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).

    The picture quality on this lens is just phenomenal. The only issue is that on a Non-full frame DSLR it's a bit long.

    This lens is okay but even shooting wide open it doesn't have the bokah needed for professional quality prints. The sharpness is fine stopped down around f4 to f5.6 but a little soft below that. I'd recommend spending the extra money on the 1.4g version.
