Customer Ratings & Reviews

This lens is AMAZING so glad I purchased this. It is so easy to use and gives great bokeh to your shots even in auto settings. Fits perfectly on my rebel t5i

My favorite lens for portrait photography ! I highly recommend having this in your arsenal

New to photography and it is difficult. This lens has taken my best pictures, and is my go-to for indoor pictures of the babies. You really have to do your research before you spend the money on a lens- I've got 3 already, and am still trying to figure out how to get great shots. Do yourself a favor and learn the camera first, then start buying lenses when you can't get what you need from the lens you start off with. I've already spent as much on lenses as I did the camera, and I can't return any of it without taking a loss for restocking.

This is a very inexpensive way to get a f1.8 lens. I got it as part of my transition to full-frame cameras and lenses. Very small, very light, and obviously "fast." I use it mostly for video, and this is where the small and light becomes a negative. I can't get my follow focus to fit between this lens and anything. I still use it, just requires work-arounds.

I was looking for a prime lens with a wide aperture at an affordable price. This lens fits my needs. Takes great pictures with shallow depth of field that I love!

from beginners to advanced photographers, the nifty fifty is a must have lens. Whether you shoot on APSc or full frame, the 50mm 1.8 is an unbeatable tool. Very small and lightweight, doesn't take up any room in your kit bag, and doesn't add any extra weight or bulk either. Pictures look great straight from 1.8 and only get better when stopped down. Probably not the greatest lens to have on something like a 5dsR, but then again, someone with that camera probably isn't looking at this lens

Why would you need this lens: • If you only have the kit lens, this lens is going to be your best friend. • It will improve your low light (indoor) photography because of the f/1.8 aperture that gathers more light than the f/3.5-5.8 kit lens. • Any other fast prime lens will cost upwards of $300, so this is a great value for what you get. It truly is the heart and soul of budget photography. • STM motor means quiet and smooth focusing for video, which would be unusable if shot with the loud kit lens.

Great quality glass for an affordable price tag. Perfect for portraits

The affordable Nifty Fifty that produces exceptionally sharp images. I have had this lens for over a month and it has my go to other than my 18-55mm kit lens. If your a street photographer, portrait taker, landscape capturer this lens is for you. Produces sharp images at almost all focus ranges. I have found that anything past f/16 the image becomes softer. F/1.8 max aperture makes it ideal for low light photography. For the price it also produces pleasant bokeh. Buy the lens and you will be pleased. Use it in a crop sensor camera or full frame.

I Love my new Canon EF 50mm lens. It's takes great closeup shots. I love the way it blurs out the edges and focuses on the subject! Very easy to use!

A must hace for starters and beginners. Great quality at an affordable price, it is a life changer.

I was very surprised and pleased at the build quality and performance of this lens at it’s price point. So good that I sold my Canon 50 1.4.

I love this lens. Especially for a beginner like me!

This makes my photos look professional even as a beginner! Perfect amount of blur to the background and great quality photos

Good lens for the price. Easy to use and lightweight.

Love it. It was easy to install and remove and it’s good quality for beginners

For the price you couldn't ask for a better "Nifty Fifty" lens. It is quick and takes very crisp photos. Not to heavy and easy to change out.

I knew I could trust Canon to give me a good standard 50mm lens, This F/1.8 lens fit the bill and the price was competitive.

This lens takes great quality pictures. I am already loving it. It blurs the background quite nicely, the subject looks really standout.

I love this lens! It has truly changed my photography.
