    I purchased this lens because I wanted to be able to take great portrait shots. I couldn't be more pleased with it. I was able to take engagement shots of me and my fiancee (using my tripod and remote control) for our upcoming wedding and the results were fantastic.

    I purchased this lens on the recommendation of a photographer I know and wow is it ever amazing. I can't imaging needing any other lens unless I need to zoom in on the moon or something. This is one of the best lens's I've ever had.

    Clear photos with ease of use. I primarily shoot in auto because let's face it, I have five kids and manual settings take too long sometimes so I just shoot auto and this lens helps make it so that I can just point and shoot.

    This lens is excellent for any beginner! If you are looking for something sharper and higher quality you'll have to pay the higher prices but for someone just getting into photography you can't go wrong with this lens.

    Just what I expected from a Nikon lens. I haven't had a real chance to put it through it's paces yet, but I am really enjoying the greater control of depth of field and ability to use faster shutter speeds the app.erature allows

    I love this lens! It has amazing bokeh and clarity for the price point. I’m not a big fan of the 50mm focal length for a crop sensor, but the lens performs great in all conditions for me when I need it.

    I was suggested this lense by another photographer because I am just starting out and wanted something a little better than the kit lense. I am very happy with my purchase. The photos I have taken come out crystal clear

    Installed it on Nikon DX 3300 and took a few test shoots indoor and it looked pretty good. It seems the image quality is better than using Nikon DX 35mm f/1.8G lens, I have both lenses.

    I have a D3300 and this lens is a great addition to my bag. Does a good job with low lighting. It is fairly focused so you don't get as wide of a shot as on the 35mm lens but it still works amazingly for single portrait shots and still life.

    I would not say that I am a professional photographer in any sense however, I can tell you that this lens is incredible. I am able to use this in low light or a lot of light and the colors I am able to capture is just superb.

    This lens has a very shallow focus range making it easy to focus on something or someone and blue out the back ground. It also takes fantastic photos in low light. This lens has given new life to my 8+ year old camera.
