Customer Ratings & Reviews

A fantastic light weight lens. Very impressed with the image quality.

I've never owned a fixed/static lens, but knew I wanted one to get that "boket" effect they talk about. It does that and brings in a lot of light, too. After learning how to pick what focus setting you want, you'll learn how to get sharp pics that start to "blur" at the edges. 50mm means you will stand 3-6 feet away, but that's not a problem.

Easy to use, takes great indoor photos, a must have item to own

Love this lens for my Nikon!! Easy to use, wonderful results!!

I purchased this lens to take family portraits using my Nikon D3200 and it makes my pictures look amazing, just as all the other reviews have said. Very happy with my purchase

This lense is hard to focus at 1.8, but works well and takes sharp photos otherwise. It was a good purchase and a good lens to add to your kit!

I would recommend this lens as a first choice for beginners or hobbist looking to move away from the 18-55 that came with the camera. Crisp and clear subjects. Great lens for portraits.

Quality is great. Using is simple and easy. I really like it

Great lens for a beginner, easy to install and gets great images.

Love this lens. Its fast and very sharp. The price is great.

Perfect lens for portraits and indoor candid shots that you don't want to use a flash for. Great lens option for the amateur or professional photographer. Affordable price. Only problem I've noticed is that you have to be quite far back from your subject to make them fit into the frame. This is just something to get used to though.

great bokei effect, light to use and a good first lens

I have a Nikon D7200 and D3400, I have used this lens on both and the picture quality comes out smooth like butter on both of these DX bodies. This a perfect first prime lens, great fro street photography and really good for portraits.

This lens is awesome! I’m a beginner and just purchased my first DSLR camera. One of my photographer friends suggested I start out with a 50mm lens. I’m very pleased with my purchase. It’s compact, very affordable, and the photos are incredible!

I absolutely love this lens! I definitely upped my photography game as a beginner. I have two zoom lenses but I couldn’t get the bokeh effect I was wanting. This prime lens has helped me effectively get the bokeh effect I’m looking for in my photographs.

Great addition to my camera. Excellent for portrait-style photography.

This lens is incredible! I'm actually using it more than the stock 18-55 lens that came with the camera. No zoom, which means that I have to physically get closer or farther from my target, but the image is sharp and detailed. Definitely would recommend this lens! Everyone should have it in their bag always.

Awesome Lens to create awesome pics great for begginers

Bought this lens for my Nikon D7100, which is a DX camera, but this FX lens used on a DX camera is about 85mm and the Bokeh this lens produces is simply amazing ! In portrait photography a blurred background ( Bokeh) puts all the emphasis on the in focus subject, ie: the person your photographing !

Beautiful lens!! Pictures are crisp and professional!
