    Purchased this lens for newborn photography in our studio. You can shoot photos and be close to a newborn or small child without worrying that the child will roll or fall over.. The quality is excellent

    We purchased this a gift for our college-aged daughter to add to a camera we purchased for her two years ago. She absolutely loves the improved quality of her pictures!

    This is a good lense to start getting used to prime lenses. The auto focus is a little so-so, but the manual focus range is amazing. Highly recommend this for your into to prime lenses.

    This lens. My god. Shoots phenomenal motion and at night. I've done a few shoots already with this attached to my D3200 and I've loved every second. It's now my go-to lens. I do a lot of automotive photography and am just getting into family and human shots (took me 3 dang years). This lens along with my 50mm nikon lens is the bees knees to say the least. Definitely worth every single penny!

    Daughter wanted a camera for her birthday and this lense also. She's just beginning to take pictures and she loves this lense better than the 2 that came with the camera package.

    This is my favorite lens so far. You can make the background of your subject like blurry at the lowest aperture. One of the lenses a photographer must have.

    The f 1.8 aperture really expands my available light options and lets me precisely control depth of field. It brings back fond memories of my film photography days.

    I really like this lens. It takes super sharp pictures. However, it is not a lens for Every purpose. Since you can't zoom it's sometimes hard to get everything on the picture.

    Great lens for low light. No VR on this lens, but, unless you're burning off three cups of coffee, you won't really need it. I use a tripod quite a bit, so that really isn't an issue for me.
