    Decided to invest in a camera because I didn't wanna buy a phone every year for a new camera, I have an canon M50 and this lense was the most requested and highly respected. The pictures are so crisp with this lense, the focus is unbelievable. Cant wait to purchase more lenses.

    Clean Shots Killer Lens

    Awesome lens for the money. Stm motor is smooth, optics are super clean and sharp, build quality is mediocre at best. This lens will deliver when it counts. I got it for outdoor portraits and on the fly stuff. It's small, light, portable. I would recommend getting this lens over more expensive models if you travel a lot and really need to optimize your space or there is a possibility of damage, you need a quick lens that won't weigh you down, or you really want to break into the portrait scene. It's an easy first step for beginning photographers to really understand their camera and their capabilities.

    I needed a lens for taking close ups. This lens works great for that. Easy to remove and replace with one hand while holding the camera with the other one.

    Good lens! Arrived really quick. I like that it actually lets you move the lens to focus. My other lens doesn’t let me do that. The only bad thing would be that it is so zoomed in, I don’t know if there’s a way to zoom out and I just haven’t noticed.
