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 lens is ok to get you by if you can't afford the 1.4 but I ended up returning it after using once. If you've used the 1.4 version you won't be able to step back to this but if you're in a pinch and need a decent, lightweight cheap lens this one works just fine.

    Got this for my husband and he's been really happy using it with his Canon D80, he says it's doing good to focus on his subject. Definitely recommends this to other photographers as well.

    I haven't used this a lot yet but comparing it to the 24mm I just picked up it is definitely worth the money. Also I am trying just to start buying ef lenses instead of ef-s ones.

    This is by far, my favorite portrait lens. It lives in my camera most of the time. And it’s rare that I use a different Lens. Clarity is amazing.
