Customer Ratings & Reviews

LOVE LOVE LOVE this lens! 10/10 recommend! Can't wait to get more lens'!

I recently purchased this lens to use with my Canon 7D. I needed a lens with a much lower f-stop than a f-4.0 so I grabbed this lens because it was within my price range and I'm satisfied with my purchase. The only con to this lens so far is that there is no image stabilization so moving and filming may be shaky without a proper stabilizer. Other then that it's a great lens for the price.

Love this little lens! It’s easy to use and works great. Love the quality & ease of this lens. Everything looks crisp and clear when using this lens.

Lens was received in good condition. Worked well with my camera.

I am amazed by this lens quality at this price. It's perfect for beginners and gives a nice blurry background in your pictures. It's not bulky and can be carried around easily. I am loving it!

This lens is well made. It take nice, clear pictures. The f1.8 aperture allows you to take pictures with out of focus backgrounds to help draw attention to your subject; much better than any kit lens.

It's a nifty little prime. I'd say it is well worth the purchase for a new photographer. This model has a better build quality than an earlier one with a plastic mount and no STM, which was also a nice lens.

I purchased this lens to take pictures of my new grand child and it does a wonderful job of taking clear pictures with a slightly blurred background! I wish I had this years ago!

GREAT IMAGE!!!! This lense captures images better than a normal lense for the EOS during the day as it takes in a bit more light so your image comes out crisper. The contrast is the autofocus is a tad buggy, however because you cannot zoom in or out it is a fixed length so you will want to make sure you are having a good distance between you and the object or person you are shooting. very happy with it :) Great for the price!

Always loved the nifty 50, very satisfied product has never disappointed!

This is a little wonder! Great quality, silent operation and vivid pictures. I had the previous 50 mm lens f/1.8 but was very noisy and slow to focus. This has a significantly faster auto focus and its so smooth when focusing! I can't describe how happy I am with this lens. It definitely has a very high quality/cost ratio. I would definitely recommend this product for everyone as their default 50 mm lens. Also, recommend a protective UV lens filter. Very minimal additional cost but will help protect the lens. Also very happy with my purchase through Best Buy...

They weren't joking that this is sort of a necessary lens to have in your compliment. My granddaughter requested I take her high school graduation photos based on her prom photos that I took for her. I wasn't satisfied with my current lens for the portrait and was looking for a good lens that was also fast enough. This lens is perfect and an economical solution!.

This is an absolutely fantastic lens. I bought it as a gift for my 11-year-old daughter who is just got super into photography and sports photography and she absolutely loves it. It’s doing a great job and helping her out immensely. The price point is fantastic also. I would not hesitate to buy this lens.

Works well, I expewcted it to be noisy based on other reviews but was nearly silent when I used it. It focus searches a little when attached to extension tubes (copying old negatives), but it gets there. A sharp lens.

This is a fantastic lens! Easy to use, gives great bokeh, and the price can't be beat. Everyone should have this lens in their collection.

Great camera for portrait pictures. Paired with my dslr i love they quality it gave my old camera. Great price to!

Love this lens! Bought it for my friends wedding. Amateur photographer and heard a lot of good things about this lens and for the price, it really is a steal. Must have lens.

Yeah $125 doesn’t sound cheap but, lens are more that $400, and this lens is the best for portraits, good quality, small, lightweight, tbh, it’s amazing overall.

Best lens with great aperture light settings. The photos comes very sharp and perfect. At this price this is the best lens for personal and professional use.

This is, without a doubt, the single best lens you can buy for under $150. It captures images so crisp and clear, and the focusing is really really fast and accurate. I would suggest this as a first lens if you are buying a camera body without a kit lens. Being 50mm, the bokeh on this lens is so beautiful and soft, it makes your subjects stand out perfectly.
