    I didn't think any lens would be better than my 50mm, but after purchasing this 35mm it has some serious competition.

    One of my favorite lenses. It can't be beat for the price. Tack sharp, fast auto focus, and super light weight. Would buy tomorrow if I lost it today.

    Great little lens, made even better with a $20 reduction in price. A must have lens for anyone who is ready to move beyond basic, beginner photography.

    Great Bokeh at f1.8, which lends to great portrait shots on a crop sensor camera. Great first prime lens to learn how to compose images.

    Bought this lens to give me close to an actual 50mm lens after crop ratio is figured. Drastic improvement versus the 18-55 kit lens

    I bought this prime after already purchasing my nifty fifty. I like that I can shoot wider angles with this lens and still get clear crisp pictures.
