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.

    Every photographer needs a fixed 50 in their camera bag. It takes cool shots with great bokeh. For the price, it's a no-brainer.

    This is a great lens for shooting portraits but avoid shooting anything else really with it. Hard to stay in focus if multiple subjects. Otherwise a great lens.

    Love this lens for the price! The image quality is crisp and nice. Only negative is the plastic casing for the lens. But, I do not think it is big deal for a $100 lens that shoots good for photos and video.

    A really good base lens for an older DSLR body. Got it for my son to take on an extended trip to Europe. Works great.
