Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Canon 50mm STM is a must have lens for anyone who needs to shoot in low light or simply wants a sharp, lightweight lens than be used for portraits or general purpose short telephoto work if shooting with an aps-c crop format camera such as any of the Rebels. Highly recommended.

Great 50mm lens in budget. Work great and I recommend it

This lens is beyond necessary. Don’t get me wrong, I love the lenses that the camera came with, however, they were a little too big for every day use. This lens is exactly what I was looking for and can’t wait to take it on my next hike!

Sharpness, it's all about it. But don't go up to the max aperture if you want more sharpness. Great lens for carrying around during travel. Best for portraits and street photography. Not able to zoom is a drawback, but you have the best quality image.

So much bang for your buck, This is a great versatile lens, I use it for just about everything. It's a nice solid lens. It's excellent for low light situations where you don't want to use a flash. Heads up, if you have a cropped sensor this becomes an approximately 80mm lens.

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.

This lens stays on my camera. I've used it for everything from weddings to family portraits. Get this lens!

Very please with the it use it every day it is an everyday use best pictures

I heard many great reviews from other photographers ....But I was kind of worried having a cropped sensor camera ,how I'd like it . Having a cropped sensor makes this lens closer to a 75mm. But I'm loving this lens and the 1.8 aperture!!

The staff at Best Buy helped me pick the best lens for portrait wedding and graduation pictures, and this was IT! It literally made me fall back in love with my camera since I had no idea these beautiful pictures were even possible. It’s a must have.

If you love photography this is one for you. Making portraits photo is good.

Got for my wife’s photography business she started. She loves the quality and durability the lens provides!

Before I bought this lens I did a lot of research and it definitely paid off. I found exactly what I was looking for in the price range I was wanting to spend. The bokeh effects are really nice when shooting portraits and the autofocus is pretty fast. I'm very pleased with this purchase.

Prime lens is really good for capturing candid pics

This lens is fast and pictures are sharp! It is built solid and should be in every camera bag. I have not truly tested video on it but Im sure it will do great. It gets good lighting and honestly its just a fun lens to use for candid shots! For the Price, why even ask just get it!

Omg!! This helped make my picture’s way more gorgeous! It really made a difference in my portrait photos! And such a wonderful price point!

I like this camera a lot! I’ve used it for a few years. I liked it for a beginner camera. It was easy to figure out how to use!
