Customer Ratings & Reviews

Very good lens, especially for those on a budget. Large aperiture allows for solid low light performance and lots of great bokeh.

One of my favorites! Takes a great picture and is a great lens for a beginner.

I was looking for an affordable new lens for my Canon 70D to take higher quality portraits and after reviewing a wide variety of photography forums and Best Buy/Amazon reviews I purchased the EF 50mm. I am definitely more of a dedicated hobbyist than a pro shooter, but I've been thrilled with the performance of this lens so far and impressed with the photo quality and functionality overall! Recommend!

Great lens! This is my first 50 mm lens and I absolutely love it! It takes beautiful pictures! I love the quality of Canon lenses overall. They really beef up my 850D.

Very pleased with this lense. It is very affordable and takes great pictures. I use it to take action shots and the I mages are crisp and bright, even when the sun starts going down!

Awesome portrait lens. I love shooting with this 50mm. Cheap but mighty.

This is a huge upgrade from the previous nifty-fifty! The STM motor is fantastic for cameras with dual pixel AF (Canon 80D, 6DMarkii, etc.). All though this is not a macro lens, it is remarkably close and that’s why it’s always in my bag for shooting weddings. I get great macro-like shots with this lens for an unbeatbable price. Best of all it’s light, fast, sharp and cheap!

Amazing prime lens for its price. Sharp, easy to carry, excellent lens quality.

I bought this lens for my Canon Rebel XTi 400D because the lens that I got with it just wasn’t cutting it. It is has been amazing! Great price and great quality!

This lens is magnificent. It captures amazing quality images and I know this will be the main lens that stays on my camera.

I was looking to expand on my photography, and had learned in a class that this is the best "starter" lens! I'm absolutely in love with the photos this lens allows me to capture, but if you are looking at lenses, keep in mind that this lens does not have the option to zoom in and out. Very happy with this purchase!!

My daughter has turned her photography hobby into a career and absolutely loves this lens. She has used it for both concert photography and portrait sessions. The price is just right and has been a perfect complement to our lens collection.

This lense is so awesome! Blurs the background and target image is super sharp. Love it!

Perfect for portraits! I’m just learning about lenses. And this one is awesome. Perfect portrait shots.

This Canon Lens is one of the best and the price is really good! Excellent product!

Love my new prime lens! Easy to use and the photos have fantastic!

Exactly what I was looking for. Our camera originally came with a defective lense that wouldn’t work with auto focus. This lense was perfect for basic easy use of our camera

We have the Canon EOS R and this worked perfect with the control ring adapter. Easy to handle and solid performer for the shots taken. Price was extremely reasonable.

If you are looking to take photos of one subject and you want that nice boca or vackground blur. This nifty fifty is a great find

This lens was highly recommended by others as an entry-level lens to play around with and I am very happy I decided to get it. I am using it on a Canon 60D and the quality of the images are significantly different from the kit lens that came with the camera. It is a fixed lens, so that took some getting used to, but overall, the lens is amazing and a great deal at its low price.
