    The lens are great, just as advertised on BestBuy online reviews and posted information within the store. - Using the lense was clear for me, easy to control and use during photo moments. The only thing I would recommend is a lenses container or cover so when switching your lenses it won't get damaged while in transit of daily routines/events. Very nice product

    This was my first lens at a fixed focal length and I wish I purchased it sooner. Crisp shots taken with dim indoor lighting. Having a 1.8 aperture makes a huge difference. I am not a big fan of flash photography (especially around babies) so this allows a wider range of shots that come out excellent without the blinding flash. Autofocus was reliable when selected. Great addition to my gear.

    This was my first prime lens purchase. Using on a Nikon d5200 crop sensor . Great lens for the price . Best sharpness at around 2.5f to about 7f. Great broken for portraits too. Most of my photography is landscapes and nature. Not as wide of a lens as I would like for landscape work but you can't go wrong with this for most everything else.

    We shoot expensive product for our Web Site. This lens and the many other ones that we have enable us to get the right shot for the Web Site. The Best Buy Sales People knew exactly which lens to show us. We purchased 5 of them and they were so right. Now we have all of the right lens to shoot the shots that will make us money.

    This is my first prime lens purchase after previously working with the kit lenses that came with my camera. Really impressed with the quality of the photos I’m able to get with this lens and it makes me wants to keep practicing and eventually purchase the 85mm prime lens.

    It is a very good lens for the compact DSLR. The picture quality, and light sensitivity is great with low lights. It is working good with D3400. Should be good with any other Nikon crop sensors.

    This is a great lens, especially for the price. Images are tack sharp and the 1.8 allows shooting in lower light situations. Autofocus is fast with the lens. Used mostly for indoor sports pics, but versatile enough to just about anything. Of course, it's a prime, so you zoom with your feet.

    Must have in lens in your stable. It's lightweight, takes great portrait photos, good bokeh effects, etc. Overall, the build of the lens is pretty nice. I'd highly recommend getting this!
