Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great lens for overhead photography and blurry background.

We really enjoy this lens. It not only takes great pictures but is small so it keeps the camera lite and easy to handle. I heard this was the first item to get after your camera purchase. I will agree, it takes amazing close up shots of our kids. It has been fun to play with. The only thing I would say is the downside is indoor shots. It has a zoom feeling so we have to switch back to our 18-55 so capture a full room shot.

This lens is literally my favorite to use. As soon as I started using it a few months ago, I didn't really want to use any other. There are fancier lens' out there, but I just really love the image this one picks up. It also makes you use your feet a lot more being a prime lens which I think makes for better shots instead of zooming in.

This lens produces great images and it’s over $1000 cheaper than other prime lenses.

Easy to use, quality is good. Loving this Portrait lens.

I love this lens. It takes perfect portraits. And blurs out the background. I love it.

Bought this for my daughters camera and she loves it . Easy to use and great picture quality.

You can’t go wrong with this lens. I call it the nifty fifty because it’s small and easy to use. Makes great photos! Everyone doing photography needs this lens. It’s great!

This is a great starter lense for portraits. Easy setup and takes good pictures.

good quality lens. works great on low light. can't get anything better for the price.

Great Product. It is amazing. I love it. Just buy it!

Great beginner prime lens for the price. If you’re just getting into photography and have a small budget this is a must.

i dont say its awesome but its very good to start with. cheap and best lens ever

Nice lense performs as expected. Good value and good for beginners.

A must-have for every photographers bag. This little lens is very inexpensive, very light-weight, very unobtrusive (unlike larger lenses that draw alot of attention) and extremely helpful in low-light situations (if you know how to shoot in Manual or Aperture Prioity Mode).

Beautiful picture quality Did a few practice headshots and the customer loved them

Cannot beat the price! A fellow photographer recommended this Nifty Fifty for portraits.

It is light and to some may feel that it is cheap but it is a great lens. Very crisp pictures.

I have an old Canon Rebel XS and was looking for a lens for taking pictures of people. This lens has great reviews and is inexpensive so I thought I would give it a try. I'm very happy with this lens and was amazed at how well my portraits look now, the wide aperture makes a beautiful bokeh and lets you focus on a specific distance for the perfect shot. Do yourself a favor and get this lens!

Love this lens so much! Makes for clear & bright images, and perfect for portraits. It has the option to autofocus which is super helpful when you need to just get the photo and move on. Also Best Buy was quick with shipping the lens out and it arrived 2 days early. 100% planning to order my next lens from Best Buy.
