    Lens is a little slow to focus in low light. There was a firmware update to help with this. Takes great pictures. Good value.

    I guess for the price this is a decent buy, but unfortunately on a crop sensor body it's just not wide enough for general use. Also I have a problem with my camera not detecting when the lens is on, so I have to remove it and re mount just to adjust the settings. Last thing I dislike is I could not get it to focus to infinity, works fine in the day time but I was trying to get a night shop with the stars and couldnt get anything but round bubbles

    This is a good “nifty fifty” lens if you are on a budget . It’s sharp and over all images is good .but it hunts in lowlight .
