Customer Ratings & Reviews

Camera lens make a difference in quality. There is no point of buying a camera without upgrading the lens. Unfortunately the lens that come with cameras usually are good but there is a huge advantage of upgrading your lens for best quality.

I shoot as a hobby with a Canon EOS Rebel T6i, and this is the first lens I’ve purchased outside of the kit lens. I used it the day I purchased to shoot some photos of my friend’s kids and I have to say I am extremely impressed! The bokeh is beautiful, the images are so clear and the lens works wonderfully. Perfect for any photographer, novice or expert!

Just started using this lens and it has great quality. It’s a great beginner lens

Great affordable lens. Its lightweight and takes great pictures.

Really great lens. Easy to use. It’s a bit different than the lenses I had used before but I really like it.

For what you’re paying for this lens, it’s just silly not to buy one. Produces great photos, it has a wide aperture, and a very nice and snappy auto focus. There’s a reason it’s called the Nifty Fifty, practically any photographer you ask will have or have had this lens at some point. You don’t have to use it just for portraits either, go out there and play with it, you won’t be disappointed! Note to buyers, it does NOT have IS so it’s not exactly the greatest for making videos unless you use a tripod. Also the AF isn’t exactly whisper quiet and the noise will definitely be picked up by a mic mounted on the camera.

Wonderful lens for mind blowing photos . So much depth

This lens produces nice images, fantastic quality, and an amazing bokeh effect. Its very light weight and can hardly tell you have a lens on the body. Depth of field and apeture variety is brilliant. Good lens for the price.

Worked well, easy to use, takes great photos for the price

This is a great prime lens! Will be using for a long time.

Great lens. Works perfectly. Highly recommend purchasing.

This lense produces great images with a great shallow depth of field all while being incredibly cheap. Would recommend for any photographer, new, or experianced.

If you just bought a canon camera and you've been using the lens it came with, this is the first lens you should get. You just can't beat the value for money here. It's small, light, lets in a ton of light, and it's cheap. what else do you need?

Was looking forever for a good fixed prime lens to shoot portraits. Wasnt too sure if i should get the 1.4 or the 1.8 stm, so happy i went with the 1.8 stm, its lighter and way cheaper!!!

This is a great lens. Some of the reviews said the motor is noisey, but I don't here it. The picture quality is good. the price was reasonable.

Great quality and ease of use. Very good for portrait mode. Captures objects very well and captures depth automatically.

I am still new to learning cameras and lenses. I always heard having a 50 is must. It did not disappoint! It’s great to get you started. The BestBuy associate was so kind and helpful. I had a great expertise with my purchase.

Perfect 1st lens for a beginner photographer like myself! Paired with a Rebel T7 & my family thinks I’m a professional now lol

This lens should be a staple in any photographers kit bag. The background blur is off the charts, you go from looking like an armature to a real pro real quick with lens. It has a metal connection ring which fits nice an snug against the camera body(previous versions had plastic). This lens does not has IS(image Stabilization) , so you should have a steady hand or tripod in use. It is pretty solid and dead on throughout all the aperture stops. And for under 130.00 you get a lot of bang for your buck.

I just bought a Canon 80d only the body, I didn’t want the kit lense. So I did my research and everybody raves about this lense. And for good reason, Best purchase I’ve made. It’s cheaper and the quality is so good. Highly recommend it!
