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.

  • Great lens for low light and portraits

    This is a great entry level lens for both portraits and low light on a DX body. When closed down a stop or two, this lens gets really sharp. The build quality is solid and focuses fairly well. It struggles to focus with strong backlighting, though; but, everything at this price point does. (Focuses best when using center point in tough lights)
