Customer Ratings & Reviews

I love it! It's so easy to use and the results are beautiful. I'm impressed by the shallow depth of field!

Great price for a even better camera lens. I got exactly what I was looking for with this lens and the shipping was quick (2days)! No problems with the lens and the picture bokeh is very nice with this telephoto lens.

love love love it! Takes sharp portrait pictures and is super easy to use.

Best bang for the buck. Cheap, light, and laser sharp. A must have for Canon users.

This Nifty Fifty is a big bang for how affordable it is compared to other lenses. Great for portraits.

I liked starting with the prime lens since it pushes me to be more creative with the framing.

I own a Canon Rebel T5i and a 60D. I have been shooting semi seriously for about a year and it was time to step up my game in regards to lenses. I did a lot of research and chose the "Nifty 50" as I have heard it referred to. It is great for portraits and getting really good depth of field. I also like that it works with a full frame came if/when I decide to make that transition. For the cost you will not find a better lens.

Takes portraits like if I’m using a $2k camera while I’m using an r50

Easy to use makes up close photos amazing and blurs the background great for beginners

I love this lens for the price and it lives up to the hype.

If you’re looking for a bang for your buck in terms of image and video quality, the f1.8 aperture is incredible for the price. The auto focus is quick, a bit noisy as you can hear the motor every time but you’ll be wanting to shoot manual for the best quality. Plastic exterior with a metal base, it’ll last you a longtime if you take care of it.

Great camera for portrait pictures. Paired with my dslr i love they quality it gave my old camera. Great price to!

The EF50mm F1.8 STM Standard Lens for Canon EOS DSLR Cameras is like a magic wand for photographers. With its wide aperture of f/1.8, it's perfect for capturing those dreamy portraits with a gorgeous blurry background. It's so small and light that you can carry it everywhere and never miss a moment. And when it focuses, it's like a silent ninja – super quick and gentle. Whether you're just starting out or a seasoned shooter, this lens adds a touch of pro to your photos without breaking the bank. It's basically a ticket to awesome pictures, and who wouldn't want that?

I purchased this lens for it's wide aperture so that I could achieve a shallow depth of field with my camera. I found it to be a great price but you also get what you pay for. This lens does not include image stabilization and does not take the sharpest photos, however, it does exactly what I expected it to. I find that this lens performs best when the aperture is not fully open and the shutter speed is set to aminimum of 1/100th of asecond. The focusing motor is quite noisy but for $125 it does its job. If you're still using a kit lens that was included with the camera you should definitely give this lens a try!

I love this lens. Especially for a beginner like me!

Product works flawlessly with my Canon t7 and the entire process of purchasing was as smooth as could it be.

I loved it! Very compact and lightweight. Makes beautiful portraits.

This is a must-have lens if you're looking to buy your first prime. Bokeh is excellent. The new metal mounting surface is an immediate upgrade compared to the older f1.8 II. The STM motor focuses very fast, though hunts a little bit in low light settings, even at f1.8. You'll experience some ChromeAb wide open, but that's expected. For the price, you can't deny the value of this lens.

I love my new camera lens! It changes the game when it comes to my photos that I take!

Its tried, true, and cheap! Sure the 1.2 offers more light but 3x the price. This is the first lens a new owner should buy so they can see the difference the f1.8 offers over kit f4 lens. On a crop its 80ish which is still a good length while still blowing out the background. For the price it really is a no brainer!
