Ah, the “nifty fifty”! This is without question the best-selling lens from Canon, maybe even of all lenses. Its high price to performance ratio is the reason for this. It can be useful on both crop and full frame, and should probably be every beginners first upgrade lens, which I will discuss more in the review. As with all WOFG reviews, I will cover the pros and cons, offer advice for how to use the lens, and give some suggestions at the end.Let’s pro/con this thing!Pros1. Price – Right at the top of the list is the price, typically 125 USD, though sometimes it can be had new for as little as 100. There are few lenses in this price range that can perform at the level this lens can. Most come with large compromises; lack of or poor auto focus, increased aberrations or fringing, soft when wide open, terrible build quality, etc. The Canon F1.8 STM has minimal compromises. This is not to say there aren’t better lenses, just none in this price class. The closest is probably the Yongnuo 50mm F1.8, which is a cheaper lens (about 50 USD). Realistically though, the Canon outperforms it by enough to be worth the additional 50 dollars or so that it cost. AF performance alone makes it a better choice; the Yongnuo is spotty at best for AF.2. Image quality –Sharp lens, even when wide open it stays fairly sharp (wide open meaning when shooting at F1.8). Colors and contrast look good. If you are using an APS-C/crop camera like one of the Rebel series, you will see a clear difference in image quality with this lens over the 18-55mm lens that likely came with your camera. Full frame users, I personally feel like the F1.8 is a more practical option than the 50mm F1.4 USM, which I will breakdown later in the review as to why. The very good IQ combined with the low price is the reason I suggest this lens more than any other lens as the first upgrade to your camera. I cannot stress enough the value this lens has for either crop users or full frame users. Possibly the best value in all of photography.3. STM focus for video – If you are not familiar with the Canon STM focus, it is a silent focusing system made for video. It is also good for still photos as well, but depending on what you are doing it might be a little slow (see cons). In any case, when I put it to the test on an 80D and a 5DmkIV, it was very quiet in video; no sound could be heard as the lens focused. Note – Not all Canon cameras support the silent focus feature of STM. Any model older than the T4i does not support it. Also, the base models do not support it, even the latest versions (T5, T6, T7, or older). The lens can still use AF; it just might not be silent. One other note, STM requires power to be supplied to focus, even in manual. So keep that in mind if you plan to use accessories like extension tubes or other adaptors. Not all of them supply power to the lens.4. Great focal length – On a full frame camera 50mm is what you might call the most “classic” of focal lengths. Very useful for general photography as well as portraits that have a bit of context to them (meaning more of the surroundings are in the photo). It is also the most popular focal length for street photography (though I admit I don’t really get into that). On an APS-C camera it takes on a more specific role. The crop factor narrows this to 80mm equivalent focal length, which is just about perfect for portraits that have that classic “isolated” look. Think in terms of 8×10 portraits on the wall, or even senior portraits. Combined with the F1.8 aperture I would say it is the best choice for portraits on any APS-C camera for shooters on a budget. It will make similar photos on a crop camera as an 85mm will do on a full frame. A note on 85mm lenses – you have probably heard that 85mm is the best portrait lens. This however considers that you are using a full frame camera, where it is one of the most popular choices for portrait work. On a crop camera the 85mm lens is not as ideal for this purpose. One of two things will happen. You will have to frame everything too tightly (mostly headshots and bust ups), or you will have to move further away to correctly frame your subject. The added distance from you to your subject robs the 85mm of all the things that make it special for portraits when used on a crop (background blur). It isn’t just about being able to shoot at 85mm, it’s being able to do it from the distance it takes to frame a classic portrait, while shooting with a wide aperture to gain the background blur that it creates from that distance, while still having enough depth to keep the main subject in sharp focus. Moving further away decreases your compression and also loses detail. For the classic look you want to be close, and the 50mm gives you that on a crop sensor camera so much more than an 85mm will. This is why I recommend the 50mm focal length for portraits if you have a crop sensor/APS-C camera. It is much more about the distance to your subject with portraits, and knowing the length that works best for that based on your sensor size will take you quite far.5. Fast aperture – For those that have only used the lens that came with your camera, this right here is the main reason I think you should get this lens (other than price). The F1.8 aperture is pretty fast for a lens, offering not only a significant increase in light throughput but also will create the coveted bokeh effect for portraits as described previously. If you’ve not experienced what a wide aperture can do, this is one of the least expensive ways to do it, and fortunately it’s also a good one!6. Compatible with all EOS cameras – I am adding this here mostly for people’s info, since I frequently see people asking about “will this fit on my camera?” This lens is EF, so that means that it will work on all of Canon’s EOS cameras. That is the full frame models; 1D, 5D, and 6D. The crop sensor/APS-C models; all the Rebels, the mid-range models from the 10D to the 80D, and the 7D. It is also able to be used on the mirrorless cameras as long as you have the adaptor for EF lenses. It will even work on older film EOS cameras, going back to the very first ones released in 1987!7. Good minimum focus distance – At just over a foot, this lens can be pretty close to a subject and still focus. I find that on crop sensor cameras that makes it pretty good for close up work. Not as good as a true macro or even the EF-S 24mm F2.8 STM, but still pretty good. Add an extension tube and you have a budget macro setup! (I suggest Kenko Extension Tubes)8. Other stuff – 49mm filter thread means cheap filters if you are into that. Not a common size, so it might be better to use a step down ring with a larger filter. Metal lens mount. Full time manual focus override (you have to “wake” the camera by half pressing the shutter button before turning the focus ring). Overall improved over the older model, the EF 50mm F1.8 II (see comparison later). Very lightweight, especially when compared to other fast 50mm primes.Cons. Most of this is for your information and is not worth the removal of a star. I will say why if I remove a star for any reason. Otherwise it is up to the user to know what they are getting and how to use it.1. Not ideal wide open (F1.8) – Even though it is better wide open than the older F1.4 model, it still suffers from a slight loss in clarity when shooting at F1.8. Not a big deal since most shots will need stopped down a little to increase depth of field anyway (meaning shooting at a narrower aperture). I shoot at F2-F2.8 a lot for portraits, and appreciate the increase in sharpness without losing too much exposure or background blur. I think this is more noticeable on a full frame camera than a crop, since it’s around the outer edges where it is the worse (A crop camera doesn’t really see the outer edges of this lens). The center sharpness is still pretty good at F1.8. I didn’t notice any serious chromatic aberration issues either, but then I don’t use the lens in strong backlight scenarios where those problems become the most pronounced. I haven’t heard from others that it is a problem, whereas on the F1.4 model it is. (See comparison for more info)2. A bit soft in the corners – As to be expected on a lens like this, it loses clarity around the outer edges of the frame. This is most noticeable at F1.8, and is more pronounced on a full frame camera than it is on a crop camera. Once you stop down to even F2 you see an improvement, though it really never becomes as sharp on the edges as it is in the center at wider apertures. I don’t see this as a deal breaker though. This would be the biggest difference in image quality when comparing it to lenses like the EF 50mm F1.2, or the Sigma 50mm F1.4, both lenses known for their high level of optical performance. But those lenses are significantly more expensive. The Sigma is 950 USD, and the Canon is 1400! You get the “nifty 50” because the compromises vs price are just worth it, at least until you know if you want to invest more into a higher quality lens.3. Focus by Wire – Since this is an STM lens, there is no mechanical connection to the focusing gears. What this means is that as you turn the focus ring, instead of that tuning the focus, the camera is sent an electronic signal to tune it instead; it’s not as precise as mechanical focus. I don’t use manual focus on this lens so for me it’s not that big a deal. If you do a lot of manual focus, you might prefer the F1.4 model. Again, focus by wire doesn’t bother me, but I do not know even one photographer that prefers it over mechanical.4. No IS – Does not feature image stabilization. This is really only an issue when you want to shoot at shutter speeds slower than 1/50 sec (1/80 on