    This is a great lens for beginners on a budget. It was easy to operate and takes great pictures. They didn't have it in stock so I prepaid it and they had it at the store in a few days. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable and professional.

    Nifty Fifty We All Need

    The nifty fifty lense is truly amazing for a photographer on a budget. f1.8 is more than enough aperture you need for those perfect portrait shots with great bokeh. It focuses quickly and is very quiet. A great lense that we all need to own!

    I purchased this lens because it has an f stop of f/1.8. I primarily use the lens with a set of extension tubes for extreme close up macro photography. It is a great lens for a very good price.

    Love it, it has become my favorite lens. Bought it for wife (she is just starting off) and she love it. Uses it on every shoot, i believe this is the lens that blurs out the background by faces are cristal clear.

    This is a good lens that is a must have in everyone’s camera bag. Only down side is that it is plastic but it’s not that big of a deal...besides that I really like this lens and am excited to see what it can capture

    Well not sure if the true nifty fifty is the 1.4 or this 1.8 but it works great either way. Fast focus and wonderful pictures from this lens. Needed in a rush for a film shoot and fit the bill.

    Very happy with this lens. I have the canon 77d and it works great with it. Pictures are amazing. Yeah it does have a plastic feel, but for a $125 I have zero complaints. It’s relatively fast and works amazing for my needs.

    Bought this lens to accompany my 18-135mm. Have taken beautiful pictures with this lens and no filters. (Still on the fence about purchasing filters) Overall, I'm pleased with the nifty fifty and the price I paid.

    The "nifty fifty" is a must have in your camera bag. The aperture of the lens is excellent for the price. I would highly recommend this lens for the amateur to mid level photgrapher.

    This lens is really very fun to shoot with. It creates a great blurred background when taking portraits and at the price it’s so worth the money. I have really enjoyed taking photos of my kids with this lens as well as objects.

    BEST BUDGET LENS FOR PORTRAITS. I was able to capture graduations, milestone birthdays, and many other events. If you know your settings, no editing needed. It will not disappoint!

    This was a recommended lens on a photography blog/website I follow. I was able to get it on sale and tried it out right away. I'm new to the DSLR level of cameras but this little lens is going to be fun to play with. Very happy with my purchase.

    Perfect for all the up close food photography and detail work I need to do. If you want to get up close without getting to close, but still capturing all the details, this is the lens for you. Great for getting a cool bokeh effect too!

    I really like the background blur of this lense. It’s small and portable which makes it easy to carry. Also affordable for the quality. Can’t really zoom in or out but that’s expected
