Perfect for the canon t3i camera. Amazing depth of field. And the auto focus is not that loud.

This is a great first lens for beginning photographers. It's very affordable, fast and offers great quality for the price. If you are an intermediate photographer, I recommend going with the 1.4 because the difference in colors, distortion, and boca will be worth the price jump. This shouldn't deteer beginners because adjustments can be made in post and it is so, so much sharper and better than any kit lens.

Using the Best Buy app, I purchased this for my little cousin. I saw it was available at my nearest store and was able to pick it up in the hour. Easy in and easy out. Her mom had also bought the Canon camera from Best Buy. Showing a big interest into her photography, I wanted to help encourage her pursuits. Now I get sent great photos of family, friends, and everything else.

I bought this as an extra lens to go with my new camera. I'm so glad I spent the extra money for it because it produces the type of pictures I wanted to capture of our new baby. It automatically zooms in when the lens is attached so you have to be further away from the object you're taking the picture of, but that's usually not a problem. Also, it takes a while to adjust to the focus settings. It will focus on whatever is closest instead of a face, but I'm sure after playing around a little more I will have greater control over it.

You can’t beat it for the price. It works well and it’s definitely worth picking up one

This lens was well spent! Did a lot of research into this len and this is my go to lens and it’s good for beginners!

Excellent for near pictures and the price is good and easy to used

Great all purpose, easy to use lens....especially if you like that 'blurred-background' look to your pictures. Great for portraits.

Love this lens. It never leaves my camera. This 1.8 EF lens is well worth the money

I've shot professional photography for about a year now. When I needed a backup lens (but didn't want to spend the money), I went ahead a picked this up. At first, I was going to write a review on this lens. To my surprise, the lens provided sharp images...but it was slow to focus and extremely loud!!!

Sharp photos, great focus and decent lighting this makes a perfect lens to blur your background and get a vibrant photo.

This new version of the 50mm standard lens hits most of the sweet spots with its compact design, improved build quality, excellent image quality, improved auto focus, and great bokeh. It does am amazing job at capturing bright images in low light locations. You may see some darkening of the corners at full frame such as when using 5D Mark III but equalize by F2.8. But optimal sharpness is at F5.6. Canon got it right with this release. It's great for portraits, indoor sports, travel, street photography, and stage.

No one doesn’t like a 50 mm lens, it gives you the depth you want, crisp and focused images.

This is a great lens to add to my camera bag. It is great for portraits. It works well and you can't beat the price.

Great photo quality. This lens fits on the rebel t5i.

For the price you pay, this lens is great! Great for blurring out the Backroom and focusing on your subject in the foreground!

This lens provides a great shallow depth of field for those shots that requre background blur, at a great price!

i literally never take this lens off of my camera.. it does take a while to focus :( but the depth of field is amazing!!

Great prime lens. Affordable price. Sharp picture. Lightweight. Easy to carry. Nice for portraits for sure with that bokeh :)

Wow. I think this lens is a must have for any photography enthusiast who may want to go beyond the basic lens kit usually found in DSLR cameras. I am an amateur photographer and take pictures mainly of my family and I can only tell you that this lens is amazing. It's easy to use and you'll notice right away that you want to bring this lens everywhere.
