Customers are saying

Customers are pleased with the excellent lens quality, sharpness, and overall performance of the product, often highlighting its ease of use and great value. They also appreciate its ability to create good background blur and depth of field, as well as its low weight. The primary concern, however, is that the auto-focus struggles in dimmer light conditions.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

The vast majority of our reviews come from verified purchases. Reviews from customers may include My Best Buy members, employees, and Tech Insider Network members (as tagged).

    I purchased this lens for Christmas for my son. I was on his wish list and he was very excited to receive this gift. It was shipped on time and packaged well to protect the lens. I love that it is Canon and works perfectly with his camera. I already knew the lens had great reviews and I concur.
