Well worth the money!
Not a better portrait lens for the money available

Well worth it
I'm really happy with this lens. If you are looking for an affordable but professional lens for portrait photography, this is it.

I'm so pleased with the new STM version
I just ordered this lens and I tried it out right away!! I'm a portrait photographer and I've always had a 50mm 1.8 in my bag! My older one was dropped and so I needed a new one! I'm so pleased with the new STM version!! GORG colorful, crisp images!

Love it
The background blur with this lens is perfect for portrait photography! For sure recommend.

Worth Every Penny...
I absolutely LOVE this lens. It is a wonderful portrait lens! Photographs are crisp, clear, with vibrant color and to-die for bokeh. I love the zoom range, allowing me to walk around my subject and zooming in and out for completely different looks even while my client is in the same pose. But it is HEAVY! When I second shoot weddings, my main photographer asks me to start out using this lens. Initially I could only go three hours, but now I've worked up to about five hours before even the IS can't save my shaking, aching arms and I need to switch lenses to my 100mm or my 24-105.I also love this lens on a tripod for nature photography. While I might not be able to fill up a frame with a bird on a tree limb, on my 5d ii I am able to crop the image to make a beautiful, tack sharp image that looks like I had a super zoom lens on my camera.Highly recommended. If you don't have the money for this lens, but want a good portrait lens, consider the 100mm 2.8 lens.

Great!
If you're like me, and do some portrait photography, or are looking to get into portrait photography, start with this lens.It gives you great bokeh and is quite well in low light, just don't expect to shoot in the dark. Amazing lens, for an amazing price.Won't break the bank, but will exceed your expectations.Only thing I really noticed when I shot with it was more CA(chromatic aberration),but that wasn't a big deal.

Worth every dollar
For only $150, you get a very high quality portrait lens (it even has a metal mount). The difference between this one and the f/1.4 does not look to be worth getting the 1.4

Q
Will this work on my sony a6000 and tokina minolta 100-300mm macro zoom?
A
Yes
Q
Too loose/there is gap between lens and adapter ring
A
- If there is ever any more than a slight amount of rotational play, you may want to try tightening the lens mount adapter so it will hold the lens tighter to the mount. There are 3 flanges in the middle of the adapter (what the lens locks onto) that are split open slightly, this gap is what gives the tension that holds the lens tight to the body. Over time and with use these gaps decrease in size, no longer pulling the lens tight to the adapter, which allows the lens to move inside the mount more than it should.
- To tighten the fit, get a slim metal object (a #1.5 or #2.0 small flat eyeglass screwdriver is ideal) and insert it into the slit to open it up just a little bit (see images below, make sure to do it to all 3 evenly). The more you open the gap, the tighter the lens will be to the adapter; too much and the lens will have a hard time mounting so make sure to do it just a little bit at a time to all 3 flanges evenly, it doesn’t take much at all to get a tight fit.Note: please do not use too much strength, or the shrapnel will be damaged.
Q
What kind of rear and front caps would I buy to go on this since it doesn't come with any?
A
I don't think you need any. There is no glass.
Q
Does this adapter allow for canon fd lenses to focus to infinity on sony e-mount mirrorless cameras?
A
yes, i had no problems with infinity focus with this adapter. the only FD mount lens i use anymore with my sony is a vivitar 20mm, and i pretty much only shoot infinity focus with it.
Q
is this mount adapter work with panasonic GX-7 body & nikkor dx 18-200 lens.
A
The adapter will mount the lens and you will be able to use it manually. However, my copy of the adapter does not allow the lens to be fully mounted all the way until it clicks into place. It doesn't quite make it, but it's still very solidly mounted. Also, the manual aperture linkage doesn't work properly (on my copy, at least) so exposure is controlled only by shutter speed and/or ISO. You will be able to manually focus and zoom the lens but no VR, of course. It will be a frustrating experience. Instead, get a 14-140 Panasonic zoom if you can afford it!
