Customers are saying

Customers love the EF50mm F1.4 USM Standard Lens for its exceptional image quality and beautiful bokeh. Many appreciate its strong low-light performance and ease of use, finding it well-suited for portraits and offering good value for the price. A minor drawback mentioned by some users is the audible noise during autofocus.

    I recently had the 50mm f1.8. I decided to upgrade to the f1.4. Fast focusing and quieter. The bokeh is very nice as well.

    I purchased this lens to use mostly for portraits. It takes crisp, clear shots. It has its limitations, but if it is used within those limits you will not be disappointed.

    This lens replaced a damaged lens on my son's camera. He is back in business and is very pleased with this lens. It was always his "go to " lens when using his DSL.

    Good lens, handy and lightweight at a good price. Buyer should also consider the 50 1.2, and the sigma 50 1.4 ART lens, however more expensive options.
