    This lens is so much better than the kit lens. It takes getting used to not having a zoom but I pretty much use this as my go to lens now.

    Did reviews on both this lens and the Canon 50mm 1.4. For the price is almost a given which one you need!

    Good lens! Arrived really quick. I like that it actually lets you move the lens to focus. My other lens doesn’t let me do that. The only bad thing would be that it is so zoomed in, I don’t know if there’s a way to zoom out and I just haven’t noticed.

    Using the Best Buy app, I purchased this for my little cousin. I saw it was available at my nearest store and was able to pick it up in the hour. Easy in and easy out. Her mom had also bought the Canon camera from Best Buy. Showing a big interest into her photography, I wanted to help encourage her pursuits. Now I get sent great photos of family, friends, and everything else.