crop). Since this lens has such a fast aperture there are not a lot of times that is going to be an issue. It makes it less ideal for vlogging though, but the focal length already makes it not ideal for that (vlogging is done from wider angles than this). For me this really didn’t matter since there was no scenario where I would be using this lens that having IS would be a benefit. But if someone wants a 50mm lens with IS, then this isn’t it. Canon doesn’t make one, and I don’t know of any third party 50mm lenses that have it either. Even so, adding IS tends to cause a slight loss in overall sharpness due to the floating element that performs the stabilizing, a definite increase in price, and probably a loss in overall max aperture. So I don’t think I would even want it on a lens like this, since the price, fast aperture, and IQ are the main reasons I am suggesting it.5. Other stuff – No hood is included; I suggest Promaster for hoods (cheaper than Canon and work just as well). For the price of the lens I really didn’t expect a hood. Hood is reversible but covers the entire outside of the lens, making it a bit larger in diameter. Mostly plastic design with a metal mount. Not fragile by any means, the casing still feels solid. No weather or dust sealing. STM focus isn’t as quick as USM, so it’s not really ideal for sports, but not impossible either (shoot in continuous focus mode for sports).I really don’t have anything negative to say about this lens that isn’t also washed by its price. Just a great value for the performance you get from it.ConclusionsWhat a great little lens! It’s so good no matter what kind of Canon you have. I have used it on anything from the entry level SL2 to the professional 5DmkIV. Always gives me good images. Sometimes I switch between the Canon F1.8 and the Sigma 50mm F1.4, and there are times when I am going through the photos and I have to check which lens took what shot. It compares pretty well. In the end the Sigma outperforms it in overall image quality, but as I said before that lens is very expensive. I am a pretty serious shooter these days, and sometimes I even get paid for my work. So I can justify the more expensive Sigma lens. But I cut my teeth on the Canon F1.8 to get to that point. If you are someone that is looking to get more serious, or even just wants to improve over the quality of your kit lens, the 50mm F1.8 is probably the best way to go without having to break your budget. Anyone could afford it, and you will see an immediate improvement in image quality. Just know how to use it to its best purpose on your camera as described earlier in the review. I see no reason someone couldn’t use this lens to eventually move into higher levels of shooting, or just keep using it if it does all you need.Compared to the Canon EF 50mm F1.8 II – You may have seen this lens around for about the same price as the STM model. I really don’t suggest this lens. It’s the previous version of the “nifty 50” and is outclassed by the STM model in all ways. If you already have it then it probably works well enough. For about the same price I would take the STM model every time. I won’t even bother with a breakdown since the older model has no advantage over the new one; the STM model is the clear choice. Even if you can get the F1.8 II cheaper, the STM model is so inexpensive that I can’t see it being worth saving a few bucks. This is also why I don’t recommend the Yongnuo 50mm F1.8. You can get it as cheap as 45 USD, but you really get what you pay for. If it’s all you can afford then I would think you can make it work, but 100 USD probably isn’t out of reach for anyone that has already spent 400 or more dollars on a camera.Compared to the Canon EF 50mm F1.4 – This is the real battle here. The F1.4 model is a lens people also like, since it is fairly inexpensive for its class (about 300 USD). Side by side, it does have the advantage of the F1.4 aperture, which is 2/3rds stops more than the F1.8 (theoretically 66% more light, though reality is probably more like 33%). What this does is lets you shoot at faster shutter speeds or lower ISO, and also gives a shallower depth of field (DOF), but there are some compromises here. For one, the F1.4 has known soft focus and chromatic aberrations when shot wide open. To avoid these issues, you have to stop down to about F2-F2.8. So really, you don’t get more from the F1.4, since the F1.8 STM is still fairly sharp wide open and without aberrations, and is technically sharper at F2-F2.8 than the F1.4 lens (in testing that is, in the real world there is no obvious difference). For the difference in price, I just don’t see the “advantage” of F1.4 being enough to be worth almost 200 USD in additional cost. However, some people actually like the soft focus look of the F1.4 model, which is something you can’t get from the F1.8 STM without using some kind of software, filter, or other method (I’ve seen chapstick used on a UV filter to do this, LOL). So if you want that, then the 50m F1.4 isn’t a bad choice and is also fairly inexpensive. If you are just looking to add a better lens to your kit for a low cost, then there is no practical advantage the F1.4 has over the F1.8 for the money. I don’t think there is any situation where the additional light or shallow DOF will make a mind blowing difference, and for good quality images you will be shooting at about the same settings anyway. The F1.4 model is just a really old lens (released in 1993), and has never been updated. The F1.8 is much newer and has more recent engineering and lens coatings that make the 50mm F1.4 almost obsolete. I can’t think of one time that I suggested it over the STM model. I do like it more than the 50mm F1.8 II model. From a practical point of view, the EF 50mm F1.8 STM is Canon’s best budget 50mm lens. If you already have the 50mm F1.4 then just keep using it, it is also a good lens as long as you know how to make it work. If you don’t have either, save some money and get the F1.8 STM model instead and put the money into another lens!Other Suggestions – It wouldn’t be a WOFG review without suggestions! I’m going to do this a little differently since really there is no other lens I suggest for a 50mm that is in this price class, for crop or full frame. Instead, I am going to list my “4 lenses to buy first for Canon APS-C/crop cameras”, to help people acquire a more diverse kit of lenses. The list is only good for crop users though, as the 50mm F1.8 is the only one that can mount to a full frame. I really don’t have such a list for full frame users, but I do have a couple suggestions for other lenses that might be useful to full frame shooters on a budget.For crop users – I’m just going to post the whole list, including the 50mm, and the reasons I suggest each lens.1. EF 50mm F1.8 STM – The lens under review. Great for portraits on a crop camera. No other lens with this quality, speed, or sharpness is available at this price. The review should be pretty clear as to why.2. EF-S 55-250mm F4-5.6 IS STM – Best telephoto for less than a grand. Beats the 75-300mm in all categories except overall reach. Can be bundled with new cameras for about 200 USD, or found used/refurbished/white box “bulk packaging” for about 150.3. EF-S 10-18mm F4.5-5.6 IS STM – For landscapes, architecture, large equipment, or whatever needs a wide angle. Good for video too, especially vlogging, not only thanks to the wide angle but also the IS (one of the only wide lenses Canon makes with that feature).4. EF-S 24mm F2.8 STM – Adds F2.8 to your shooting for a low price (130-150 USD). This makes it possible to shoot at faster shutter speeds than the kit lens can, making it better for moving subjects. Nice that it has a wider angle than the 50mm F1.8, so it’s more versatile for framing.Each of these lenses adds something different to your kit, is highly rated, and is affordable (under 300 per lens). If you are a beginner and looking to expand what you can do, this setup adds a lot of diversity to your kit. Always invest in lenses before getting a new camera! If interested in more info on these lenses, just go to my profile and find my reviews of them. Simply click on my name and then scroll until you find the review.For Full Frame1. EF 40mm F2.8 STM – Not as fast as the 50mm, but a little bit wider angle, and a lot more compact. Easy to shove into a pocket or purse when you are out and about. Just a nice lens, for about 150-180 USD.2. EF 24-105mm F4L IS II USM – This is actually a pretty expensive lens, but for those that want one lens that can do the work of a couple lenses this is it. At 105mm you can get pretty good compression, making up for the lack of a wider aperture, so in some ways it can take the place of a portrait lens if you just want to shoot your kids or other family members. Its 24mm wide angle makes it great for most general shooting. It’s basically the kit lens for full frame Canon’s. There are a couple versions, the latest is the best (IS II), but the older model is cheaper and isn’t too bad. Sigma makes one that is nice and is much sharper than the Canon models, but has sketchy AF. Probably fine for most users.I really only list these since I know they are good lenses that people like to use. I still suggest the 50mm F1.8 to all full frame users. I keep mine in spite of having much more expensive lenses, so that I can use it at times that I might be afraid to risk my Sigma or my 24-70mm lens, since I could pretty much throw away my 50mm F1.8 and get a new one. But these other lenses are pretty useful too, and I think someone that can’t really afford a lot of lenses can benefit from them.That is all I got, all that is left is to check out the images.

