    The nifty 50 is the a CLASSIC canon lens. regardless if you're just picking up your first camera or if you're a 20 year professional, you need this lens. Auto focus is a little slower than your USM lenses having ISM technology however its worth it for that smooth 1.8 aperture.

    This is a fantastic lens, especially for the price! I use it to take portraits of my kids and get loads of compliments on the pictures - even from people who actually know what they're doing (unlike me). I love it!

    Get thr 35mm rf 1.8 Instead!

    If you have the 35mm rf 1.8 there’s really no need for this lens to be honest. It’s so much near the same focal length as that lens. But for the price it’s worth the purchase. It depends on what you do if you feel like it’s worth it. Portrait work would be great! However, I thought I would use this lens more but it just sits and collects dust in my camera bag.

    Excellent product & a value-for-money purchase. We were helped by a friendly & helpful Best Buy staff, who provided clear & adequate details on the product. Although they didn’t have the lense in stock at the store the day we purchased the lense as well as a Canon camera, it didn’t take that many days for the lense to be shipped to our house. Very good customer service!! Keep it up!!

    Can't beat this lens for the price. Large aperture good for low light and subject isolation. 50mm focal length gives a natural perspective. This lens is small and light but the optics are surprisingly good.
