Very good and sturdy lens for taking upclose and/or portrait shots

This is a really good lense for getting the much desired bokeh in a portrait. It's a great lense to have. It is mostly plastic but the mount is metal.

I love this lens....especially for the price. It's a f/1.8 so it's great in lo light and offers great depth of field.

This lense is amazing for that money. The image quality is crisp. Thats a while to get use to it but once you learn how to use it you cant go back to the stock lens.

Bought this for my Canon T7 I recently purchased and the quality is amazing. Game changer

This is a great basic lens to have. It works very well. I am very pleased with how my photos taken with this lens turn out. This lens even works pretty well in dim lighting.

This lens should be in anyone's camera bag. It's a great light weight travel friendly lens

Always a great experience shopping at Best Buy. The lens is fantastic and just what I needed for my camera. Great for adding background blurry while shooting pictures.

Being a nifty fifty, this lens is a basic requirement for almost every photographer. Much better than the previous f1.8. This new version is very quiet and much more smooth.

A nice normal lens that doesn't break the bank. Being an STM lens it is a great improvement over a plain USM lens for video.Like to see more of these lenses in the future.

One of the best bang for the buck lenses in my bag. Great bokeh, wonderful video tracking, etc.

This v2 of the famous nifty-fifty. Is a really and sharp lens considering the price. You can't go wrong with this. It will make nice bookeh and is great lens for portrait.

Overall great lens for beginners-experts. Very useful.

I have owned 3 of these lenses. They provide good image quality and are inexpensive. The only real downside is that they are rather fragile as they are made of plastic housing. I have broken two previously (the only camera lenses I have ever broken). One broke after being dropped only a few inches.

I’ve purchased many lenses and Canon does a great job with the quality and mechanical usage of these.

I purchased this lens because it did not come in my kit. It is perfect for portraits and the photos have the sharpness, even in auto-focus mode.

I bought this lens because I wanted something that'd create a nice bokeh for portraits and the price was perfect. I did have to return it because my camera has and crop sensor and made it to a bit harder to use indoors. I had to keep stepping back and sometimes, there wasn't room to step back. But for outdoor photos where I had lots of room, it worked great.

Dont buy the asian knock off! Purchase this Canon lense instead! Blury background photographs that look like they were taken by a professional.

This lens is perfect for all my needs. The mechanics work seamlessly and quietly. It squeaked a little bit when focusing at first but now it's soundless. Perfect.

I love this lens! It's perfect for portraits and full body pictures. It creates a nice bokeh effect! definitely a must for a beginner, and anyone that loves photography.
