Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is a great lens for street photography and portraits and indoors. I bought this to take it to Europe and got some very nice shots! The images are very crisp and sharp. The colors pop up very well too. Great lens for this price

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

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

I still use my Canon T3i (EOS 600D) and wanted to do some portaits for a friends prom. This lens (while not a prime lens) works fantastic. Price to quality of this lens can't be beat. Highly recommended for someone on a budget.

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

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.

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

I have used this lens for multiple indoor sporting events (Basketball and Track) and it works great. However, it is meant more for portraiture rather than sports, as the servo auto focus is a little slow. Great value nonetheless. Highly recommend for anyone just getting into photography looking for a cheap, fast lens.

I love this lens, I wish I got it sooner! Excellent quality and very light!

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

Works great for my camera, will definitely get more lenses

Very good lens for this price. The sweet spot is around f/4-5.6. With f.8 don't expect it to be super sharp, but pretty decent. This is a Full Frame lens, but can be used with APS-C cameras accepting full frame lenses, although it will become 80mm lens because of the 1.6 crop factor.

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

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.

Excellent lens good for every day use and also at a reasonable price

I love it this lense, because is cheap and has a big functionality for my camera

An excellent and versatile lens ideal for advanced depth of field control and also for low light photography. I love its optical performance. For this price, there is really nothing to complain about.

Overall a great lens for portraits. Love the low F-stop!

Great lens for up close or family portraits. Definitely a great starter lens

This lens has worked wonders for me starting out doing photography. Great lens for beginners or just someone wanting to shoot with no limitations or expectations
