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.

    My first macro lens and I am so happy to have it. I have taken really nice pictures with it. The only things I did not like much is the build quality. It does not look sturdy and is noisy.

    This is a great lens. It has a nice tight focusing at 1.8. I would recommend digitally zooming in on your camera to ensure good focus at low f/stop. Great beginner prime lens.
