    Good lens to capture pictures up close with great quality and blur out the back for a neat look.

    I bought this lens again because I had dropped my camera and broke my previous lens. I always loved it for its lightness, portability, and affordability, so I just had to buy it again for headshots mostly.

    This lens is great if you are taking stills (portraits, headshots, etc.) doesn’t zoom, so don’t count on being able to catch far away shots. Best range seems to be about 12-25 feet.

    Works perfect with M50 using an adaptor I got from Amazon for not too much. It does add weight to the camera but nothing that can't be handled by most.

    I am a part time portrait photographer and after hearing great things about this inexpensive nifty little lens I decided to purchase it. I love it. Great for portraits and some occasional land scape shots.

    The plastic fantastic. The nifty fifty whatever you want to call it it’s the best bang for the buck with fast auto focusing for starting out because it’s cheap and reliable.
