lens for beginners

"Very Easy to Use...This lens is awesome for closeup, I m beginners so I need little time like 20-30 sec to focus lens correctly to take photo, if you are planning out door trip like going NY or DC to day trip this lens might not be good fit as this is good fit for closeup and portrait...best 50mm for the buck, crazy sharp, 1.8 is good for low light and to use for a shallow DoF and in my oppinion is the best lens to start with for a DX body, so you learn how to possition your self"

"Very easy to use...Good Lens For DX...Much better than my 18-140mm Kit Lens from Nikon, even though I love my 18-140mm lens, this is way better in Bokeh, and a lot clearer in detail for the same type photo as I compared them myself today when I bought it to make sure, I never bought a Prime Lens before but now I am a believer in them...But I keep this lens on my camera at all times indoors so I can finally catch those shots of the kids running around being adorable or doing something goofy and not have to worry about flash or overexposed pictures or out of focus pictures because the kit lens wasn't able to keep up or wasn't open wide enough to take a good shot"

"does a great job...Easy to use lens...I am in love with this lens which I use with my Sony A6000 Camera - It is very easy to mount in a flash and is exactly what I need to capture those once in a lifetime shots...Good in video mode in able light condition (indoor), in still use flash needed in low light condition on average a decent len in good bright condition but not as sharp compare to other lens"

"Very easy to use...Get the job done...I like this lens as a general usage, because it can be used for somewhat up-close shots, along with the 250mm zoom, so I don't have to keep switching out lenses at my daughter's ball games so often...I imagine as I get more into photography I will expand my tool kit but for learning and just getting started this is the perfect lens"

"Very easy to use...My wife loves it...A very good lens to help with photos for the price, hard to use depending on what phone case you might be using but otherwise a good option in lens...They all perform as they should besides one lens which I believe was the Macro that didn't do much for me no matter what I tried, other than that I was impressed by it"

"Very easy to use...my wife loved it...This is a good zoom for beggining.Good image quality in outdoors.Best if used with a tripod or monopod.There is no image stablizer so the futher you zoom the steadier the camera has to be.On the plus side with it being an EF lens you can buy an inexpensive teleconverter and double your zoom.All in all a good lens for being part of a package...I have gone to a few events(airshows, sporting events) and this was the main lens I used, I found that the image quality was decent, but when I zoomed into the picture on my computer, the edges of the subject were colored blue, purple, green, or yellow 80% of the time"

"Very easy to use...On sale was nice...I found it to be fun to use, and that's probably the most important thing for me since I have more fun taking pictures than I do working with or even viewing them...So I definitely do not recommend it for landscape shooting inclement weather, but for nice weather (like Los Angeles all year round) or indoor photography, this is a great lens to consider"

""

"Price is a steal...The price is right...I recommend 24mm canon lens for vblog and capture excellent photos in low light, silent motor and use manual mode, I recommend it for either photos or video...Since these cameras have the cropped sensor, the 50mm lens acts as if it was an 80mm lens, which is good for portrait work, but is too long a lens for using indoors like a birthday party, or in a museum"

""

"Very easy to use...Nice in low light...I am new to using this type of camera and thought the lens would really bring objects closer and "zoom" in better than the standard lens that's built /comes with the camera but didn't find this to be the case...It's good for portraiture, landscapes and anything that doesn't require you to be fast, but I wouldn't use it for events, sports or wildlife"

""

"A must have lens...My wife loves it...They do carry the Canon 50mm f/1.8 lens in-store but for quality, I do recommend this lens in particular because it is a f/1.4, which lets in a lot more light and there is a difference between the f/1.8 and f/1.4 quality...The f/1.4 is your best choice - there really is no need to pay the price for the f1/2 unless you are a professional photographer and even then, as a professional photographer and for what I photograph, I still do not need the f1/2"

""

"A must have lens...I love this lens...This lens for the price is amazing, the picture quality is perfect its great for close up shots for portraits and other close shots with slight blurry for objects in the distance...I received the Sony a6000 for Christmas, and I decided to try this lens since I heard prime lenses take better quality pictures than zoom"

""

"Sharp, but no IS...it zoom in great...The lens also zooms in what I consider to be the correct direction, at 70mm the lens is fully extended and at 24mm it is all tucked in...One of the best lens I purchased, and more I use it, the more I like it and great for portraits, weddings, landscape, traveling, and just everything in general"

""

"I love this lens...I LOVE this lens...I've a fair collection of primes to compare it to, some of which are L glass, and I've got some great L zooms as well; yet for portraits, I inevitably turn to this specific lens as it outperforms everything else I own in the successful shooting methodologies I find myself returning to over and over...I was in the market for a 3rd zoom lens and completely against a fixed focal length lens...after using this lens...it has become my primary lens and I can't wait to buy a second fixed length lens"
