    You can’t have a complete photo kit without this lens. The F1.8 is fast and sharp for being a value lens. It’s a plastic body and not metal like the 1.4 or 1.2 but you’re not going to need a loan to buy it like the others. They don’t call it the nifty 50 for nothing.

    Love this lens so much! Makes for clear & bright images, and perfect for portraits. It has the option to autofocus which is super helpful when you need to just get the photo and move on. Also Best Buy was quick with shipping the lens out and it arrived 2 days early. 100% planning to order my next lens from Best Buy.

    I have an old Canon Rebel XS and was looking for a lens for taking pictures of people. This lens has great reviews and is inexpensive so I thought I would give it a try. I'm very happy with this lens and was amazed at how well my portraits look now, the wide aperture makes a beautiful bokeh and lets you focus on a specific distance for the perfect shot. Do yourself a favor and get this lens!
