    50mm f/1.8

    This lens is the biggest bang for you buck. At around $200 feels like it's prices way higher for the quality you get out of it. Beautiful 1.8 shots close up with a creamy blurry background. Def worth the price it is, surprised it isn't more.

    I recently picked up this new lens, and it’s been a fantastic addition to my photography gear. The image quality is sharp and vibrant, capturing details beautifully. Its fast and accurate autofocus ensures I never miss a moment, making it perfect for both spontaneous shots and planned compositions. Plus, the sturdy build gives me confidence when shooting in various conditions. Overall, I’m thrilled with this lens and highly recommend it to fellow photographers.