this lens fit perfectly with my Canon Rebel T7. I really wanted a 50mm to replace the kit lens, this one offers a better f-stop range. I can get amazing bokeh with this lens. it just clicks right on super easy. its good quality and can get sharp images along with shooting in lower light situations. really great for portrait or product photography. this isn’t a zoom lens so if you are working indoors make sure you have plenty of space for distance between you and the subject. overall its a good product. Its perfect at its job so if you’re looking for a lens with a wide range of capability this isn’t it.

The Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM is a fantastic entry-level lens, especially if you’re new to Canon photography. The image quality is impressive for the price, with sharp focus and nice background blur thanks to the f/1.8 aperture. The STM motor makes autofocus smooth and quiet, which is great for both photography and video recording.It’s lightweight and compact, so it’s easy to carry around for everyday shooting. While it’s not a professional-grade build, the performance more than makes up for it, making it a solid investment for beginners who want to experiment with portrait and low-light photography without breaking the bank.

The lens is incredible! I was very dissatisfied with the packaging that it arrived in. I’m honestly very shocked that there was no damage to the lens. The lens has the new markings of a new Canon 50 – look it up, it isn’t damage! I’ve taken the lens out for one short spin and one large spin, – a complete wedding day. I cannot believe how sharp this is. It’s every bit as good as people say it is. It’s very lightweight, and it’s so worth the cost. I can’t wait to take it out again and again and again.

I have been curious about the “nifty fifty” for some time. I love how this lense focuses on exactly what I want to capture while leaving the background fuzzy and soft. I have taken several great family photos and two headshots with this lense. My only complaint is that I regret not investing in this lense sooner.

Super sharp, lightweight, and perfect for portraits. Great bokeh and unbeatable quality for the price. A must-have addition to any Canon kit.

OK value . . . average sharpness, lite & compact . . . get what you paid-for?? Not a Cannon “star” lens

Great quality Canon lens! It delivers sharp, clear images with beautiful depth and color. Fast focus and smooth performance — perfect for both photography and video. Highly recommended for anyone using a Canon camera????

Along with me getting my first camera (a Canon EOS r50), this is my first lens and it does amazing! I definitely plan on getting a 35mm lens at some point, but this one is amazing for a beginner. I’m still fiddling around with my manual settings because I don’t want to always rely on auto settings on my camera, but this lense does amazing with helping focus on subjects. (Feat. My cat. Don’t mind the scratch on her nose that’s healing up, she is not the brightest in her moments of zoomies.)

The perfect street lens on a full frame camera. 50mm gets you closer, but not too close to subjects when taking candid pictures on the street. Also a good in between lens on a crop sensor camera. At 80mm equivalent, you can get closer to across the street shots. For indoor events at f/1.8 the 50mm gets you decent light. It does have a bit of correction needed for the corners, as it’s not really sharp in the corners, but for most shooting it’ll work just fine. I gave it 5 stars for all over use and variety of subject matter and ease of use.

Awesome product and love it. wonderful and reliable for its price.

Nifty 50. Speaks for itself. If you want it. Buy it.

