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.

    As the title says, this is my favorite lens (and I own a LOT of lenses). On my DX body AND my FX body. Obviously, on the DX, there is a crop factor applied and on my D7100 it's closer to a 75mm field of view than 50, but it's still a stunning lens. Well built, yet very light. I LOVE LOVE LOVE how this lens works - the sharpness and clarity are out of the ballpark.
