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.

    I bought my Nikon D3100 as a bundle from another store about two years ago. It came with one zoom lense. I was NEVER getting the shots I wanted I always felt like they were very out of place and just ugly. FINALLY I was able to afford this 50 mm lense. Best lense I have EVER bought and has completely made me change my mind about just buying a standard point and shoot device.
