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.

    Got this to use with my 6d. Works great for available light. Love shooting pix of my grand daughter on the floor in the livingroom with the shade open.

    I'm bought this as an event lens and overall it was good however, some of the photos came out blurry because it focused in on the wrong thing. Portraits however are easy to focus and the photos turn out great.
