    Nice affordable lens. It was my first non kit lens and I love it. Creates a really nice bokeh.

    We really enjoy this lens. It not only takes great pictures but is small so it keeps the camera lite and easy to handle. I heard this was the first item to get after your camera purchase. I will agree, it takes amazing close up shots of our kids. It has been fun to play with. The only thing I would say is the downside is indoor shots. It has a zoom feeling so we have to switch back to our 18-55 so capture a full room shot.

    This lens produces great images and it’s over $1000 cheaper than other prime lenses.

    A must-have for every photographers bag. This little lens is very inexpensive, very light-weight, very unobtrusive (unlike larger lenses that draw alot of attention) and extremely helpful in low-light situations (if you know how to shoot in Manual or Aperture Prioity Mode).

    I have an old Canon Rebel XS and was looking for a lens for taking pictures of people. This lens has great reviews and is inexpensive so I thought I would give it a try. I'm very happy with this lens and was amazed at how well my portraits look now, the wide aperture makes a beautiful bokeh and lets you focus on a specific distance for the perfect shot. Do yourself a favor and get this lens!

    Love this lens so much! Makes for clear & bright images, and perfect for portraits. It has the option to autofocus which is super helpful when you need to just get the photo and move on. Also Best Buy was quick with shipping the lens out and it arrived 2 days early. 100% planning to order my next lens from Best Buy.
