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 lense is great for taking portraits with the shallo depth of field. A little two zoomed for cropped sensors.

    Love this lens. I was going to get the previous version of it since it was on sale but although that one had great reviews, I got this one since several others noted that it was better constructed. Great for capturing photos of my VERY active toddler!
