    Love this lens! perfect for portraits. I use this lens for almost every single photoshoot. I dont like using it inside though because you have to be very far away from your subject. But outside, it is wonderful!!

    I have been using my kit lenses for the last year and they have worked well, but I have never been able to get a good portrait based on the higher aperture. This lens has made it much easier for me to get a high quality portrait with crisp edges and excellent focus.

    I shoot professionally and needed a cheap prime lens for a shoot. Focus is a little slower compared to higher quality Sony lenses, but for portraiture work fast focus isnt quite as critical as an event. Bought on sale and happy with it for a cheap lens.
