    Got this lens mainly for the aperture to get that bokeh background and it's great for the price. Really blurs the background well and gives good sharp images.

    I bought this lens specifically for focusing on one object and blurring the background and it does just that. I have gotten some great shots using this lens.

    I had a 50mm f1.8 (non-stm) and it broke and decided to get this one. Performs better and has more of a solid construction.. I recommend this item hands down. Get one!

    I really like this lens. Nice bokeh for portraits. Quick silent focusing. The only problems I have experienced are, purple fringing mostly on high contrast areas and the image quality isn't very sharp if you're more than a few feet away from your subject. The lens is great when you are close to your subject. Great deal, I always have it with me.
