    the quality of this lens is AMAZING for the price. but, as other reviewers have mentioned, it gives you a super close shot that you can't adjust so you have to take SEVERAL steps back while shooting. this is okay in wide open spaces. but, in most circumstances, i did not have enough room to take those steps back and i needed to switch lenses to take my photo. i wish i could say it doesn't bother me too much because i love the quality, but it's honestly a huge inconvenience.

    I purchased this lens as an addition to my kit - photography is a hobby I recently began, and I wanted to add options to my camera. This lens is a great tool for taking close-up pictures in sharp, clear focus. I'm quite enjoying it.

    This lens takes wonderful looking pictures. Just in case you were not aware, there is no zoom functionality so you will have to manually adjust your location to get the best show.

    This lens has everything you need for a prime portrait lens. It’s bright, quick on autofocus and very clear. Coupled with my A6000, it’s a light, compact package that delivers everything you need for great shots.
