    i purchased this lens after reading several reviews online and it does not disappoint. this lens hasn't left my 6D since i got it. the reason why i'm leaving off a star is because the focus ring has slowly became stiff. it feels like there's debris under it preventing it from twisting smoothly. the autofocus is nice and buttery smooth though. the lens is also very light due to the plastic build, you'll forget it's there most of the time.

    The background blur effect is very good, if you don’t have enough money to pay your lens, this will be your best choice.

    Superb fixed lens by Canon. Bought it for my Canon eos Rebel t7i that came with a kit lens. A friend recommended I get this one and I couldn’t be happier. I’ve shot mostly sunsets with it and I’m well pleased with its performance.

    Great for portraits. Great for low light situations. Great for videography. Delivers clear crisp pictures. Can do bokeh for cinematic effects. Very compact, it can fit in the bag, ready to go go whenever wherever you need it! And the best part is it’s reasonably priced!!

    I bought this lens along with my Canon 70D to take a few concert photos. It works great for low light if you don't need a zoom lens. Highly recommended!
