    Great lens for shooting at a bit of a distance. Not a lens for everyday shooting becasue it does not zoom at all.

    This was my first lens purchase aside from the lenses that came with my camera. I bought it after several learning sessions with a friend and my new camera; he recommended I get a 50mm lens. I like the lens, it works great. As I am still new to DSLR photography, I did have some difficulty getting the hang of this lens at first.
