    This lens is perfect for outdoors scenery pictures that you may want to blur out the background. You point and shoot and your subject will be crisp and clear standing out from the background. I am a beginner photographer and have had challenges in achieving this setting manually, but with this lens just pop it on and set your F-stop to the lowest number and boom...your picture looks like a pro took it.

    This lens is a great partner for my EOS M50. Perfect for portraiture, bokeh and blurring are really good. With an aperture of 1.8 it is ideal for archieving these two effects. Excellent purchase !!-

    this lens is the best buy I ever made for my camera. It makes it so easy to give your pictures that look of a high paying professional. I used it to take my nephew's second birthday pictures and they turned out terrific.

    Purchased this lense for our daughters Homecoming night photos and it was a great choice. All the pictures turned out fantastic. I'm a hobby photographer, family photos mostly and my youngest daughter's soccer events. Would highly recommend!

    I just began my journal in photograph and I was so much skeptical whether it was going to be easy or not. It has been the most enjoyable thing I have experienced. Thanks for making this journey pretty good. Awesome product!

    This is a definite must have for your bag. It is great for portrait shots! At first it feels weird because its so zoomed in, but just know this isn't meant to replace your kit lens, just something you use to make some of your photos look great!

    I knew exactly what I needed from this lens, when I was going to purchase it. As always, excellent product from Canon. Might sound pricey, but you pay for the quality, and I would do so any day. Must buy for short range photos.
