Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is my first lens apart from the kit lens that came with the camera. I love it. The aperture goes down to f1.8, so you can shoot in lower light and you can do really nice shallow depth of field photos with some nice bokeh effect. I'm very happy with it.

I love this zoom for my cannon t6 take good pictures even in dark

I'm using this 50mm STM lens with Canon 70D and it is an excellent lens, especially for the price. It focuses almost instantly and very quietly. It gives sharp images at f1.8 to f11 or so, and then gets a bit soft as all lenses on this type of camera do due to diffraction. If you haven't used an f1.8 lens before, be prepared to learn how to focus precisely on your intended subject because depth of field at 1.8 is razor thin, meaning objects even slightly closer or farther than the focus point will begin to blur. Not great for group people shots, but is great for isolating your subject and making it "pop". The lens body is mostly plastic, but it doesn't feel cheap and flimsy like it's predecessor did. I also have the Nikon f1.8 at almost twice the cost, and the Canon is equal in image quality in my opinion. Now if Canon would only include lens hoods with their lenses...

If you are looking for the background to be blurry and only you to be in focus, movie quality effects, well this lense is for you. You can also get the aperture really low which is great for streaming or making YouTube videos in your room.

I love it. Glad I made this purchase. Took some great photos with it.

Great photo quality. This lens fits on the rebel t5i.

It came fast and amazing performance. I love how my pictures came out with this lens. If you are thinking about getting this lens GET IT RIGHT NOW!!! You won’t regret it.

I shoot with the rebel t5 and this lens produces pretty nice portraits for using an entry level DSLR.

Excellent for near pictures and the price is good and easy to used

Love this lens! Super clear! Easy to focus! And amazing results when it comes to portrait photos!

I really don’t know what I’m doing not a trained photographer but I wanted to up my photo game and this really takes beautiful pics - especially portraits - gives good background blur

This is one of my favorite purchases. It helps capture great portraits and fun photos with a crystal clear focal point and blurred backgrounds. It is great for beginners to test out how to get great shots but also makes it easy to capture the right one. I'm very happy with my purchase.

This is a great lens for the price. I've been keeping an eye on the 50mm 1.8 II for some time, but was worried about the build quality. This lens has great build quality, doesn't feel cheap like the 1.8 II. Picture quality is great, much quieter than the 1.8 II, and is it much cheaper than the 50mm 1.4 lens.

Im a newbie photographer and this lens was a game changer. This lens is so universal from portrait photographer to journalism photography

Handy for shooting weddings and other events. Nice addition

This nifty fifty lens was recommended as an all-purpose option for traveling and hiking. It worked perfectly and the photos were wonderful. It took a little getting used to on our T2 body, but it got easier with each shot...especially the close ups.

If you are looking for great photos with a nice depth of field this is the lens you want. This instantly took my photos to the next level.

I owned the 50mm 1.8 II and the quality was great but it was really cheaply made and noisy! But with this It's someone anyone can enjoy! Silent and better quality. Definitely worth the money BUT if you already own the 50mm 1.8 Mark II just stick with that and buy youself the 50mm 1.4

If you are looking for a great lense that is small and takes the best pictures for portraits definitely get this one. It blurs out the backgrounds and focuses on the person or even object you are trying to take a picture of . It gives you crisp high define pictures .

super good lense. great bokeh. great overall 10/10
