Customer Ratings & Reviews

What can you say about this great little lens? It creates some true magic when you set things up right. One of the best purchases I’ve made. Made endless memories with this one.

Takes great close-up shots. Very affordable. Love all my Canon lenses but I find myself grabbing for this one quite often!

Compact in size, easy for transport. Has a low fstop so you get good background blur and awesome low light quality. Tight fit on camera and hard, durable build quality. Best lens I own!

This is a must have lens for someone that has a compatible Canon DSLR camera. This is excellent for my T3i to take photos with lower lighting, and for portraits. beautiful boca effects for portraits!

Great lens. Light weight and does a great job taking sharp pictures. Lens I usually go to for most portrait pictures and close up photography.

A great add to my new camera! Definitely leaves images defined and crispy.

It was great best investment yet that I made the picture was very clear and delivered what I wanted. it is a good sense to click portage pictures.

This lens took some getting used to since it is a prime lens but I recently learned back button focusing which has made a huge difference when using this lens! Love the 1.8 aperture setting!!

This is great lens for anyone just getting started with photography. It’s a decent focal length for portraits, landscapes and all around any type of photo. Fast aperture great for exposures in low light or shallow depth of field for portraits. Even experienced photographers probably have this in their kit just because of its size and versatility and generally good quality. Can’t go wrong with this lens.

this is the 50mm in the canon lens its super cheap very reliable awesome for photos they call this the nifty fifty for a reason

This lens is an excellent entry into adding lenses to your kit. On Canon DSLRs with cropped sensors the focal length is effectively 80-85+/-. This isn't a prime lens, but for the $$ it is a total no brainer.

It's just awesome, pictures are great..............

Purchased this as a complement to a Canon Rebel kit set. The picture quality for the price is phenomenal. Since it is an EF lens and I'm using it on an APS-C body, the effective focal length is approximately 80mm, which makes it tough to use in tight spaces. That being said, when there's plenty of available room to work with, it makes a fine portrait lens. I have absolutely zero regrets.

I feel if you need an affordable 50mm lens for your camera, this is the one to get. There's another one that's better but costs more. I went with this one & I'm glad I did.

I love my 50mm lens! It takes great photos and has great focus. It’s not quite the same as the $1500 option with the f1.2 but for just over $100 you can’t go wrong with this one!

Really nice shallow depth of field, although you must be from a far distance. Really nice portraits and small figures.

This lens is really great. Especially for the price. Has a great depth of field range. The colors are great. Has very smooth and accurate focus for video or photo. You really can't beat it for the price.

Quality lens for cheap price. Metal mount and well built. Portraits looks awesome. Cons are ,not good for landscape. Wide angle is smaller specially if coupled with Crop sensor Camera.

This was our first lense purchase and we love it! It takes great low light pictures, focuses fast, is quiet,and good construction. We haven't taken it off of the camera since purchase. Great for kids photos.

This is one of my favorite lenses. I tend to have this on my camera at all times. Great for portraits, but not for landscapes (since there is no zoom). I did read other reviews before purchasing.
