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.

    You get what you pay for. I decided to go with this lens because of how cheap it was... & it was cheap. It felt like it was made out of cheap plastic & I felt like it would break at anytime. The focusing was really loud & sometimes didn't even focus at all.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
  • Cons mentioned:
    Auto focus

    Difficult to use but serves the purpose.

    This lens was purchased with the intent of taking photos that would allow me to focus on an object/person meanwhile blur out everything else behind it. It has proven to be a bit more difficult to fit people into the shot than I expected resulting in me having to step further pack to get the shot that I'm looking for.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

  • Good lens for the price
