    This lens has become my go to lens for just about everything. Great for portraits. You get a great bokeh effect with a brilliantly blurred background. This lens also teaches you how to position yourself properly with the stationary zoom. A must have for all photographers.

    This lens is perfect for a crop sensor camera! With the crop factor, this lens acts like a 75mm lens which is perfect for portraits. Would recommend shooting at F:4 or lower for tack sharp photos

    Bought this lens for its 1.8 F stop. Wanted to fade backgrounds that I couldn't do with the zoom for my D610. Posted my third photo on Facebook, and a friend noted: so glad to see someone knows how to use the F stop correctly!

    This lens has been the best addition to my photography equipment. The depth of field is amazing, and it's pretty durable. I was really glad it came with a lens hood as well.
