Customers are impressed with the EF 50mm f/1.8 II Standard Lens's image quality, ease of use, and ability to produce excellent photos in low light. Many appreciate its wide aperture, which creates a pleasing background blur, making it ideal for portraits. The lens is also praised for its affordability and lightweight design. However, some users have noted that the autofocus could be improved.

    I see why it's called the 'Nifty 50'!

    I bought this lens after taking a basic digital photography course at the local community college. Fixed lenses are the way to go if you want dramatic shots, in my opinion. This lens is affordable and allows me to practice all my newly learned techniques with immediate results - great photos! I am really enjoying this "nifty 50" - I think it is a basic staple for anyone with a compatible DSLR. (My camera is the Canon EOS Rebel T3i).

    I was looking for a lens to capture close up shots, and this one was a really good choice, as I read other reviews about other buyers that have obtained this lens I wanted to give it a try. It has defenetly been one of my favorite lenses to shoot close up shots of people and small items. I would really recommend this item.

    A good low light lens for stills and video. On a crop sensor camera makes a nice portrait lens- about 80mm. My only negative is the plastic mount, but the price is right. Flash pictures came out sharp with good color.

    This is a great beginner lens for those who are not fully familiar with DSLR cameras and the different use of lenses. Although it feels very light weight and toyish, the quality of the image is still spectacular once you get the hang of it and it is extremely easy to use. I love it and it's capabilities--especially for the price!

    This lens should be in every canon owners kit. Although it is completely plastic it creates awesome photos.
