Generally priced at ~$130 and below from pretty much every Canadian retailer this lens is worth the money. The larger aperture is great for night photography and it allows me to take handheld night pictures with at least some moon/streetlight, with a correspondingly high ISO, without the need for a flash. Additionally the larger aperture can allow you get a much shallower depth of field than other lenses providing you with greater versatility.
The image quality is also very good for the price. This certainly won't compare with more expensive lenses but for the price it's certainly a tremendous value.
If you need a cheap lens that will allow you to shoot at night or do some photography with a very shallow depth of field and you don't want to spend a ton this is certainly a must buy.

For the price i payed, it's an awesome lens, works well and takes better pictures then any zoom lens i've bought for 3 times the price. Only thing with mine was when i go into manual the focus wheel doesn't turn as smoothly, my friend bought the same lens and his works perfectly though

I love this lens and can't believe what it gives me for the ultra low cost. Sure, the casing is plastic, but it doesn't affect the job that it does and it's not like it's going to break easily unless you throw your gear around carelessly. The quality of the lens and the pictures it can capture are worth a lot more money than this sells for. Everyone should have this lens in their camera bag.

Good low light lens
It works well especially in low light, little bit clunky when focusing but it gets the job done well enough.

Awesome for video
If you are shooting video on your DSLR don't get too obsessed with sharpness. What you want is low light and great image. This lens provides both. Read more
