Customer Ratings & Reviews

At first use I was very happy with this lens, and then thought if this was so good at such a great price, what will the next level lens offer. I had consulted with professional and amateur photographers to get their honest opinion, all agreed upon this lens. For general and specific shoots, they all agreed this lens is extremely hard to beat. I am still experimenting and enjoying this lens VERY MUCH! I haven't found any negative or things to improve upon. This lens will stay in my camera bag for that right moment.

Great lens for close up pictures. Subject is clear and background is a bit out of focus which makes the picture look great.

Good quality and value for price point. A nice addition to entry level kit T7

Really good lent, easy to use and take very good pictures

Bought as a gift for someone, but according to them it was a perfect upgrade from the standard lens that came with the camera I bought for her. Can’t speak from experience but I can say she loves it, and that’s all that matters.

great quality and great price on this lens. would recommend it to anyone looking for a 50mm

I absolutely love this lens. Very clear and easy to operate.

This is a great lens. I use it for both photography and video. On a full frame camera like the 6D, the f/1.8 aperture gives you a very nice blurry background. Crop frame sensors look great too. With a cine camera, it is a must have in your arsenal for video on a budget. The STM is smooth and very silent. Great with the DPAF and even on the old Rebel T4i, the AF is smooth and quite. Get this lens!

Is this the best lens ever created? No. Is it the best lens you can get for under $200? Probably yes. On full frame cameras, it's a nice and light standard that has the same field of view as a cellphone "telephoto". On crop bodies, it's a short tele/portrait. On either, open up to 1.8 and you'll have a real portrait mode. I suggest a hood though: it has a tendency to get veiling flare which softens more than I'd like

This is a lens that everyone needs in their camera bag, beginner or not. I've had both the stm and the non stm version, and this one (stm) improves on the original. The autofocus seems to be a bit snappier and the image quality seems slightly better. It looks great on a 6D. You can't go wrong with a 50mm on a cropped or full frame sensor.

I’m not a professional by any means but this lens is amazing at portraits for my kids. I’m so happy with this purchase

Quality is great and easy to use. I watched different YouTube videos to help me get the hang of it

This is a beast of a lens, i have a L mount camera system so i was able to get the correct adapter to make this lens work on my system, it has been great perfect for me in terms of performance and portability, this little work horse takes some super amazing photos.

super good lense. great bokeh. great overall 10/10

I like it for the aperture, I can get close with a real short depth of field for those nice blurry backgrounds.

Wife loved this as a Christmas gift. Great lens quality for a good price.

Quick focus, sharp photos, light weight. All around perfect lens for portraits.

It’s an awesome lens for everyone, easy to use, great quality and just great overall
