This was a Christmas gift for my daughter who is in a secondary school taking photography. She asked for this lens specifically and was surprised to actually see it over the holidays! She loves it.

Consistent Output; Durable; Easily Interchangeable; Fast / accurate auto-focus; Lightweight; Rugged; Strong Construction

[...] So this is my first lens that I bought besides the 18-55mm kit lens that came with my Nikon D3100. After many good reviews and recommendations I decided to purchase this lens. I was a little hesistant because my kit lens has the 35mm range also.

Fast / accurate auto-focus; Lightweight; Nice Bokeh; Razor Sharp focus; Rugged; Strong Construction

Pricey but worth it

After reading some reviews on different sites, I decided to purchase this lens. I am so glad that I did. The 1.8 aperture is AMAZING! The focus is decently fast and unlike the kit lenses, you can manually adjust the focus after it has been auto set.

Bought this for my Nikon D5100, auto focus is fast, quiet and accurate. Brilliant in low light due to the f1.8 and very sharp, its sharp wide open and at it's sharpest around f3.5 to f4. Depth of field is fantastic and looks great. Brilliant for portraits especially in doors.

Very light; fast AF; large maximum aperture; great for in doors; great for low light with no flash

If it's Bokeh you're after, take a look at the 50mm instead. Better for portraits on an APS-C/DX body too.

A fine lens; Small, light and FAST

Avoid Always.Deals; They advertise as having the full five year Nikon warranty but ship grey market imports with ZERO warranty

I was planning to buy these beautiful lens for some time and this is the best price deal after a long search. The lens is amazing- very light weight, so crisp and clear even in low light. So impressed and outstanding with the purchase and was quickly delivered. I would definitely recommend this.

this lens has exceeded my expectations. a devout lover of fast primes, i am deeply impressed with the quality of this item and the quality of images it helps me to create with my cameras sensors.

i purchased one of these lenses for my friend, and he can not describe how happy he is with this lens. This lens is the only prime lens engineered for dx format cameras spesifically.

Best For Video; Easy to Use; Fast Shutter Speed; Good in Low Light

By far my most used lens. If I had a complaint it would be that it spoils me to want my other lenses to perform as well which can get expensive. The price is oh so right for a lens of this caliber. It's so easily portable.