It’s a cheapie lens, so I lowered my expectations. Nevertheless, I’ve been quite impressed. The images have been wonderful. I was especially excited to try my hand at images of the Aurora and Comet ATLAS A3, using a full-frame Canon R6. The results were stunning for lower-noise images in those low-light situations. However, the trade-off, when wide open at F1.8, is focus softening, coma, and ugly astigmatism toward the corners. (These lens aberrations cause wing-shaped light-flaring around stars near the image corners). Canon’s exceedingly expensive RF F1.4L lenses are better in this regard, but they come with other, equally disappointing compromises and insane prices.

Really gave new clarity to my photos. I wish I’d had this before but am happy I finally bought it. Highly recommend.

This lens stays on my camera → I guess you can say my camera has “resting nifty fifty face”!! If something happens in an instant, it will be shot with the 50mm first ( even at night when running & gunning, although specific astrophotography (how fun is this stuff?!) will call for other options.The 50 isn’t a “necessary evil” – it’s a optional privilege! I wish every company sold one of their best entry-level products that often outshines items (lenses) of much higher prices → wouldn’t that be amazing?!

The K&F Concept Wide-Angle Lens is a solid upgrade for the DJI Pocket 3. It gives a noticeably wider field of view, which is great for vlogging or capturing more of the scene. What really impressed me is that it fits perfectly in the OEM case even while attached to the camera, so no need to remove it every time you pack it away.Convenient, compact, and performs well — highly recommended for Pocket 3 users.

Great product

Sure makes a difference how you record, makes the lighting perfect now I’ll use it on all my videos, only thing, if yiu have big fingers it’s hard to switch, but very small problem

I love how this little DJI Osmo pocket three lens makes everything so wide I like using this lens when blogging. it gets everything in the frame.

It does its job to get that wider field of view, image quality does suffer a bit, however, it can be sharpened in post. Easy to pop on and off, magnetic is fairly strong. Relatively durable, stores well in the protective osmo case, too large for after market cases. Overall for the price it’s not bad as it has come in handy a few time. I prefer the anamorphic wide angle over this one, it is a little sharper and you get some really cool looks from it.

Compré hace poco este juego de filtros para mí OP3, mis apreciaciones en las pruebas que he hecho, es que es muy bajo el factor de domina tes en cada uno de estos filtros, de igual manera al ser filtros fijos, no generan viñeteos, ni dominantes de color desiguales en los extremos, una gran ventaja si vas a usarlos continuamente. Si eres un usuario que loco o anda sabes de cómo usar estos filtros, si mucho ve por un NDV, en mi concepto y en mi experiencia, prefiero los fijos por calidad, los variables son útiles pero en grabaciones donde no tengas que exigirle muchos tu camara, quizás el único pero con el que me siento incómodo, es el ponerlos y quitarlos del lente de la cámara, si tienes manos grandes y torpes ten cuidado de no dejarlos caer cada que los vayas a usar.

Works exactly as it should. I lost my original wide angle lense and this one fits right in. I use it ALL THE TIME.

Lost my original while on vacation on a cruise

Do you find yourself wanting to capture wider, fuller landscapes or take perfect shots for social media posts at not quite the right size? There’s no need to look any further at expensive wide angle lenses to better your casual shots; this filter thread mounted lens has you covered. It’s quick to mount/dismount, maintains original sharpness/definition, and has compatibility across brands and generations. You can mount this on a filter from your collection or throw a new 82 on the front of it if you’d like to expand your gear supply. This piece has worked wonders going all the way from a mirrorless Sony A7III down to an old 35mm Canon AE-1. There’s no noticeable increase in any autofocus noise level, and film shots especially love this fun add-on by capturing more details in each exposure.I would definitely recommend this product to a friend if they needed an easy, economical solution to the problem of expensive lenses.Here’s an example of a high exposure B&W shot taken with the lens added to a 50mm Sony E-Mount; my favorite and best model was staying classy with her feathered ears being prettier than many people’s own hair.

Love this lens, perfect fit and great pictures

Hello there! I am fairly new to photography and just recently purchased my first “real” camera (Not a smartphone and over $100 ????).This review Is for the 49mm Macro/Super Macro Lens, mounted and used on a Canon EOS R50 with RF S18-45mm f4.5-6.3 IS STM.I decided to purchase this product while searching for various lenses for my camera. Since I am new to the photography game, I wanted to try out and add various lenses to my kit. Being that the price point for this lens was far lower than other lenses and seemed to have decent reviews, I figured I would give it a try.The product arrived quickly with Prime and I was extremely excited to test it out. It was packaged nicely and professionally; (outer product box, inner, more protective inner box, leather type (not sure if actual leather) pouch with draw strings, and lastly a disposable plastic bag.Unfortunately, that is when I experienced my issue. The lens would not fit onto my preexisting 49mm thread, 18-45mm lens. Being as this is my first lens purchase for the camera, I was both concerned and slightly discouraged. I looked at my order history and realized this product did not state anything regarding the compatibility with the EOS R series cameras, but rather the EOS M series. I researched online thoroughly and concluded that regardless of if my camera is an R or M series or if the lens is an EF or RF, 49mm should still should be compatible.I then looked through my recent orders and Amazon and found the product description, verified I ordered the correct lens thread size (49mm) in which case I did.From there I grabbed a ruler and took a measurement of the thread size of the mounting portion of the lens, I found the size to be 55mm rather than 49mm. Although I ordered the 49mm, I received the 55mm, even in a 49mm box.I started the replacement process on Amazon, chose to “Replace with the same item” in hopes that it was just a discrepancy when the product was boxed. I received the new lens a few days later and could immediately see the difference in the mounting thread sizes.It mounted right up to my existing 49mm lens with no issues.As for using the lens, it does have a bit of weight to it, I’m sure probably not as much as other lenses, which I have not had the opportunity to test, so I cannot definitively say it is heavy or light in comparison.It definitely does seem to give a wider field of view which will be great for various types of photos. Both auto and manual focus still seem to work without any issues. Clear view, no issues so far with ISO or high shutter speeds. However, there are two issues I have noticed so far with the lens;1: When utilizing the cameras integrated flash, the size and length of the lens definitely casts a shadow at the bottom of the shots. An external flash would probably correct this depending on how high the flash sits.2: The corners of the lens show on the image unless I zoom to right around 22mm. Although this could be a deal breaker for some, I actually like the effect it gives the image. This also will most likely be dependent on the lens type/focal length used.One more thing to note although it hasn’t seemed to be negative for my shooting so far, the less zoom I have, the more fisheye the image seems.Pros:*Great packaging*Well built*Very sturdy*Enhanced field of view*No issues with focusing*No issues with ISO*No issues with high shutter speedsCons:*Lens corners visible in images unless zoomed to approximately 22mm

Llegó todo bien, la medida correcta. Y funciona bastante bien, me gusta la amplitud extra que da a mi lente.

