Customer Ratings & Reviews

Bought as a gift for my wife. she is into photography and design and has been in love with this lens so far. Best Buy had the best price by far and once again delivered without any issues. Very happy wife means a happy husband. Would buy again with no concerns.

Works great for my camera, will definitely get more lenses

I needed a small, light lens to use with my Canon T4i while traveling abroad. The lens build quality is fine and focusing seems fast and accurate. The bokeh is excellent. Overall, this lens is a great value. Pros: Small, light, cheap. Filters (49mm) are cheap. Outstanding lens for portraits. Cons: Field of view on an APS-C camera is a little tight.

I bought this prime lens since I saw so many reviews saying it was a good prime lens to start with! I have an APS-C sensor camera so the 50mm actually shoots like if it was an 85mm. I use this lens as my primary lens now as I mainly do portrait photography and I would recommend it to anybody who wants a great prime lens for a low price!

This was my first prime lens when I wanted to step away from the kit lens, and I am very happy with it. The only thing to understand is the crop factor with APS-C sensors. So, this is more like a 80mm lens on that kind of camera.

Lens is great and very easy to use and light weight

Great quality and price. Easy to use. Highly recommend.

Quality of pictures looks CRISP! First time buying an after market lense, never thought I'd do something like that.

My bf got this lens because he wanted to take more portraits and we've gotten nothing but positive reviews. The pictures turn out perfectly in focus with beautiful fading of the background. Would recommend for everyone!!!

If you are looking for a sharp image & background blur you will love this lens. It's a great addition to my Cannon M50 and I love using it for portraits and low light. I scored this awesome lens on sale but even at the regular price it's worth getting; I love it that much.

Beautiful picture quality Did a few practice headshots and the customer loved them

I bought this lens for taking photos of my kids and glad I did. The photos are a lot cleaner and the subject stands out from the background as there's the right amount of background blur.

Love it. For the price you can’t beat this lens. I’ve had this lens for a few months now and have used it in low light with no problems. Great for portraits and landscapes.

Great lens, the "Nifty Fifty V3". Great build and even better price. If you are just starting out in photography or even video this is a must buy. The STM stands for Smooth Transition for Movie and does a nice rack focus when needed.

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

A must have in your camera bag. Versatile for alot of different shooting styles. Love this lens. Small, but packs a punch. And for the price, you won’t regret it. Recommend this one.

the ole reliable nifty fifty. one of the best entry level prime lenses, you’ll never go wrong with this

Perfect! Clear images and responsive AF. Gets a low enough f/stop to create exceptional portraits. It’s a prime lens so you are forced to move your body to get the right frame. Love it

I am in love with this lens. I have an older canon camera body and contemplated on buying a newer model, but decided to buy this lens instead. Best choice I've made. I have 3 kids and love to take pictures of them especially at school events and this lens captures the perfect moments. I love the quality of the portrait photos!

Great lens for the price. Perfect for portrait shots.
