    Great lens. I am a beginner and this lens was recommended to me by fellow photographers. The pictures are sharp and can get that beautiful blur in the background.

    Great budget lens. This is an EF lens. So I loose some angle of view when attaching this lens to my Canon T6s. I wish it had image stabilization. But I can't complain with the price.

    I bought this lens so I could get used to framing better, so far I really like it. Different from the lens kits, but makes you think more about composition. Works Great.

    I use it for everything! An employee suggested I get it because I was a begginer and I shoot wonders with it. If you have the opportunity buy it with your first camera.

    This lense is great especially for the price! Would choose a 24mm lense before this one but that’s just cause I like shooting big groups in close areas.

    Been using my new lens for a few shoots. Been very happy so far. It captures great in low light. No zoom of course on a prime lens, but for the price it takes really nice pictures.
