    I saw that you should have this in your collection of lenses but mine does not get much use. But it is a nice lens.

    It's a Canon lens. It's a must-have for most photographers. Gives you the option of having your subject in nice and sharp in your background skewed.

    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!

    This is a great versatile lens for any level of photographer! After six months, I have yet to be disappointed by this great purchase. Make sure to pair with a lens filter as this is a great protector!

    Great starter lens. Create nice and sharp images, good bokeh, great in low lighting thanks to the 1.8 fstop, and a great price!

    Lens is ideal for the money. I opted for the f1.8 over the f1.4 based on other reviews I had read. Happy with the purchase.

    If I had a $150 budget and could only have one lens on my camera, this would be it. I've done whole music video shoots with this lens only. You will not find a better bang for your buck than with this lens. Hands down.
