    I bought this lense for close up detail shots of flowers and their petals. Amazing detail brilliance and color. Works better than I imagined.

    You can never go wrong with having a Nifty Fifty prime lens in your camera bag. It's great for low light portraits!

    I could not have been more pleased with this lens. The quality difference between it and the "boxed" lens is incredible. Images are much sharper.

    Perfect Lens for portraits and close ups. Don’t expect to be taking landscape of bug family photos with this lens. That’s just not what it’s for. It’s works perfectly for what it’s made to do.

    This lens is okay but even shooting wide open it doesn't have the bokah needed for professional quality prints. The sharpness is fine stopped down around f4 to f5.6 but a little soft below that. I'd recommend spending the extra money on the 1.4g version.

    The picture quality on this lens is just phenomenal. The only issue is that on a Non-full frame DSLR it's a bit long.
