Lens is expected quality for the price. However, the auto focus feature on the product I received does not work at all. The lens is properly attached, but does not respond at all.

I bought this “nifty fifty” lens to test drive before investing in a more expensive lens. However, I’m very pleased with the quality of images this lens produces. If you are looking for a lens with a low F stop, this could be it. With F1.8, this lens can produce some fantastic images with an impressive depth of field, and it works especially well in low light. This lens is great for portraits, landscape, close ups (although the minimum focusing distance is a little over 1 foot) and more. Very versatile, inexpensive, and small, so why not try it out?

The lens works great and I can get some really good pictures with it. It does feel cheaper than the canon brand version and some of the parts sound loose on the inside so I try not to shake it too much while moving it. But overall, its exactly what I expected for the price I paid for it. It might not be the best for more experienced users but I am satisfied with my purchase.

I liked that it captured the subject in full frame, however, it was not good with attracting light. So I had to put my ISO very high.

I bought this for a friends teen. She liked the Bokeh effect she saw with mine. She is having fun with it. No complaints.

My Nikon camera came with the typical lense but I was looking to get another one for more professional looking pictures. A friend recommended looking into Adorama.com, so I did some research and this lense had great reviews and it was a very reasonable price. I was a little nervous going with a less known brand but it fits perfect on my camera and I'm loving it so far. I am still getting used to the no zoom, but that's the only draw back. I definitely recommend this lense!

Very nice lens. Smooth focus and rings. Light weight and good build.

Works as expected this is a G format lens so no aperture ring, great quality, sharp all the way down. I use it at f/1.8 all the time, quick focus, easy manual, quiet. My only detraction is I bought this new, and now between the elements micro particles can be seen. Not present in the pictures, just under light, looking into the lens.

I highly recommend this lense. It works perfectly fine, it's very light and well constructed. Also, it gives the same result as any other 50mm would and it costs way less. É

It works perfectly in manual focus with my Nikon D5300, the automatic focus is not great but it can be useful sometimes. I use the lens just for filming and there is a huge difference between kit lens and this 50mm super cheap lens!

I used this lens a couple of times then the aperture stopped working as it was stuck on f1.8. Since it sat in my bag for several months it was passed the warranty period so in to the trash it went.

Couldn't ask for a better budget 50mm. Gonna look at there other lenses as well.

This 50mm lens is well made and performed as well as a more expensive lens does. I will definitely purchase again from Adorama. Thanks for your fast shipping. John

I've been using this for about a week now. First time shooting on a 50 mm, but I'm impressed by the sharpness and bokeh. Good lens on a budget.

If you're looking to get this lens on a budget then this particular brand is good for the price. After reading up on some reviews I was worried the sharpness of the photos would be compromised with the cheaper brand. Its perfectly capable of taking sharp images, but of course the Nikon and Canon brands are just a little bit more crisp. But overall great quality for the price.

An absolutely wonderful lens, especially for those who are just getting into photography and are on a budget. The only slight negative is the build quality definitely feels a little bit on the cheap side but then again it is a cheap lense so that's just what you get.

I have read a number of bad reviews on this lens, and honestly, I'm just not seeing the claimed issues. Yes, it's a plastic bodied lens. Yes, it's cheap. I'm not a skilled enough photographer to be comfortable purchasing the Canon 50mm 1.2L lens or even the Canon 50mm 1.4 lens Bang for the buck, this lens works well for getting my skills up to par as a photographer. I'll invest in better lenses when my skills are improved and use this lens with my crop sensor camera when I do.

Bought as a gift for my son, who is a beginner photographer. He says it is very good and he is happy with it.

So glad to add this Nifty Fifty to my collection. Wonderful, llightweight lens with amazing clarity. This thing is tack sharp. And what an incredible value. Highly recommend this, esp. for beginning photographers who are learning light/aperture.

An amazing lens.
By Benjamin B.
Being new to photography I am truly impressed with what this lens can do, especially in low light. The lens makes it so easy to get good shots because it matches what you see so much better than my other lenses. I experienced no issues with clarity or focus at all. As far as build quality is concerned I see no reason to spend about 3 times as much for Canon's version. Some reviews complain that the lens is made of plastic and the autofocus motor is a little loud, but these don't affect th...

Get this Nifty Fifty
By Rosalyn R.
So glad to add this Nifty Fifty to my collection. Wonderful, llightweight lens with amazing clarity. This thing is tack sharp. And what an incredible value. Highly recommend this, esp. for beginning photographers who are learning light/aperture.
This fantastic prime lens is an excellent addition to your current lens lineup. With a 50mm focal length and F1.8 aperture, it's perfectly suited for portraiture. A 50mm lens also tends to be close to the human eye in terms of magnification factor, making it ideal for casual and street photography. The large max aperture also lends it to lower-light situations better than the standard kit lens, which might max out at F4 or F5.6.
This lens features multi-coated glass elements for proper color rendition and minimal ghosting or flaring in bright settings. It's suited equally well for shooting on full-frame camera bodies or APS-C format cameras, where it actually provides an 80mm equivalent focal length. The aperture diaphram is made up of 7 individual blades, which provides a smooth bokeh when you're working with selective focus. As for the mount itself, its contacts are gold-plated, allowing for a perfect connection and reliable functionality with the camera.
At the entry level of photo gear, this lens will do what you ask of it, delivering sharp images and helping you save both space and money for filling up the rest of your camera bag.
