    Great lens overall for photography. Not so much for videography.

    Exactly what it claims to be. 50mm prime portrait lens. It will hunt focus when not in use so turn camera off to save battery

    I have used this lense in multiple projects, I enjoy the lense, and the results I achieve with the lense, for both photo and video. The biggest downfall is the loud autofocus motor. If you are using the lense in a video situation where you want to use the audio, you will pick up the motor noise on both the internal camera mic, and external shotgun mics.

    Great for portrait photos. It’s a little close on a crop sensor so be prepared to back up. But that bokeh...great.
