    Just upgraded from the last generation “nifty 50”. And I have to say this is better. A little sharper, better build and has a little more weight.

    Great starter lens.! A must have if you are interested in a new hobby. Its significantly cheaper than its sister lens (50mm 1.4 and 50mm 1.2) but gets the job done !

    This lens is great for shots in lower light, allowing for better depth of field as well. The only drawback is the noise and speed of focusing.

    This lens is great for portrait pictures and maybe landscape. It is not a zoom lens so you got to move around a lot to get your shot. Overall, its good to have around
