The ratio of price and quality is very pleasing, I will repeat the purchase.

I don’t know where to attribute the price =) Personally, I took it for 7800. Yes, not the cheapest, but compared to more professional lenses, the price is very reasonable (besides, for such a high-quality lens).

I use it with Nikon D5100, there are no problems, everything is convenient. In the store I compared it with 35 mm, but only after putting 50 mm I realized that this is what I needed. I advise you to buy, to feel what a fixed aperture lens is :)

Pros

1. Very fast focusing. On my 18-55 it is much slower, although its speed was enough for me. 2. Aperture. After whale 3.5-5.6 - heaven and earth. For example: I have a whale 18-55, at home, even with all the energy-bright bulbs, in order to get a NOT dark photo, the settings had to be set something like this: Exposure: no higher than 50 Aperture: maximum open 3.5 ISO: not less than 500 At 50 mm offhand I put the following: Exposure: 200 Aperture: 1.8 ISO: 0 And it turned out amazing. That's why he's bright =) 3. The lens is small, short, comfortable to wear, now you can just put it neatly in your bag, do not take a special wardrobe trunk. 4. The colors are bright and saturated and without processing, there are no complaints about sharpness. 6. Background blur is excellent, no problem, beautiful drawing, good for portraits. 7. Light in weight, the whale one was not heavy, and with this lens the camera is almost not felt. Which, by the way, is not for everyone. I have a Nikon 5100, it’s even uncomfortable for my husband to hold it (small), and without weighting it got even worse. 8. Focus options: You can choose either manual control or automatic with manual override. It's two in one, very convenient.

Cons

1. Fixed focal length. Legs really have to run. Unaccustomed to uncomfortable =) 2. Few things enter the frame, you have to move away well, for example, to shoot in full growth, but for the house it’s quite enough - even if there are a lot of people - they enter the photo waist-deep. 3. The assembly is plastic, not metal. Minus controversial, for me it does not matter. Be careful and all.

Its pros: Very fast, 1.8 is enough for any purpose. And inexpensively priced. Its cons: I honestly thought it would be worse, exceeded all expectations. Very fast and accurate autofocus, you can safely shoot sports at F2.0-F2.8 95% of the shots are in focus.
