Customer Ratings & Reviews

You can’t go wrong with this lens. I call it the nifty fifty because it’s small and easy to use. Makes great photos! Everyone doing photography needs this lens. It’s great!

this lens helped a lot more than i thought it would, 10/10 would recommend!

Best budget canon lenes to buy to start out. Sharp enough to get you out ther shooting.

I bought this as a gift for my partner who is trying to do food photography for her blog. The photos come out really great and show detail well. 100% would recommend

You can never go wrong buying a 50mm prime lens as it is a must-have lens in your arsenal. This is really affordable and bought it for a friend. He claims that it is exceptional.

I took this to a convention and got some really good photos out of it. On an 80d though, this lens is really a bit over 70mm? Anyway, the point of my comment is that you will need space when taking full person shots. So hallway cons suck. Other than that it's great

I am new at photography, well, learning how to take great photos. In all the photography books that I have read so far, this was the recommended lens for beginners. So far, I love it. I'm sure I will love it further when I understand camera functions and shot selections better.

The Canon product is excellent. The BB team knowledgeably advised and helped determine the correct lens for our needs. They let us try out the demo version and when the store we were in did not have stock, they found a nearby BB that had it in stock, helped us make the sale, and reserved it for us to pick up at the other store. This process also included a return which the friendly staff made a very easy and reasonable process for us to do. Great in-store experience. One criticism is that the BB computer system is overall slow to implement a purchase at one store and a pick-up at another. A 'wait period' of at least an hour was recommended by the staff due to a 'slow system'. Given everything else was real-time, including finding and putting on hold the product in stock at the nearest store, it seems reasonable to expect that there should be in-company computer communication that is commensurate with comparative network inventory systems.

I can't give a proper review without reply using this lens. I must admit I wonder if I should have gone with the 1.4 vs the 1.8 but that was always going to be the case. I think getting a hood will make a huge difference so I am in search for that now as I start to utilize more. The lens does seem more study then the original 50 but I know everyone loves the non stm 50. So far it's a great lens! I'm not a professional photographer so it should be enough as a hope to get better. I would give this 5 stars if I had a better handle on this lens I'm sure, but put for just in case.

Love this lens!! Was looking at one for a lot more but saw reviews on this one and decided I could spare $125 to try it out! This is my new favorite lens! If you’re thinking about it get it!

I used this on a recent photo shoot, works absolutely perfect! No problems at all with it

Bought this " Nifty Fifty" mm lens for my Canon Rebel T7 at the suggestion of my photography mentor. Great for taking portraits and head shots.

Good ‘ole nifty-fifty. Amazing lens for portrait photographs, my personal favorite. I purchased it several months ago… No complaints thus far.

this lens is the best buy I ever made for my camera. It makes it so easy to give your pictures that look of a high paying professional. I used it to take my nephew's second birthday pictures and they turned out terrific.

Handy for shooting weddings and other events. Nice addition

This lens is perfect for outdoors scenery pictures that you may want to blur out the background. You point and shoot and your subject will be crisp and clear standing out from the background. I am a beginner photographer and have had challenges in achieving this setting manually, but with this lens just pop it on and set your F-stop to the lowest number and boom...your picture looks like a pro took it.

This lender excels in the portrait world. Simple to use with straight forward operation, this lense is a nice addition to anyone's quiver.

Solid, quality lens for a good value. I noticed a difference immediately in the quality of my pictures. This will become one of your “go-to” lenses.

Great addition to my camera bag. Great quality lens resulting in sharp portraits. Nice creamy background helps the subject stand out. I would recommend it.

Very top tier, especially for the price that it’s set for! I use this lens more than my more expensive ones!
