    I am really happy with the quality of pictures this prime lens takes. It was at a good price and I could not pass it up. I am really impressed with the close up portrait shots I can take with this lens. The low f-stop also helps get those super clear close shots with just the right amount of bokkah in the background.

    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.
