Customers are saying

Customers are pleased with the excellent lens quality, sharpness, and overall performance of the product, often highlighting its ease of use and great value. They also appreciate its ability to create good background blur and depth of field, as well as its low weight. The primary concern, however, is that the auto-focus struggles in dimmer light conditions.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

The vast majority of our reviews come from verified purchases. Reviews from customers may include My Best Buy members, employees, and Tech Insider Network members (as tagged).

    I tried the Yongnuo 50mm and it was okay for a few years, but once the kids got older and started moving faster the autofocus just couldn’t keep up. The Canon version does everything better and doesn’t break the bank. I got mine from Best Buy because I had some gift cards.
