In case you are new to photography, let me emphasize that this $120 lens is as sharp and over twice as sensitive to dim light as the $1,500 28-70mm AF-S lens. The reason to spend sixteen times as much is for no other reason than to get a lens that can zoom instead of you having to move forward and back to compose your image.
If you need super sharpness and a fast aperture than choose this over a zoom at the same price. This lens makes almost no compromises in image quality; it is inexpensive because it is both a very simple lens to make and few people want them today. A $120 zoom lens has to cut many corners in image quality that this 50mm doesn't.

Except for the ghosting... this is hands down, for the money (which I've seen this as low as $90.)... the best 50mm lens to have in your bag

This is still my go to lens for band photography. Classic.

My favorite lens. I have a 90mm and this 50mm, and I wont probably ever use the 90 again. Hands down- worth the 120.

I have this but never reach for it. Nothing wrong with it but other than a few portraits I never use it. I tend to go to my DX-ED zooms more. Not as fast but every bit as sharp if not more. guess this is more of a comment than a review sorry.

This is my number one lens I use for portrait photography. No other lens for this price will get the clarity and crispness. Hands down.
