    This lens is amazing but when I half press and it starts to focus, it makes a weird noise. as if something isn't letting it focus.

    Good lens, but it wasn’t super clear from the description that it is a cropped frame lens.

    This came in a packaged deal with my camera, but it has not disappointed yet. Fits my camera with my 18-105mm lens attached and has room for 2 more lenses (max) if need be.

    Good prime lens for under $200 for a DX. I use in on my FX camera in DX mode. This makes it just a bit over a 50mm lens. Works great just feels like plastic.

    This lens takes sharp pictures, the focus is fast. This is the next best lens if you don’t want to spend more than $800.

    I did limited research on this lens but it has worked quite well with my Nikon 5200. Low light pictures are exceptional.

    For us old fogies, this comes very close to replicating a ‘standard’ 50 mm lens for a 35mm SLR.
