Great for the price. Treat yourself to a lens with nice budget bokeh.

Solidly built. Creamy bokeh open. Very sharp at f.8. Bought NEEWER 25mm and returned because it was cheaply made. Not this one. It comes with a nice focus tab and fabric. Although I would like the focus ring to be respected and the infinity to be on the right rather than the far left. Although this is minimal. My only real issue with this lens is how easy it is to move the focus rings. When I set the focus at 9ft, it doesn't stay in place and slides to one side or the other as I walk. This is a case where you get what you paid for, so it doesn't matter. Just a little annoyance. I would still recommend this over the Neewer 25mm. Also, I'm not a fan of silver highlights so I went with a red highlighter and I think it looks great. Check it out if you want your budget lens to stand out a bit.

Pros
  • Nice to use
Cons
  • I vaguely remember

Nice little lens. Easy to focus as long as you don't have huge hands.
