    Have no idea what I have been been missing and why I waited so long to buy this lens. Should be a mandatory item for any aspiring amateur photographer.

    This is a fantastic prime lens for $200. This stays on my camera 90% of the time. If you are wanting another lens besides the kit lenses this is the ONE!

    This is a great choice for a first prime lens to add to a lens kit. It stops down to 1.8 fstop allowing for a shallow depth of field.

    I recommend this lense to anyone who wants to upgrade from their kit lense. For the price, being able to shoot at 1.8 aperture helps in shooting in low light conditions.

    A bit tight to fit on my dx3300, it took a little time to hook it up. Took a photo for test and it looked great. I have not used it much yet.
