For the price: BUY IT!
I got this lens to see if I wanted a 50mm 1.8 lens in the first place, figuring I'd replace it if I did. I've been pleasantly surprised by this little workhorse of a lens! I use it on a Nikon z5 with ftz mount and it performs very well for what it cost.
The body is not rugged, but it's a small lens so you're not likely to bang it around much. Focus is good, fairly fast (you're not going to be doing speed photography with this lens anyway). The images are clear, nice bokeh effects, decent for low light thanks to the 1.8 aperture. I use it for portraits, macros, and street photography mostly.
Cons: on my ftz-mount it occasionally stutters and gives an error, simply pushing the capture button clears this error, it hasn't been a problem. The bokeh effect can be quite pronounced and sharp, detracting from your subject, but paying attention and using your basic photographer skills can easily handle this.
For about $100 you can't go wrong. It's a perfect beginner lens to refine your skills and techniques before plunging into something higher quality.
