    Heard a lot about the nifty fifty decided to get one, and I'm very pleased with the results. Great for all a around lens. Easy to get blurred background. Feel like I will get a lot of use out of this lens.

    This is an essential prime lens for portrait photography. Great price, fast glass, making it decent in low light situations. Good bokeh too. It is a little slow to focus, but the pros outweigh the cons on this one. You won't go wrong with this entry level lens.

    For the price this lens is excellent especially compared the f1.4 version that's more than 2x the price. The autofocus is a bit slow but I chalk that up to my camera. Image quality is excellent and comprable to the more expensive f1.4 lens

    Lens produces excellent bokah when used as a portrait lens with crop sensor cameras. Also works great in low light situations with the 1.8 aperture. One of the best lenses you can buy for the price it's sold at.

    Unbelievable image quality from this lens. Cannot believe how well priced it is— although I will say I have a preference for 50mm 1.2 if it’s within your budget

    This is an absolutely fantastic lens. I bought it as a gift for my 11-year-old daughter who is just got super into photography and sports photography and she absolutely loves it. It’s doing a great job and helping her out immensely. The price point is fantastic also. I would not hesitate to buy this lens.

    This lens is great for the price! Take great pictures and it is easy to use once learn how to use a prime lens. The only problem I have is the auto focus is too noisy to be used for video. Overall, I will recommend this lens for anyone.
