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.

    This prime lens is a great lens for portraits and “talking head” videos... not great for vlogging. There is a range of focus that is very narrow so that things in the foreground and background are nicely blurred... When taking portraits of a group, be sure everyone is in the focus field because it is a narrow range.

    Easy to use, but best used on "manual" setting. If you are looking for a Prime lens for portraits for your FX format Nikon, add this to your bag.

    This lens works wonderfully, I tend to take many photos, the great thing is that there aren't too many lenses out that are even "good" to start off with.
