Customer Ratings & Reviews

I am impressed with this lense! It was worth every penny. However, first consider what you want to use it for. Because it is a fixed lense, it does not zoom. You'll have to be Fred Flintstone and use your feet. The color is very rich, and the results in low light are amazing.

I'm surprised that Canon offers a fast f1.8 lens in this price range. This is my go to lens when I need to create video with a person on camera. Works beautifully with my 5d Mark II for interview videos, explainer videos, testimonials, even B-Roll shots.

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.

I am an amatuer photographer. I do family and friends pictures and other fun photo projects on the side. This is my favorite Lens to use. Pretty much my go to! Good for portrait photography. Very minimal editing needs to be done when I use this lens

A solid lens, worked perfectly for the shoot I needed it for. Photos came out looking great

This lens is phenomenal when youre learning to shoot and dont need/want the complexity of a zoom lens. It has amazing power for its size and price.

This is a great little lense for working wedding receptions and similar venues. A 50 mm is great staple to have in your kit and gives a nice shallow depth of field.

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.

For that price is good, this lens work amazing, has a lot of light and the body it´s metal. The manual focus isn't good for work fast.

I love this lens. It is a fantastic lens for portraits, street photography, and general use. It is my go-to lens because if the great optics and light weight. This is a must have for new or novice photographers. You can't beat the price for this impressive glass.

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.

Stumbled across this lens at my local Best Buy, Actually googled it while I was there to read some reviews, all positive. For the $ you can’t go wrong. Great nifty fifty, plastic fantastic! Clear, fast lens!

The lense takes photos so pretty and with the canon eos rebel t7 are so good.

This was my first prime lens, and while it may not feel like a Sigma Art lens in your hand it's astonishing for the value. Picture quality is quite nice for the money.

A inexpensive lense that is exceptional with taking quality pictures.

Great sharpness and a must have lens for your canon. I use it with the rebel t7i and the portraits are sharp.

LOVE this lense I bought for my photography business.

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.

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 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.
