    This is one of my favorite purchases. It helps capture great portraits and fun photos with a crystal clear focal point and blurred backgrounds. It is great for beginners to test out how to get great shots but also makes it easy to capture the right one. I'm very happy with my purchase.

    This is a great lens for the price. I've been keeping an eye on the 50mm 1.8 II for some time, but was worried about the build quality. This lens has great build quality, doesn't feel cheap like the 1.8 II. Picture quality is great, much quieter than the 1.8 II, and is it much cheaper than the 50mm 1.4 lens.

    I owned the 50mm 1.8 II and the quality was great but it was really cheaply made and noisy! But with this It's someone anyone can enjoy! Silent and better quality. Definitely worth the money BUT if you already own the 50mm 1.8 Mark II just stick with that and buy youself the 50mm 1.4

    This nifty fifty lens was recommended as an all-purpose option for traveling and hiking. It worked perfectly and the photos were wonderful. It took a little getting used to on our T2 body, but it got easier with each shot...especially the close ups.

    I really don’t know what I’m doing not a trained photographer but I wanted to up my photo game and this really takes beautiful pics - especially portraits - gives good background blur

    If you are looking for a great lense that is small and takes the best pictures for portraits definitely get this one. It blurs out the backgrounds and focuses on the person or even object you are trying to take a picture of . It gives you crisp high define pictures .

    I recently purchased this lens as a first upgrade to my T7i. It is a great lens with specific application. The f/1.8 is fantastic for getting great bokeh in your picture. I am a beginner photographer and this lens made it very easy.

    I’m an amateur photographer but wow- I can tell a huge difference with this lense! Very reasonably priced too- my husband bought it as a gift for me- and he found it cheaper somewhere else and they price matched!

    This lens seems to be working just fine. I really don't know much about it or photography for that matter. I bought this on recommendation from a friend who shoots a lot. It was super easy to install and the few pictures I've taken look great.

    Wonderful bokeh

    Decided to try out a prime lens for a T3 rebel and this lens did not disappoint. It's compact enough to leave on the camera, and the focal length is just right for close portrait shots. At f/1.8, the depth-of-field is shallow, which gives great bokeh effects!
