Many appreciate its affordability and how lightweight and compact it is. However, some customers note that the autofocus could be improved, and some have mentioned that it produces some noticeable noise. The lens is generally well-regarded for its performance and value.

    The low light function of the 1.8 is amazing. Along with high depth of field.

    You can never ever go wrong with the nifty fifty. Always a good starter lens and can use it instead of the super costly 1.4.

    Great lens takes Sharp and crisp photos. It is much better than the kit lens. The only reason why I gave it four stars was because it’s hard to get on. But I would recommend this is somebody else

    Great lens, but especially a great price for a full frame lens! The autofocus can be a bit loud and doesn’t work very fast so good luck with getting pictures in motion. Good for low light portraits.
