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.

    I am new to photography. I was told this is the lense to use to make sure that you are able to take close-up pictures without issue.

    Got this to go with my new camera. Been having a lot of fun taking various up close and far away shots with the various lenses. Reminds me of the fun I had using my OG cannon rebel when we actually used film.

    This new version of the 50mm Canon lens is faster and more quiet than the previous. It's a must have for any photographer, and at this price it's hard not to want it

    Not What I Needed

    I like to take good quality photos with minimal knowledge and talent. I thought this lens would give me better quality photos in low light settings. I was not used to having to move around to get the right distance from my subject. This caused me to have slightly blurry photos. I went back to the zoom lens since it's simpler and fits my needs. I'm going to recommend this lens for those with more knowledge of photography than me.

    This lens was bought to replace the previous model of the same lens. One of the keys upgrades is the improvement to the auto focus which could be a major problem with the previous version. This lens is a good introduction into prime lenses at wonderful price.

    I have used this 50 mm in the past on different rigs and I can honestly say it is something all photographers should have in their collection. There is no zoom feature, but the f-stop drops to 1.8 which is an excellent choice for low light situations!

    I love the lens itself, but mine sometimes gets stuck during automatic focus. Other than that it's an amazing lens! Adds a lot of detail