Good quality. Did not fit our existing camera.

HIGHLY recommend! There, I said it again.I purchased a 43mm-52mm Metal Step Up Ring to attach this lens to an old Canon VIXIA R80 for my wide-angle shots. After reading complaints on all of the built-for-VIXIA (43mm) wide-angle lenses showing the (circular) outer rim, I wanted to make sure and buy a larger lens. This works perfectly!I’ve attached stills from two videos: one with, and one without this lens. And sorry about my filthy picture window; it’s still too cold to step out and wash it! LOLThe first thing to note:It’s heavy. And I mean that in a GOOD way! It’s absolutely solid! Metal housing, quality glass on both the macro and wide-angle lenses, and a secure fit where they are threaded to each other, to the step-up ring, and to the camera.The second thing:It comes with little extras that I had not been expecting: A rubber lens cover that press-fits securely to the front of the lens, and a vegan-leather (PU) carry bag, both of which I will be using even though I didn’t know I needed them. The front of this lens is a good 85mm across, which would be the main reason why this baby is so heavy!The third thing:It is definitely fish-eyed. I left in part of the window frame in the wide shot (top right), so you could see the amount of curvature. Remember that I’m shooting through a sized-up 43mm fitting, so this is really just the center of the 52mm Altura lens.And once again, I HIGHLY recommend!

This lens is the standard for quality, affordability and your intro to professional lenses. It is a well rounded lens that gets a lot of the job done with out needing to change lenses. The color is stunning and at 1.8 you get incredible sharpness and clarity for the picture.The body is a little “too plastic” for what I would expect from Sony but it is their intro to FE and professional lenses. But the value to quality ratio is much higher than anticipated. I use the Sony A7iv and definitely see this lens being my work horse

Great quality

Just like the canon 50mm, this is an excellent no brainer for an added lens.Super sharp, fast focus.Get it!

The Sony FE 50mm is a must-have in my kit as a 12-year photographer. It’s that reliable old friend: compact, lightweight, and always ready to back you up when the light’s failing. The f/1.8 aperture shines in low light, and its buttery-smooth bokeh turns everyday portraits into something almost magical. It’s sharp even wide open, though the autofocus could be faster in demanding moments. Still, this lens has bailed me out countless times—from capturing the quiet soul of a portrait to chasing fleeting expressions on the street.

Nice lens for the great price!

The Sony 50mm f/1.8 is a solid little lens that punches above its weight — especially considering the price point. It’s lightweight, compact, and ideal for everyday shooting. The f/1.8 aperture gives beautiful bokeh, making it a great option for portraits, street photography, and low-light situations.Image quality is sharp in the center, and colors come out vibrant. The autofocus is decent — not the fastest in Sony’s lineup, but perfectly usable for most scenarios, especially on newer camera bodies. Build quality feels a bit plasticky, but that’s expected at this price and helps keep the lens light. Great performance.Overall, if you’re looking for an affordable prime lens with great image quality.

Tuve problemas con el envío pero al final llegó, el mejor lente que tengo

Very happy with this lens. It’s a nice bang for your buck middle ground. I dont know why people are complaining about the auto focus. I was worried from the other complaints but my auto focus speed GOT FASTER when i got this lens. I mostly shoot in the dark and it’s pretty fast in my opinion. So either my last one was horrible or this one isn’t that bad at all. You can hear the lens moving when you’re in a quiet area but i’ve never heard the sound being picked up in my video recordings.

Great lens. Fits my Nikon D5300 easily. No automation. It requires me to shoot manually, which has really improved my photos.

There are some back and forth reviews on this product so I want to share my experience and thoughts. I was a little hesitant to buy this due to some of the reviews but I’m sure glad I followed through and got it. The biggest thing for me is the price, this lens on cannons sight is over $1,000, and I was really wanting a prime lens that had a low stop. Some of what I saw on the reviews was the back cap was glued on and could not be removed and another common one I was seeing was a glue residence all over the external body of the lens, but I found neither one of these issues and so far I’m really happy with it so on the side don’t be afraid to take a chance on those lines especially if you’re wanting budget friendly option

This is a good lens in the image. Quality is fantastic. The build will maybe it could use some work because mine was stuck and needed Force to get it to adjust at first. Now is very smooth and works good but it snapped inside when I first tried freeing it from it s stuck position when I first got it. It’s easy to use if you know how to use a manual focus lens. It fits any EF Mount. The pictures are clear.I spoke with the manufacturer about this and they gave me a discount because of that problem with that lens. So it’s all good.

Jokingly bad lens. Even at infinity, when trying to focus on stars at anything other than f22, the image comes out unusably blurry. Unironically the most abysmal lens I’ve had to displeasure of wasting 80 dollars on. It’ll focus on stars just fine at f22, but at that point it’s beyond useless. Also, it’s smaller in diameter than the EF mount so you end up with light leak due to the gap between the lens and body. The focus ring is stiff, the aperture ring feels cheap and plasticy, it’s all around just not a good lens. Not sure if I just got a dud, guess we’ll see when my replacement arrives. As of right now, however, I can NOT recommend this lens to ANYONE who isn’t trying to take portraits of people standing exactly ~4-5ft away. FWIW, if nothing else, this lens is mostly metal and feels substantial, just a shame it doesn’t perform to that level (or at all really).

