    I'm pretty much a newbie. I absolutely love this lens. It is what it is. Good quality. Nothing fancy tho. AF works great.

    Great starter lens. Create nice and sharp images, good bokeh, great in low lighting thanks to the 1.8 fstop, and a great price!

    Lens is ideal for the money. I opted for the f1.8 over the f1.4 based on other reviews I had read. Happy with the purchase.

    We use this for taking pics for our food blog and it is great! Had been using a 100mm before this. This 50mm is great.

    If I had a $150 budget and could only have one lens on my camera, this would be it. I've done whole music video shoots with this lens only. You will not find a better bang for your buck than with this lens. Hands down.
