LOVE THIS LENS.
Backstory about previous version not this version:
I've been shooting with Canon DSLR since 2007. The EF Nifty 50mm version 2, I did not like. It was one of my first lenses and it quickly lost its awe for me. It was noisy. I felt like it hunted for focus.
I switched to ALL mirrorless and purchased this RF lens, much later in my mirrorless journey because I hated the first so much. OMG I fell in love with this lens.
It is not noisy, slow to focus, and produces GREAT portraits.
I 100% recommend buying this one, for not only beginners but advanced photographers like myself!

Lightweight, sharp, good bokeh. Interacts well with the Canon R6. A relatively inexpensive "nifty fifty" and much lighter than the Tamron 45 mm. lens I have for my 5Diii, which I could use with the EF-RF adaptor. Happy so far.

The nifty 50 without the price, took a picture with this one at one. Eight took a picture with the 50 mm one. Four and quite a few people guess the wrong lens to the picture. Just saying

Excellent addition for low light portraits or a shallow depth of field.
The 50mm is a popular size for a single-length lens and is very versatile with great quality images. Light and handy.

Awesome lens. A but lagging on the auto focus but the f1.8 more than makes up for it. Currently used to shoot high school basketball in the gym.
