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.

    Had been using the 85mm for some time and wanted to get a new prime lens. Went with the 50mm and love it. Excellent quality for outdoors.

    This has been my favorite lens for years. Once I upgraded from the 50MM 1.8 there was no turning back! Creamy bokeh, sharp tack images and just beautiful results!

    The lens have a great build quality. The photos come out amazing. I would recommend these over the f/1.8 since they focus much faster

    I bought this because I needed a low light lens for when the bundle lens (with zoom) didn't let in enough light. This one does the job. For the price, I can live with good low light performance and no zoom.

    Price wise is a bit more expensive than the 1.8 but it is a bit better. Is it worth the difference!! don’t think so

    The lens works really good -- I wanted to just have a standard 50MM lens. It would be nice if Canon made the image stabilized version of this.

    Although I'm still trying to get the hang of the different lenses, I like this lens because it does what it's supposed to do. Let's in a lot of light and provides that blur in the background as it conentrates (focuses) on main object. Great for portrait use.

    It's a great quality lens for the price if you don't need something that is as rugged as an L series lens but still produces great quality photos.
