Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is a great lens. Several family members and friends went out and bought it as well once they saw the pictures I was able to get with it. We used it for my daughters newborn pictures and they couldn’t have been better!

Great inexpensive prime lens. The reviews and reputation of this lens are awesome and true. Most have if you want to save cash and are ok with using it on a none stabilized F-mount camera.

photo results of wide landscape - excellent photo results of nature up close - stunning clarity. great for wiggling babies using quick shutter speeds. very desirable lens.

I purchased this lens to match with my Nikon d5300 and I was very impressed with the quality. The Lens came with a Lens cap, hood and small protective bag. I couldn’t be more happier with this purchase.

This lens is a great prime. You have to zoom with your feet. You can get close to your subjects and its good for some landscape shots as well. With an aperture of 1.8, it's a fast lens. It lets a lot of light in. Autofocus is really fast too.

Really a no brainer - a prime Nikon Lens under $200.00. Presently I use this lens about 90% of the time. Looking forward to some great photos.

This is literally the best affordable all around lens you can get for a nikon dslr. Easily replaces an 18-55 from a kit. I always keep this lens, a 50mm prime (for the bokeh), and a 55-200mm in my bag. I have not found a situation where I needed something else.

Nice prime lens to start out with and it’s great for shooting portraits on a crop sensor camera!

I shoot my daughters volleyball games with this lens, Wow the low f stop 1.8-2.8 makes a huge difference for action shots. this is a great lens for the money. for sport dads and moms I highly recommend it.

This is the first lens I bought for my Nikon D3200. It gives you a normal view and is the first lens I recommend to new photographers. It has great low light performance at 1.8. The colors and contrast are great on this lens. It is also tack sharp and focus is great.

I already have the 50mm F/1.8 lens and love it. I expected this lens to be just as great and provide more flexibility indoors. I am not disappointed. This is a wonderful everyday lens when you are able to zoom with your feet. Great for portraits!

This lens is good for various settings. It's not too wide and not zoomed in like the 50mm. It works good in low light situations and distortion is minimal. Bokeh however, is not as creamy on this lens as the 50mm but is still present.

It was suggested I purchase this lense to have as part of my lense collection. Store demo of how to blur the background sealed the deal. Still getting used to the no zoom part, but overall a good choice.

This is a very nice lens. Took great pics. The only reason I returned it was because all my lenses start at 18mm and I didn’t like having to step back to get more than a close up so I’ll get something similar

The use of this lens allows for better capture ofnlights due to its fast speed, of lower f/ number.

This lens has replaced all the lenses in my sons camera bag as he inspires o be a future professional photographer. This allows him to capture many pictures he was not able to do without changing his lens several times

It is a fast lens good for shooting street shots or indoors, great depth of field at all f/stops, and real sharp. Use on my D7000 and have some really beautiful shots of animals and skylines of atlanta with it.

I added this lens to my gear specifically for portraits does the job well, produces beautiful images with a soft background.

Decent portrait lens. Nothing special on this . Just another missile on your arsenal.

This is a must have portrait lens. Also it is one of the cheapest options available. Produces sharp and crisp pictures.
