    Pretty darn good lens for $99 buck. My first prime, nice experience working with fixed focal length. Hard to argue that this should be in pretty much anyone's bag (except for pro or consumer pro users). Note that it is an STM and if you use AF, you will hear noise.

    I needed a single-focus small lens capable of night pictures, and this really did the trick. No complaints, just does the job.
