    Was looking for a non "kit" lens for my D3200. Saved me from spending $600+ on a new vacation camera. Love this glass!

    This lens is good for getting details. I need to practice using it more, but I have already gotten some nice shots with it.

    My wife loves this lense. It's her new Go to lense. It does take some time to get used to it and I would suggest using a tripod to manage the vibration and natural body sway.

    Nice and simple, a great value. If you're a photography amateur, like me, you are probably looking for a lens that can get you better fancy blur effects than your Nikon's adjustable lens that came with it. This is that lens.

    This is my first prime lens. I'm glad I chose this one. It takes some getting use to moving yourself instead of just zooming. It forces me to really think about composition. The images are really sharp.

    Definitely a great lense that isn't gonna break the bank, Definitely recommend this over the 1.8D if you want the auto focus and your camera doesn't have its own AF motor

    Great lens for a DX camera. I am happy with the photos using it. If you have a DX camera and are in the market for a wide-angle lens, this one fits the bill.

    For the price this is a great close range portrait lens. It has great color, crispness and reacts fast. We use it on a crop sensor so I can not testify to any softness in the corners. A great substitute for a 50mm if you have a crop sensor.

    It is a basic lens that works fine for simple shooting, but does not focus very fast.
