Customers are saying

Customers have good things to say about the product's superb image quality, pleasing bokeh, and strong low light performance. Many also appreciate its ease of use, lightweight design, and suitability for portrait photography due to its good shallow depth of field, especially considering its price. The only notable concern raised by a small number of customers is an occasional issue with autofocus.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

The vast majority of our reviews come from verified purchases. Reviews from customers may include My Best Buy members, employees, and Tech Insider Network members (as tagged). Select reviewers may receive discounted products, promotional considerations or entries into drawings for honest, helpful reviews.

    This lense should be in every nikon owners camera bag. Fast quiet focus motor. Sharp photos, especially in low light. Great for portraits.

    It's hard to imagine a better "bang for your buck" lens. Much better than the kit lens that comes in most entry-level DSLR packages.
