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.

    I would say that for the $$$ this is a truly great lens. One of the sharpest of Nikon's offerings, and even sharper than the more expensive 50mm f1.4 lens. No regrets.

    I got this lense to add to my Nikon kit I purchased from BestBuy. Works great for portraits and blurring the background. I am not a pro photographer but I wanted to get better pictures than my phone.
