Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is a good beginner lens, especially if you like portraits! Not very sharp images, though.

Great lens for beginners. Really good Macro lens for the price. I bought it to take pictures of dew on grass works wonders

Purchased this based on reviews and with my 5D2 it wasn’t up to my expectations.

Best value lense money can buy. Google nifty fifty. That is the nickname for this lense, and read the great reviews.

I would highly recommend this lens, it is a great product and you will love it

This is a must have lens for everyday photos , try it you will be pleased

I like the wide angle shots from this lense. Just wish I could do more.

This lens is the best if you are trying to create a better blurred effect behind your subjects.

This lens is great for close ups. Fits nicely onto the Canon 60D

Good for price, slow auto focus, overall decent if you're looking for an affordable 50mm lens

First lens I have ever bought & I so happy I did. I been using it for food photography.

This is a very handy lens for pictures at close distance and blurring the background

Very good Lens, good quality and it take very good photos

It’s a great lens , however DO NOT purchase if you don’t have an STM canon camera.

Bought it in October 2020. It is already not working. I have camera storage, keep them very clean and it still broke after 2 months

This isn't worth the money. I wish I would have got the 1.4 instead.

wrong item was sent, item was opened and replaced with a different lens.

Cheap lens. Noisy. You get what you pay for on this one. Just a basic lens no magic here. Great value for someone learning how to take pictures.

Weird camera it only focuses when it’s super close to your face.

I bought this lens a few years back. It was the first lens I'd purchased besides the kit lens, and I bought mainly because I'd read so many great reviews. One thing to note is that it is not as sturdy as the more expensive lenses. The first one I owned broke, but I replaced it. It's possible to achieve a very shallow depth of field with the 1.8 and it's great for bokeh effects (Seriously, get a bokeh effects kit. It's COOL!). But unfortunately the color quality could be better, but for $125 it's honestly a great deal. Especially when you consider how expensive lenses can be. If you're a beginner and/or you just want something fun without a hefty price tag, then this is for you!
