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.

    Great beginner general purpose lens that can get all the way down to an effective f/1.2 if using a speedbooster/focal reducer. Solid buy but feels cheap and the focus ring sucks.

    Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM Standard Lens is great for portraits but if you want to use for video, the auto focus is loud and slow.

    Honestly for the price you can't get much better. You can't really expect a super high quality lens for under $200 but this gets the job done.
