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 is an all purpose fixed length lens that is great for separating background from foreground (portraits, etc). Nothing fancy about it, but it allows a faster shutter speed, which is nice. The ONLY concern I have is that I photograph models with it and at 50mm I have to stand back about 15 or more feet to get a full body shot, and more if she's tall. I don't always have that much room when shooting indoors so beware of that.

    This lens has made close up pictures really easy and professional looking. The focal point is severely focused in the center and the background is properly blurred. I love taking pictures of people & animals with this lens.
