    They call it the nifty fifty for a reason! I mostly use it for portraits! The f1.8 gives a beautiful background blur. It's my first prime lens and it's great, especially at only $125!

    This lens is amazing. It's always on my camera. Focus is really quick and quiet. One of the main reasons I got this was for the bokeh effect it has and I was not disappointed.

    My son does automotive photography and he says this lens is perfect for the job. You definitely need to buy a circular polarizer for it but other than that, he says you're good to go.
