    Called local phone# but never told it a call center. Foreign person whom kept cutting out. Told only one left but lie. Had horrible experience in trying to pay with credit card. Told would be at local store but went on date but had to go back 3 different days.. Told truck broke down, told back ordered, told delivery not on truck. Poor service. Never have items in stock. Probably my last time buying from Best Buy.

    Very budget friendly lens..... for the price you're getting a great deal! But even better than that is the quality of the lens you're getting.

    Great lens for photography! But creating videos, you’ll want to shop around for other lenses with more range.

    Bought this on the advice of an associate. It does not fit the Rebel T7. Not a big deal I exchanged for the correct lense however had to pay the 15% restock fee Which seems wrong.

    The lens to have with you at all times

    This new RF 50mm F1.8 is, in my opinion, a real success, and a remarkable evolution of the EF 50 mm 1.8 STM. Exceptional sharpness is present as soon as you down-stop 1f aperture, and presents remarkable quality for portrait photography when mounted on APS-C (canon R7, 80mm equivalent). At this price, it's a real bargain.
