    I'm an amateur still learning as I go. I read many comments on photography sites saying this lens was a must have in your gear. I decided to give it a try especially since it's pretty affordable. I am in love with this lens! It is so much fun to use! The amazing focused and blurred results I get in my shots have inspired me so much. I highly recommend this lens for amateurs.

    This is a great lens for any photographer. It's very affordable and great for low light and wide aperture shots. It will help beginner photographers increase there skills because it is a prime lens. My only complaints are that the image quality could be better and it's hard to get you focus correct at wide apertures. It is also noisier then I expected when focusing. That being said it is still highly recommended.

    Just starting out in portrait photography on an APS-C camera (T5i) and this is a great lens to start off with. It has taken many quality portraits that have been used for senior pictures.

    This lense is great for anyone looking to increase the focus of a subject and blur out the background of the photo. Gives a professional feel while keeping more money in your pocket.

    This purchase was for a friend. She's had it for about a month and absolutely adores it. She used it for my graduation pictures and they turned out perfectly requiring minimum edits.

    A pro quality lens that makes for clean and crisp photos. Very large aperature makes for some very versatile shooting. F-stop of 1.8 is great and totally worth it for Portraiture.
