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.

    Great Lens

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I bought this lens a few years back. It was the first lens I'd purchased besides the kit lens, and I bought mainly because I'd read so many great reviews. One thing to note is that it is not as sturdy as the more expensive lenses. The first one I owned broke, but I replaced it. It's possible to achieve a very shallow depth of field with the 1.8 and it's great for bokeh effects (Seriously, get a bokeh effects kit. It's COOL!). But unfortunately the color quality could be better, but for $125 it's honestly a great deal. Especially when you consider how expensive lenses can be. If you're a beginner and/or you just want something fun without a hefty price tag, then this is for you!
