    At this price range, you're bound to have to make some compromises. If you need a fast lens that's tack sharp, you will have a hard time finding anything cheaper than this one. Bear in mind that this lens doesn't have image stabilization so if your camera doesn't either, you'll want to use a tripod for most shots.

    I recently got into photography and was told to get this lense if I wanted those high end shots that have a lot of blur in the background. Instantly I could tell how much nicer my shots were with this camera, makes an amateur look like they know what they’re doing.
