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 picked this lens because of the ability to take portrait photographs. It will fit both DX and FX cameras.

    I'm a beginner with a DSLR and I haven't quite figured out the ins and outs of this lens. I used this lens at work to take photos of customer damage on our product. The pictures came out dark even with a flash. I've increased the aperture and the photos still came out dark. The photos were also blurry when I tried to take a close up of the damage. I replaced the lens with the lens that came with my camera and the pictures were brighter and clearer. I have taken pictures at home with the stock lens and I didn't have a problem with it. I would have to play with it a little more to get it to work the way it should. There is a learning curve if you're new with DSLR cameras. Would I recommend it to a friend? Ask me when I learn how to use the lens correctly.

    This is my go-to lens for shooting in different situations; bands and head-shots. The auto-focus on the lens is extremely fast, very little if any lens distortion. And it being f/1.8 it's great for low light situations. I've used it on both the D7100 and D850.
