    Let's start off by I'm a beginner at photography. But I'm the type that wants the best of the best. All of my buddies told me to get the better graded lens but I figured I'll give this a chance since the sales person said its not a huge difference for what I would be using it for (pictures of my kids). And I chanced it the day before my son's birthday party and I was so surprised of the quality. I highly recommend this lens for beginners and pros.

    Awesome lens - great with my d5300 - the 1.4 was available for 200 dollars more but the 1.8 was good enough for me.

    For landscapes and bigger portrait shots, this is the lens to get! Took amazing pictures at Yosemite and other California parks with it. 10/10 product from Nikon, and the autofocus is a DREAM. Buttery smooth and high quality parts.

    I've had my eye on this lens for a few months. I finally gave in to it and picked it up. It takes very sharp pictures. I do a lot of outdoor nature and landscape photography though I'm still very amateur. The aperture range is perfect for what I'm using it for. I also intend to do my son's senior pictures and I think this lens will help me get great shots.

    I’m beginning photography and I decided to get this lens for my Nikon D5600. I can honestly say that it takes great portraits!! I don’t even know if I’m using it correctly or even to it’s best capabilities but just from what I’ve seen it’s amazing. I gave 5 stars because I’m sure I’m not using it to its full potential and I like it a lot so image what it’s fully capable of

    It's a pretty sharp lens for the price. It does occasionally miss auto focus. It's a very light and rather small lens. I own a 35mm Tamron that is better build quality and larger glass than this. It's not a bad purchase for the price though
