Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great addition to my photography bag amazing depth of field and fast focus ability.

I love this lens! I have been able to get great shots in low light. I love having more options of depth of field too. It does everything I wanted when I purchased it!

Got this lens to use for portrait type pictures and was not disappointed! Love the low fstop settings for a nice blur to the background. Have had a blast experimenting with it. It has been a great addition to my equipment wish I would have bought it sooner!

This is my all time favorite lens for really capturing subjects sharply, and blurring the background just the right amount!! It’s great for portraits, family shoots, animals, food etc.! Love 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!

upon the purchase of my first canon dslr, it was recommended to buy this lens in addition to the package lens with camera. I AGREE, it is perfect for portrait photos!

This lens is an outstanding addition to my collection. I shoot a lot of pictures in low light gymnastics venues with not flash. This lense allows me to work in tighter spaces than my 70-200 f 2.8 does without loss of quality. Definitely money well spent.

I was recommended this lens and the 24MM 2.8 by a photographer, and the quality of my novice photos has improved drastically. Canon should include these lenses in their kits and leave the zoom lenses for add on purchases later.

This lens makes using the Canon cameras so much more enjoyable than the standard Kit Lens most of them come with. It's not multi-purpose like the kit lens is, but this should be an automatic inclusion when you buy your camera. It's THAT good.

I absolutely love the 50mm lens. I use it for weddings and I love the quality of the photos.

Great value prime, with excellent brokeh at 1.8 though it really starts to clear up by 2.2 and fantastic sharpness at 2.8. Though my only complaint is unless your on a full frame 50 mm can be a little tight for my only prime and wish I had gone with a wider lens

This is my first prime lens. I use it only cropped sensor camera, so 50mm is is more like a 75mm. But the pictures are crisp and beautiful, also great in low light.

Great product! Quality was excellent! Love the metal ef mount and the overall smoothness of the focus ring!

Its really such a great lens. As a beginner its been so nice.

I got this lens because I hear so much about it. I put it on my eos 70D and it really shoots a clear picture. I shoot alot of urban and landscapes. I think it's going to do the job well. I was amazed at the picture quality just shooting around the house.

I have only used the item a hadnful of times and am excited to use it in photo shoots. This lense was termed as a must have for any photographer who shoots portrait shots; it received high recommendations. Best Buy service was very friendly and helpful.

The “nifty fifty” is really just a great do it all type of lens. I have a DSLR just for family pictures and I always get great shots of my kids with this. It’s barely left my camera since I bought it.
