    Very nice lens for the money. Using on a a T8I. Focuses quickly and accurately and is even across the image. Some softness wide open but overall a great value. Have already used it extensively for candid portrait shots and am happy with the results. Wish I had bought one earlier!

    This is a really good lense for getting the much desired bokeh in a portrait. It's a great lense to have. It is mostly plastic but the mount is metal.

    Great lens - I bought it primarily for the aperture and also based on a great review from my brother in law. If faced with the decision to buy it again, I would in a minute.

    This lense is amazing for that money. The image quality is crisp. Thats a while to get use to it but once you learn how to use it you cant go back to the stock lens.

    this lens delivers crisp clean shots with minimal effort . Currently shoot with a Canon t5i and the pictures have been amazing. Hold on to your lens cap though...finding a replacement is a daunting task...lol