Works well, clear & fits Canon Rebel T7 perfectly

Generally, my initial impressions of this lens was reasonably favorable, considering the very low price. Most everything is made of metal, including the nice lens hood.One thing I immediately noticed is there is some wiggle when the lens is attached to my Canon. The lens itself is very secure, so that is not an issue. But the slot in the lens that captures the locking pin on the camera is a bit too large. This wiggle appears to have only one negative effect, which is during focusing. This lens is very sensitive on focus distance, so when you change focus the entire lens will rotate a slight amount until the focus ring starts working. With most lenses, this really would not be much of an issue, but due to the small depth of field with this lens, small focus adjustments are common. So, this slight movement before a change in focus is a little irritating. I am not sure if it causes a light leak as well.There is another slight mis-description in the Amazon listing, which seems to suggest a filter thread of 72mm. That is referring to the thread used by the hood, which fits on the outside of the lens, not the inside. The front of the lens has both internal and external threads. The external thread is 72mm and the internal filter thread diameter is 55mm. I did attach an older 55mm filter I had laying around and it allowed me to attach the larger 72mm hood over it at the same time, which is handy. I’m not sure all 55mm filters will work. If they are too large of a shoulder, it might interfere with the hood.Update: I have a second problem. The 3 screws on the back of the lens are loose (see picture), which also causes some of the jiggling of the lens as these screws hold the Canon EOS interface mount to the body of the lens. When I tighten these screws to remove the slack, it makes it almost impossible to turn the f-stop ring. If I left these screws untightened, I think they would eventually loosen completely and fall out. If I were unlucky, it might happen when I was removing the lens, and a small screw could fall into the body of the camera. I contacted Lightdow about both of these problems, including sending pictures, and the only response I got was this was something that was within normal engineering tolerances. I could live with the slot problem, but not the 3 loose screws and unusable f-stop ring.Second Update: I put the lens on a bench and loosened the screws on the mount and then gently tightened them to ensure the mount was sitting evenly on the lens. After that, I rotated the f-stop ring about 50 times. It eventually started to move more freely. After that, I finished tightening the screws and did about 50 more rotations of the f-stop ring. It can now by rotated freely. I am guessing there was some kind of edge or loose piece of plastic flashing of the f-stop ring. I note that the detents on the f-stop ring are sloppy. I still have the problem of the lens not having a tight fit on the camera which is not fixable. You can tell the lens will not be tight on the camera because the plastic rear lens cap fits loosely. On all my other Canon and Canon-compatible lenses, the rear lens cap has a close fit and is not loose. I have had additional communications with Lightdow, so they are at least responsive. It seems they have some basic QC or design issues on the mechanical side of things.Final Update: Lightdow was pretty good about responding to my issues. They offered a partial refund, which I accepted. As a result, I decided to keep the lens as I kind of liked the optics. I think with a little bit of QC and re-engineering, they could easily fix these problems.P.S. Most users probably realize this, but the 85mm focal length is with respect to a full-frame sensor. On a cropped sensor camera that uses a APS-C sensor, such as a Canon Rebel camera, this lens behaves more like a 135mm lens. To get the same field of view that you would expect with a 85mm portrait lens on a full-frame camera, you have to move farther away from the subject. This also affects depth of field (it increases depth of field, which means less Bokeh with cropped sensor camera compared to a full-frame sensor).

I bought this about a month ago and so far its been a good buy for the price. I am still a beginner with it but I think it works well

Very few products where I feel like i get my money’s worth anymore but this is one of them, really nice! As you see in the picture I’m not the best photographer but this takes some great pics.

Fantastic lens! The 17-70mm range is so versatile, making it perfect for everything from landscapes to portraits. The constant f/2.8 aperture delivers great low-light performance and beautiful background blur. The image stabilization works really well, and the lens feels solid without being too heavy. Sharp images, fast autofocus, and excellent value compared to other options—highly recommend for anyone looking to upgrade their kit lens.

This Tamron 17-70mm f/2.8 Di III-A VC RXD lens is a fantastic lens from a performance standpoint. But size-wise it’s a bit of a beast, feeling like it’s probably double the size, length and girth of the Sony SEL1670Z 16-70mm F4 lens it is likely to replace for use on my Sony a6400 camera. Compared to the very diminutive Sony E PZ 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS kit lens it’s like an oil tanker next to a jet ski. Fit, finish and focus are all first rate. The edge to edge sharpness is exemplary for a wide to short tele lens, nothing less than very good wide open and very impressive stopped down even one. The f/2.8 speed is of course very useful and in the you get what you pay for department the lens has Sony compatible stabilization. So all in all this is a winner. But it does make a bit of a mockery of the idea of using camera bodies that are prized for their small and very compact dimensions. It’s a bit like attaching a cannon to matchbox. In any case, well worth the price from an image quality standpoint.

There are many well done professional reviews of this lens on YouTube and elsewhere- this is just from an amateur user’s perspective. I got an a6000 a couple of years ago. It’s the first camera I’ve used in manual or different priority modes. I’ve learned all of what I know about photography with this camera and am pretty competent with it at this point. Early on I realized the image quality from the kit lens wasn’t great and I started searching for lens upgrades. First purchase was the Sony 50 f1.8 and it’s noticeably much better in terms of sharpness and bokeh. It was a learning process though, and it was through experience with the 50 1.8 that I came to understand the crop factor of apsc format and that the 50 was more like a 75mm equivalent. Too tight for anything indoors where I was doing a lot of family (mostly little kid) photography. After some more research I found the “Sigma trio” and over the course of a year a year I picked up the 30 1.4 and the 16 1.4. I pretty much used the 30 for everything outside- hiking, sight seeing etc and the 16 for all the birthday parties and kid stuff inside. I also splurged and got the 70-350 Sony telephoto for birds and wildlife in general. Also got the Rokinon 12mm. With this collection of some of the better Sony apsc lenses I was pretty well covered for all situations I encountered and was perfectly satisfied. Until I kept reading more about the the Sony 16-55. It seemed to cover the range of several of my lenses which I often switched between and had equivalent optical performance. But it is so expensive.. so I held off. And fortunately this Tamron came out. It covers a larger range and was well reviewed early on. For $500 less than the Sony I cashed in all the gift cards and credits I had and picked it up. I’ve found it to be a very convenient and good quality all purpose lens for 60-80% of the pictures I take. It will definitely be the go to for hiking and casual outdoor and sightseeing sort of stuff. It’s sharp, focuses really well, and is easy to use well. I have noticed the loss of f stops from the Sigmas (1.4 vs 2.8) for low light and less bokeh, but it’s really good overall and no regrets about the purchase. There are times when I still use the Sigmas and I’ll hang on to them but I’ll probably part with the Sony 50 at some point. I haven’t touched it in a couple months. Overall happy with the lens and would recommend to anyone with similar usage as me- casual family shooter, some outdoor stuff, just a good quality general use lens that produces really good results. And this in on an a6000- I understand the autofocus is better on the newer a6xxx bodies and I’m excited to see the difference when I eventually get one. (This photo hobby, as I’m sure everyone reading these reviews knows, can be a slippery financial slope, but no buyers remorse with this lens).

