    This lens is a fantastic lens. Great lens when you want to replace your standard kit lens. I am glad my old lens broke because I love this one.

    While it is limited in capability being a fixed focal length, this is extremely easy to use. This lens has replaced my 55-105mm zoom lens as my general use lens.

    Great lens, overall. It's difficult if you're trying to take a pic of people unless you have ample room to move back as it's a 50mm fixed but for what I use it for a lot (products, cars, etc as well as videos) it's great!
