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.

    I purchased this lens a couple of weeks ago and have used it far more than I use any of my kit lens. It's very sharp and dependable.

    Love this lens. I replaced my kit lens with this one and it makes taking creative photos easy. It's as close to plug n play as you can get.

    Great capture in low light situations for stills. Video capture is ok, but noisy operation causes bad back round noise on audio recording.

    Your first lens to learn photography.

    You can read up about why you should buy a prime lens plenty of other places. The value you get from this (relatively) cheap lens is hard to beat. It takes a little getting used to if you've never used a prime lens before, but not being able to zoom makes you learn how to compose better shot. A good first lens if you're learning photography.