Excellent lens. Sharp pictures. Worth the price ????

This is my go to camera lens.It is a bit on the heavier side, but definitely not heavier than the super telescope lens lol .The lens quality is really nice, at 50mm it is sharper than my cheaper 50mm prime lens. I also love how fast it is with the low f stop.Honestly, I’m not used to spending so much money on an lens, even though I know the lens is very important to the image quality, but seeing that it basically replaces all 3 lens that I had previously owned, at a very low fixed f stop, the versatility was almost endless!The image stabilization is also great! since my camera doesn’t have built in image stabilization, I find it very helpful and makes it just more functional.

Great lens, nice and sharp, not heavy and build pretty tough considering the price. Smooth turns on the rings – it doesn’t have the same weight and build of some of the older Canon or Nikon glass – but that doesn’t show up on the images it produces.

Sony a6400It erased all the noise my lens kit has.The quality is beyond amazing! I have also the 70-300m full frame lens and this is much sharper, maybe it’s because the stabilization.The videos are more stable than lens kit. Not so much but better

Great lens has a bit of weight but not that much.

The Sigma 56mm f/1.4 lens for Sony E-Mount has quickly become one of my favorite lenses for portrait photography. Its performance, combined with its compact size, makes it a fantastic choice for anyone looking for a high-quality prime lens.Here’s what I love about it:Incredibly Sharp: The image quality is superb! It delivers razor-sharp focus with beautiful bokeh, especially wide open at f/1.4. Perfect for portraits or low-light shooting.Compact & Lightweight: Despite its high performance, it’s very compact and lightweight, making it easy to carry around for all-day shoots.Fast and Quiet Autofocus: The autofocus is fast, accurate, and quiet—ideal for both photography and video work. I’ve had no issues with focus hunting, even in challenging lighting.Affordable for the Quality: For the price, the Sigma 56mm offers incredible value. It rivals much more expensive lenses in terms of quality, and it’s a must-have for any Sony shooter looking for a versatile prime lens.Solid Build: The lens feels durable and well-built without being bulky. It’s also well-balanced on my Sony mirrorless camera, making it a joy to use.Overall, if you’re looking for a prime lens that delivers sharp images, smooth bokeh, and excellent performance at a reasonable price, the Sigma 56mm f/1.4 is a top pick. Highly recommend it for portrait photographers and everyday use!

this lens is superior. I do food videography, but this lens is amazing for shooting people or anything really this is a versatile lens and was 100% worth the price. The look isn’t too bulky so the size is perfect, sharpness is great. Would recommend to anyone trying to get into videography or photography.

Excellent lens always on a Sony A6600 kept under my driver seat. Small size. Nice 27-75 mm on an APS-C camera. Very crisp.

Versatile, light and decent construction for its price. Easy to use, good value, and almost all you need if you are a starting aps-c sony shooter. Great lens to learn from and also use for a life time.

I think this lens fits a lot of different needs:1 – starting out and not sure what lenses to go with2 – portability, to avoid carrying multiple lenses3 – those who are budget consious but also looking for qualityI have other Sigma lenses, including a 16mm. I needed a sharp, zoom lens to accommodate various closeups while using a green screen. This lens fit my needs perfectly and was much sharper and had less chromatic abberations going on than a cheaper lens from a different brand (which I ended up returning).

This has become my primary walking around lens on an a6700. The pictures are sharp, even in low light. The f stop stays where it’s set across all focal lengths, just as advertised. 2.8 is enough to get a nice, shallow depth of field when you want it. The focus motor is extremely quiet and is not heard on any videos I’ve taken.Overall, a superb lens and good value compared to the Sony equivalent.

Remember the Wow?OM Systems started the promotion of their new OM 1 camera touting it as a WOW equipment piece. Many in the YouTube and camera review world doubted this decree. Many found it hard to believe that much improvement could be attained despite a revamped sensor, a much-tightened menu system, and other advances.I am wondering if when testing their new camera maybe, JUST MAYBE, OM Systems viewed testing results thru the rose-colored lens of the Sigma 56mm 1.4 lens. Of course, not really rose-colored, but WOW. 2X WOW.I purchased the Sigma 56mm 1.4 for my OM 1 and I wasn’t ready for a number of good points.The lens is—at once—small, light, and VERY QUICK to acquire accurate focus. ,Unboxing—the lens began my OMG day. The lens is much more diminutive than you may think. And while being solid with great glass, somehow it’s as light as its size promises.Imaging—absolutely fabulous photos! Good contrast and true colors. Even better than the Olympus 40-150mm 2.8. More natural yet still vibrant. I am past surprised, I am at WOW.Bokeh—even before you get to F1.4 you have smooth and very noticeable bokeh. Caught me off guard. Open to 1.4 and “oh! SOB! I’ve got something here.”Now there’s only one more on the TO DO list: OM Systems needs to collaborate with Sigma and form a serious partnership like Sony did with Zeiss. Come on Sigma, OM Systems let’s form a trust! Everybody will be happy $$$ !!

The Sigma 18-50mm zoom lens is one of the most versatile, sharpest and affordable APSC lens you can buy. It is extremely light, suitable for gimbal video work and run and gun photography. The 18-50mm focal length is approximately a 27mm-75mm full-frame equivalent. This is a good range for architecture and landscape photography as well as portraits. While the lens doesn’t have lens stabilization, if you have a camera with built-in IBIS like the A6600, A6700, FX30 you will be fine. The F2.8 aperture also gives you decent subject separation and good low light performance. I have the Sigma Trio prime lens but wanted a “one and done” lens that I can leave on my camera when traveling and get all of the different focal lengths.

