Prime lenses with fast apertures are often expensive, leaving enthusiasts and budget-conscious photographers without an affordable way to achieve shallow depth of field and low-light performance.

Tips

For best results, use a lens hood to reduce flare and protect the front element. When shooting wide open at f/2.0, be mindful of shallow depth of field—focus carefully on your subject's eyes for portraits. This lens is also a good match for APS-C cameras as a short telephoto equivalent.
