in your gear. I decided to give it a try especially since it's pretty affordable. I am in love with this lens! It is so much fun to use! The amazing focused and blurred results I get in my shots have inspired me so much. I highly recommend this lens for amateurs.

    Bought it for my Canon 5D2. Had one in the past but lost it. This takes great pictures. Was a good option for me cause I bought it for our family vacation. Can't go wrong for the price.

    Great little lens. great quality lens and is great for portraits. With the F1.8 it has worked great for me on some Aurora shoots. We'll see how it does on our next vacation.

    They call it the nifty fifty for a reason! I mostly use it for portraits! The f1.8 gives a beautiful background blur. It's my first prime lens and it's great, especially at only $125!

    This lens is amazing. It's always on my camera. Focus is really quick and quiet. One of the main reasons I got this was for the bokeh effect it has and I was not disappointed.
