    If you are wanting to step up your photography skills this should be the first lens you buy after the kit lens. Easy to use and fast focus when on AF.

    I like the lens, the focus ring takes more to adjust focus unlike the previous version but feels a lot better than the previous version. Definitely worth he buy.

    I recently dropped and broke my other 50mm lens. But I'm kind of glad because this one is a bit different and seems to be more quiet and efficient!

    Lens works great and is a decent price. The only down side is it's plastic feel. It doesn't feel as solid / durable as I would like.

    Great macro lens, but makes a lot of noise. Would have thought it was defective if I hadn’t read the other reviews.
