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.

    This lens is wonderful! I'm new at building my DSLR lens collection and this is my first prime lens. It takes gorgeous close up portraits, as well as stunning landscapes. A little shout out to Vagon at the Oakland, CA store: he was so knowledgeable about lenses and helped me choose the correct one for my needs. I wouldn't go anywhere but Best Buy for my electronic needs (and wants ;))

    I am a canon user and I bought this lens for my everyday photography and travel. I have the canon 1.2 mm and let me tell you although the image quality is not exactly the same the fact that this lens is smaller and lighter give it a Big advantage when traveling. I strongly recommend this lens to add to your kit. You won't be disappointed.
