    Makes everything photography blurr but it doesnt zoom in or out. You have to move back and forth. With a 4year old its hard to use it. She follows me so close its hard to take photos with that. Not recommend for moms that want to catch kids in action.

    This is a decent quality lens for the cost. Not for professional quality photos. It didn’t meet my standards but not bad for enthusiasts.

    I bought this fixed 50mm For macro work, which it is pretty good for. Not as great for portraits though. I thought it would be a little more versatile.

    It's a good FX lens for portraits, stills. I wouldn't call it a "must have" but nice to have. Lens had a good amount of dust inside of it unfortunately.

    Salesman told me it would surpass my current lens. He was wrong. When I went to return the lens I was told there was a restocking fee. Biggest mistake.

    My standard lens did pretty much the same , I guess overall you need a bigger body camera to get the really wide shots

    It often makes the subject blurry as well as the background. I was really excited to get this lens, but it's not everything I hoped it could be.
