    I’ve always wanted this lens and I finally saved up to get it. You have to stand pretty far from your subject if you want to get a good shot but the bokeh is good and the focus is even better.

    This is my favorite lens so far. The quality for portraits is second to none. This is definitely a lens that should be in your collection. Nice sharp pics and the bokeh is great

    Its a pretty good lens for its price. Captures great images with bokeh effect and is suitable for portraits. The low light performance is also great. If you have a canon DSLR and looking to get your first lens then look no further. Value for money guaranteed.

    I love this lens. Super nice and small. Not heavy. Very good product for its price. It does the job. I am thinking of buying another one for my father who’s into photography too. It’s worth every penny. Thank you BestBuy.

    The Canon 50mm STM is a must have lens for anyone who needs to shoot in low light or simply wants a sharp, lightweight lens than be used for portraits or general purpose short telephoto work if shooting with an aps-c crop format camera such as any of the Rebels. Highly recommended.

    So much bang for your buck, This is a great versatile lens, I use it for just about everything. It's a nice solid lens. It's excellent for low light situations where you don't want to use a flash. Heads up, if you have a cropped sensor this becomes an approximately 80mm lens.

    Sharpness, it's all about it. But don't go up to the max aperture if you want more sharpness. Great lens for carrying around during travel. Best for portraits and street photography. Not able to zoom is a drawback, but you have the best quality image.

    This lens is beyond necessary. Don’t get me wrong, I love the lenses that the camera came with, however, they were a little too big for every day use. This lens is exactly what I was looking for and can’t wait to take it on my next hike!

    The staff at Best Buy helped me pick the best lens for portrait wedding and graduation pictures, and this was IT! It literally made me fall back in love with my camera since I had no idea these beautiful pictures were even possible. It’s a must have.
