    This is a great first add-on lens when moving up from the includes kit lenses. It let's in more light than the cheaper ones they trlhrow in with SLRs, and the fixed focal length really gets you used to composing your shots better rather than relying on the zoom capability.

    I'm still new as a hobby taking photos. Wildlife and outdoors landscapes. My first prime. I got it for the price and see how I would like using a prime lens and in low light. After I learn the lens and use it more it could be a 5 stars. But right now It provides good pictures.
