    So much bang for your buck, This is a great versatile lens, I use it for just about everything. It's a nice solid lens. It's excellent for low light situations where you don't want to use a flash. Heads up, if you have a cropped sensor this becomes an approximately 80mm lens.

    Sharpness, it's all about it. But don't go up to the max aperture if you want more sharpness. Great lens for carrying around during travel. Best for portraits and street photography. Not able to zoom is a drawback, but you have the best quality image.

    This lens is beyond necessary. Don’t get me wrong, I love the lenses that the camera came with, however, they were a little too big for every day use. This lens is exactly what I was looking for and can’t wait to take it on my next hike!

    Solid, quality lens for a good value. I noticed a difference immediately in the quality of my pictures. This will become one of your “go-to” lenses.

    I heard many great reviews from other photographers ....But I was kind of worried having a cropped sensor camera ,how I'd like it . Having a cropped sensor makes this lens closer to a 75mm. But I'm loving this lens and the 1.8 aperture!!

    The staff at Best Buy helped me pick the best lens for portrait wedding and graduation pictures, and this was IT! It literally made me fall back in love with my camera since I had no idea these beautiful pictures were even possible. It’s a must have.

    Before I bought this lens I did a lot of research and it definitely paid off. I found exactly what I was looking for in the price range I was wanting to spend. The bokeh effects are really nice when shooting portraits and the autofocus is pretty fast. I'm very pleased with this purchase.

    This lens is awesome, and the most amazing part is the price. We use this lens mostly for outdoor family photos, engagement pics, etc. Once you try it you won't want to use anything else. The picture quality and bokeh produced is incredible and compares to high-end lenses.

    This is a great lens, glad I bought it but...it does not have any capacity to zoom in or out. I knew that before the purchase, just didn't realize I would miss it as much as I do. Great lens though, just be aware that you will physically be moving back and forth.
