Customers are saying

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.

    Although it feels cheap because of the use of plastic, it takes great, clear photos. the f1.8 gives you a great range of use from outside to inside.. for the price i would go to your local BestBuy and buy it, its just an all around great lens for the price.

    For the price, this is a good lens. It takes good photos with a shallow depth of field. The only problem is that it takes a long time to auto focus.

    This was a great addition to my lenses, works great. Keep on manual focus otherwise it constantly wants to focus and not necessarily on what you want.

    Great lens for its price. I use for indoor use in lower light. All-plastic body of lens might make it lens durable for heavy-duty professional use, but should not be a factor for amature use. This has become my second most used lens.

    This lens takes beautiful portrait pictures. No need for adjustments. It is light and small, so it is not cubersome.
