Customers are saying

Customers have good things to say about the EF50mm F1.8 STM Standard Prime Lens for EOS DSLR Cameras, especially regarding its lens quality, ease of use, and overall performance. Many appreciate the background blur and depth of field it provides, as well as its lightweight design. The primary concern expressed is with the auto focus, which some users find struggles in low light.

    This is an upgrade from Canon's other buget prime lens. It has a metal base instead of a plastic one and a stepping moter that is great if you shoot video.

    The lens does what I wanted it for. For most users this beats spending three times as much from other makers.

    If you are wanting to step up your photography skills this should be the first lens you buy after the kit lens. Easy to use and fast focus when on AF.

    I like the lens, the focus ring takes more to adjust focus unlike the previous version but feels a lot better than the previous version. Definitely worth he buy.

    I recently dropped and broke my other 50mm lens. But I'm kind of glad because this one is a bit different and seems to be more quiet and efficient!
