    I wanted a lens that gave me a different type of angle and view and this did that it works great with my Nikon camera. I'm glad i added it to my collection.

    Good lense for close ups plus works well scenery pictures. We are learning more uses the longer we have it. We find we can get good pictures at about 9 inches.

    When I purchased the camera bundle, I didn't realize that the "basic" lens wasn't included. I bought the camera as my daughter thought it was what I needed, and she didn't realize that this lens wasn't included either. I can now use my camera better and more often.

    If you want blur backgrounds, this is the one! It works mostly for close ups or taking pictures of items. Not for far distances.
