Customer Ratings & Reviews

This Canon prime lens is absolutely a must for all in both the video and photo arenas. Beginner or professional!

Sure the 1.2 is built better but at a third of the price this lens is awesome and gives great quality photos

Everyone must have the niffy fifty, great low light lens and b-roll shot. Great for wedding

I was very satisfied with this lens! It gives a very good look to pictures,

Great lens! Take good care of it. Wife set down her bag and it rolled out and down a hill into a river! Cost to fix, was as much as a new lens. Here we are for round two. Please note, lens is not water or sand proof. TAKES GREAT PORTRAITS!

I use this lens for every single session. It's crisp clarity cannot be beat. When my first one broke I was heartbroken; however, Best Buy delivered and did so quickly. I got my item the day after I ordered and didn't have to miss a single session with it. Thanks!

My second 50 1.4 lens. I sold the last one because I had to sell my equipment. Got back to photography and had to get it again. When buying lenses think about their reselling value. Canon Prime lenses and this lens do not lose much value.

Canon - Ef 50mm F/1.4 Usm Standard Lens is best for inside house use where light it less.

The lens is the perfect size and takes great pictures. It does an exceptionally good job on portraits.

I owned the 1.8 before purchasing this lens. This lens is much faster at focusing and QUIET! The 1.8 is fantastic but the 1.4 is faster for my purposes.

I bought this to take better pictures of my kids in our daily life and love it. I can move forward rather than zoom and slowly learn to manipulate some of the manual features on my camera.

Does as expected. Great for portraits and low light

There's nothing better than a nifty 50. Really loved this lens when I was shooting portraiture.

Great lens for a beginner easy to use an good product all around

Great mid level lense, the lense is slightly bigger than the higher aperture sister lens, but takes great photos. Very pleased with this purchase!!

The camera lens is amazing. Bought this to my girlfriend because she knew what this lens can do a magic work. Lens focused are truly amazing.

If I had to redo this decision I would have gone a different mm. This compared to the Zeiss version or red band version is the same in my eyes. I tested both models out and went with this one. I only wish I had saved and gone all out and gotten the telephoto. If you had the money stick to USM telephoto lenses but be prepared for the cost.

My wife uses this lens to take pics of family photos or kids photos for their parents etc. while not used all the time its a nice piece to have if you do photography as a side business or even a hobby but are a perfectionist.

I love this lens.. its a great portrait lens and its not that expensive.

The lens works well for portraits and close up wildlife photography.