While I love primes, you can’t beat the flexibility of a zoom lens for general photography. I wanted a lens that was tack sharp and had a constant aperture through the zoom range. The Sony lens in this range are a lot more expensive, but I’ve had good luck with Sigma lenses, so I chose the cheaper option.The first thing you notice about the Sigma is that the zoom ring rotates counterclockwise to zoom in, whereas most other brands rotate clockwise to zoom. It’s like driving in England or Japan compared to the US or Europe. You can adjust except when you have to make a really quick decision, and you turn the wrong way. The other thing you notice is that it is a hefty lens that feels very solid. I shot it for three hours at a race, and it never felt like it was too heavy.I did a “scientific” test comparing the Sigma with other lenses in my kit bag at matching focal lengths and at f/2.8 or as close as I could get. I shot a book cover using a tripod and a remote trigger. I lined things up by eye, so the book was not going to be perfectly parallel to the front of the lens. I shot inside using available light and adjusted shutter speed to keep the ISO at 100. While the primes were slightly sharper, especially in the corners, you had to pixel peep to see much difference. For normal shooting, this lens is sharp through the zoom range.I used the Sigma to shoot the Canal Corridor 100 mile endurance race at the 60-mile mark aid station. It performed very well. Previously, I’ve shot the Burning River 100 mile endurance run using the Sony A99ii and Sony 70-400mm zoom. Because of the long zoom, I found most of my shots were taken with the runners further away. With the 24-70, I was waiting until the runner filled the frame more, and I got more intimate shots. I rarely missed focus, and the shots were all sharp. The backgrounds blurred nicely. The zoom range let me get wide angle shots to capture the support crew and spectators. Overall, the lens proved to be an excellent choice.Highly recommended for full-frame Sony E-mount cameras. I haven’t tried it on my APS-C camera yet, but it should be good on that.

Great lens. Versatile ,sharp and af is fast.

This is a really great piece of glass. It wouldn’t feel worth it to me to spend double on native Sony glass when this exists! I love that there’s an aperture ring, it’s truly a game changer as a videographer to have a zoom lens with an aperture ring. It’s light weight, sharp, and when zoomed in to 70 mm the length is really doable – can even balance it on a gimbal. The versatility is perfect as an event and travel videographer. This lens is always in my bag.

An excellent lens that’s just as good as the brand lens. This new version is a little bit smaller, lighter has a few more features. Image quality is excellent, no issues with focus breathing. For the price you can’t beat it. Build quality is nice and feel solid in the hand. Focus ring is smooth.

Great quality ease of use and photos are beautiful

Quality, Bokeh , excellent lens

Camera is heavy but smaller than I was expecting considering its 24-70 range with a 2.8.

Awesome Lens, super sharp and clear! I’ve had many sigma lenses and they are alway top notch for a lower price compared to name brand lenses. I’d highly recommend this if your wanting a 24-70 lens!!!

Fun lens to be a little creative. Definitely worth the price/fun ratio

As a photographer constantly lugging heavy glass, the idea of a $40 lightweight lens promising that nostalgic, instant-film look was too tempting to pass up. I took this tiny lens out to test its limits, and it certainly delivered a unique experience.The build quality is exactly what the concept suggests: minimal. It’s an incredibly lightweight pancake lens, which made my Sony E-Mount camera rig the lightest it has ever been—a huge relief for my wrists on a long hike when I’m used to carrying heavy f/1.2 or f/1.4 lenses. However, for my technical peeps, this is where the compromises begin: there is no lens cap, cover, or weather-seal on it. You have to be extremely cautious when carrying or using it.I got the e-mount, and it does lock in to the Sony models, it does not lock in place, but its a secure/snug fit without cause of worry.Functionally, there isn’t much to it – simply attach to the camera body, point and click.Key Technical InsightsOptics & Output: The lens is allegedly repurposed from a point-and-click disposable camera, and the quality is pretty comparable to that. It is set to a fixed f/11 aperture. Since there are no aperture blades, you are solely working with ISO and shutter speed to manage exposure.The Aesthetic: The style is undeniably distinct. It produces horrible lens flare and lots of hazing, combined with significant vignetting. While I could edit these flaws out, I believe the charm of this lens is supposed to be this way, mimicking the imperfections of instant film.Focus & Control: The most surprising challenge was the lack of control. The minimum focus distance is roughly 4-5 feet away, and not being able to control the focal point or depth of field is a creative control I didn’t realize I needed until it was gone! It forces you to focus entirely on composition rather than the technical details, which is a fun, freeing exercise.Post-Processing Issues: Be warned: there is no lens data in Lightroom to fix the distortions automatically, so any corrections must be done manually.Use and RecommendationFor a lightweight, fun point and click lens, the price point of $40 gets you exactly what you expect. It was perfect for my 3-mile hike, letting me capture scenes without the physical strain of my usual gear. The images I captured from the day, which are included in this post, are certainly unique.However, I would be highly hesitant to ever use it for client projects, even those that might desire this aesthetic. I would feel more comfortable using a reliable lens and spending the time editing the photos to the desired look, as that gives me the final control over the outcome.Overall: It’s a unique novelty and a great tool for removing technical distraction and focusing purely on composition. It is fun, but its lack of features (no cap, no weather-seal) and technical flaws limit it to being a purely recreational, “just something fun” lens.

It’s exactly what I expected. It definitely gives that nostalgic feeling, but it’s even better now that I have control over the lighting—unlike back in the day with the disposable camera.

I absolutely loved it.

I was really excited for this lens because it was advertised as looking like an Oreo cookie — lens cap and all. Unfortunately, the product doesn’t match the photos. Only the front of the lens has the Oreo-style design, and there’s no white ring around the body to mimic the cream filling. It’s still functional, but if you’re buying it for the full Oreo aesthetic, you’ll likely be disappointed.

I already had the Retropia Oreo lens for my RF-mount cameras, so of course I had to grab this EF-M version to slap on my M50. It’s the same charming little slice of lo-fi joy.This “lens” is less lens and more portal to your 1990s childhood. Fixed focal length? Yep. Fixed focus? Yep. Fixed f/11 aperture? You bet. No buttons, no rings, no settings. You just mount it, point it, and boom, you’re back to disposable camera vibes but with your fancy mirrorless body. It’s kind of like taping a potato chip to your Canon and watching it create magic.It works beautifully on crop-sensor cameras like the M50. On a full-frame like my R8, you’ll need to switch to 1.6x crop mode or be okay with some aggressive tunnel vision, because the image is too small for full-frame sensors. Either way, it does what it promises: dreamy center sharpness with soft, hazy edges and a nostalgic color cast that doesn’t care about modern optics or pixel peeping.It’s super lightweight (feels like a toy because it basically is) and surprisingly fun. You won’t win any detail contests, but you will fall in love with shooting again if you’re the kind of person who gets excited about imperfection and film-style randomness.Highly recommended for anyone who wants to have a little fun with their camera. No editing, no precision, just point, shoot, and see what happens. I’ve been shooting for decades, and like this unlikely lens enough that I now own two of them!

Overpriced lens cap at the end of the day. Image taken looks terrible.
