Customer Ratings & Reviews

I love this lens. It is a fantastic lens for portraits, street photography, and general use. It is my go-to lens because if the great optics and light weight. This is a must have for new or novice photographers. You can't beat the price for this impressive glass.

For that price is good, this lens work amazing, has a lot of light and the body it´s metal. The manual focus isn't good for work fast.

Excellent Lens... it's Canon. The sales person... sucked absolute canal water!

very good for what it’s designed for. easy to use and works like it should

I was recommended this lens and the 24MM 2.8 by a photographer, and the quality of my novice photos has improved drastically. Canon should include these lenses in their kits and leave the zoom lenses for add on purchases later.

The “nifty fifty” is really just a great do it all type of lens. I have a DSLR just for family pictures and I always get great shots of my kids with this. It’s barely left my camera since I bought it.

A solid lens, worked perfectly for the shoot I needed it for. Photos came out looking great

This is my first prime lens. I use it only cropped sensor camera, so 50mm is is more like a 75mm. But the pictures are crisp and beautiful, also great in low light.

I absolutely love this lens, it’s given my photographs a cool look

I purchased this to use my canon rebel t7 as a webcam and the image/video is super crisp. Works great.

Stumbled across this lens at my local Best Buy, Actually googled it while I was there to read some reviews, all positive. For the $ you can’t go wrong. Great nifty fifty, plastic fantastic! Clear, fast lens!

Got this lens to use for portrait type pictures and was not disappointed! Love the low fstop settings for a nice blur to the background. Have had a blast experimenting with it. It has been a great addition to my equipment wish I would have bought it sooner!

This lens is an outstanding addition to my collection. I shoot a lot of pictures in low light gymnastics venues with not flash. This lense allows me to work in tighter spaces than my 70-200 f 2.8 does without loss of quality. Definitely money well spent.

This is a great little lense for working wedding receptions and similar venues. A 50 mm is great staple to have in your kit and gives a nice shallow depth of field.

This lens makes using the Canon cameras so much more enjoyable than the standard Kit Lens most of them come with. It's not multi-purpose like the kit lens is, but this should be an automatic inclusion when you buy your camera. It's THAT good.

Pictures come out clear, and definitely a good starter lens for up close shots

upon the purchase of my first canon dslr, it was recommended to buy this lens in addition to the package lens with camera. I AGREE, it is perfect for portrait photos!

Great quality lens for a great price. I use it with my canon rebel T7. Perfect for close up portraits!

This lens is phenomenal when youre learning to shoot and dont need/want the complexity of a zoom lens. It has amazing power for its size and price.

This was my first prime lens, and while it may not feel like a Sigma Art lens in your hand it's astonishing for the value. Picture quality is quite nice for the money.
