    This is a great lower priced option for the 50mm, if you have the budget, spend the extar money for the f1/4 50mm lens, but this one is excellent for a beginner.

    50 MM is a great lens that is very fun and interesting to use. From the beginner to the very well round photographer. Small, light & compact, as well as very stylish.

    Shoots great in photoshoot situations. Works awesome for video. No zoom, so it is great to use when you're shooting in a room. It is my favorite lense and my go to.

    It is awesome for close up/closer distance pics with that beautiful blurred background. I take lots of indoor shots so this lightens the shot which is what I needed!
