This lens is fast and pictures are sharp! It is built solid and should be in every camera bag. I have not truly tested video on it but Im sure it will do great. It gets good lighting and honestly its just a fun lens to use for candid shots! For the Price, why even ask just get it!

Good product for my camera, the lens has a small defect in it leaving a tiny bright spot on all of my pictures.

This lens is awesome, and the most amazing part is the price. We use this lens mostly for outdoor family photos, engagement pics, etc. Once you try it you won't want to use anything else. The picture quality and bokeh produced is incredible and compares to high-end lenses.

This is a great lens, glad I bought it but...it does not have any capacity to zoom in or out. I knew that before the purchase, just didn't realize I would miss it as much as I do. Great lens though, just be aware that you will physically be moving back and forth.

Great little lens for pretty much everything. It’s my go-to and never disappoints! Perfect for capturing everything from a creamy bokeh background to the sharp details of an interesting subject. Small and easy to stow away when another lens is needed.

I've been using a 50mm prime lens for about 5 years, and I decided to upgrade it to this newer version. Speed of focusing, glass, and overall improved greatly. Very very happy with this purchase!
50mm are a must have in my book, the 1.8 aperture is great in low lighting situations!!

Bought this lens to accompany by 80D body (purchased body alone without kit lens) and am really loving the bokeh effect I'm able to get out of this lens. I'm actually loving the fact that I can't zoom in and out because it forces me to think more creatively about my shots.
