    Necessary lens for great pictures

    I bought this as an extra lens to go with my new camera. I'm so glad I spent the extra money for it because it produces the type of pictures I wanted to capture of our new baby. It automatically zooms in when the lens is attached so you have to be further away from the object you're taking the picture of, but that's usually not a problem. Also, it takes a while to adjust to the focus settings. It will focus on whatever is closest instead of a face, but I'm sure after playing around a little more I will have greater control over it.

    Wow. I think this lens is a must have for any photography enthusiast who may want to go beyond the basic lens kit usually found in DSLR cameras. I am an amateur photographer and take pictures mainly of my family and I can only tell you that this lens is amazing. It's easy to use and you'll notice right away that you want to bring this lens everywhere.

    Great all purpose, easy to use lens....especially if you like that 'blurred-background' look to your pictures. Great for portraits.

    No one doesn’t like a 50 mm lens, it gives you the depth you want, crisp and focused images.

    I've shot professional photography for about a year now. When I needed a backup lens (but didn't want to spend the money), I went ahead a picked this up. At first, I was going to write a review on this lens. To my surprise, the lens provided sharp images...but it was slow to focus and extremely loud!!!

    Hits the sweet spot

    This new version of the 50mm standard lens hits most of the sweet spots with its compact design, improved build quality, excellent image quality, improved auto focus, and great bokeh. It does am amazing job at capturing bright images in low light locations. You may see some darkening of the corners at full frame such as when using 5D Mark III but equalize by F2.8. But optimal sharpness is at F5.6. Canon got it right with this release. It's great for portraits, indoor sports, travel, street photography, and stage.

    Got this lens when I purchased the Rebel T7. This is such an inexpensive lens compared to other lenses and a good quality! I only take photos of my family and friends, so this works perfectly for me.

    Bought this lens specifically for low light / night time photography. The 1.8 aperture makes all the difference. Definitely recommend this lens.
