"I use my camera for real estate photos, this lens lets me go places that my 18-55 kit lens could not. It takes photos of small kitchens, small bathrooms, and small backyards. I know, at f/4.5 It's a little slow for interiors, but with bounce flash, the shots turn out nice and bright. I have attached …"  Read Full Review »
