    this lens delivers crisp clean shots with minimal effort . Currently shoot with a Canon t5i and the pictures have been amazing. Hold on to your lens cap though...finding a replacement is a daunting task...lol

    Always a great experience shopping at Best Buy. The lens is fantastic and just what I needed for my camera. Great for adding background blurry while shooting pictures.

    This is a great basic lens to have. It works very well. I am very pleased with how my photos taken with this lens turn out. This lens even works pretty well in dim lighting.

    I bought this lens because I wanted something that'd create a nice bokeh for portraits and the price was perfect. I did have to return it because my camera has and crop sensor and made it to a bit harder to use indoors. I had to keep stepping back and sometimes, there wasn't room to step back. But for outdoor photos where I had lots of room, it worked great.

    A nice normal lens that doesn't break the bank. Being an STM lens it is a great improvement over a plain USM lens for video.Like to see more of these lenses in the future.

    Being a nifty fifty, this lens is a basic requirement for almost every photographer. Much better than the previous f1.8. This new version is very quiet and much more smooth.

    This lens is perfect for all my needs. The mechanics work seamlessly and quietly. It squeaked a little bit when focusing at first but now it's soundless. Perfect.

    This v2 of the famous nifty-fifty. Is a really and sharp lens considering the price. You can't go wrong with this. It will make nice bookeh and is great lens for portrait.

    I have owned 3 of these lenses. They provide good image quality and are inexpensive. The only real downside is that they are rather fragile as they are made of plastic housing. I have broken two previously (the only camera lenses I have ever broken). One broke after being dropped only a few inches.
