Used for my CanonT7 -video Recording and Protrait PHoto shoots . ! Works So Great

This lens is great for taking photos for social media like Instagram, ect

If you’re looking for a good overall everyday lens without breaking the bank, this is it. Absolutely love mine. I do a lot of automotive photography as well as portrait and landscape and this is my go to lens for all different applications. Now, for better landscape I’d recommend maybe checking out a 35mm to get more wide angle but this is a great overall lens.

Though the AF is a little slow, it does the work perfectly for a prime lens. Nice shutter which captures more light than the usual 18-55. Perfect for home use and well lit photography.

this lens is a perfect gift. it was my mother day gift

This is a must have in your bag of lens great head shots and video clips recording and YouTube blogging love it

So far so good. Took clear close up pictures. Good for Macro

just bought the canon SL2 and decided to buy this lens as well based on the reviews here. When I first put the lens on I immediately decided I was going to return it as everything seemed zoomed in. To get a good picture you have to stand back a bit to catch the entire body of the subject. However I decided to give it a try later on in the day and boy was I blown away!!!! The quality of the pictures and the bokeh effect are AMAZING. So glad I didn’t return it. Takes some getting used to if your accustomed to zoom lenses and capturing wider shots. But the purpose of this lens are for up close portrait shots and this thing exceeds my expectations. Video: no good. Focus is too slow so don’t expect much for video.

I picked this up because I have read so many good reviews about this lens and because the price point is very affordable. This now might be my favorite lens to shoot with because it is so versatile. It's smaller form factor allows you to take it anywhere and the quality matches those of more expensive lenses. This also does well in both low lit and bright areas. The auto focus I thought was pretty quite and fast and the overall construction is excellent. No reason why this shouldn't be in your arsenal.
