Customer Ratings & Reviews

Although I’m still learning how to use my camera, this lens is a nice, sturdy basic lens that seems to have a decent field of vision.

This lens is a great addition to my already Canon EF 70 - 300 IS USM Telephoto lens. It's a wonderful lens for those real close-ups that you have been wanting to take. Great lens for an outdoorsman who wants to get in-touch with the outdoors!

Paired this lens with my EOS Mark II the quality isnt as sharp but still takes great shots considering the price.

this is a great lens for the money. if you don't have the cash for a L series lens ,this is the one to buy

a necessary accessory to improve the performance of my camera purchased at Best Buy

It was great best investment yet that I made the picture was very clear and delivered what I wanted

Excellent entry-level lens. Have gotten some awesome photos with it! Highly recommend.

Great lens. Works great with my camera which is an older model.

Definitely stepped up the game as far as portraits go! I love it! A great purchase.

Took the trip of a lifetime! The "Royal Culinary Tour of London" This lens allows you to get up close to the food items...it's great!

This lens is superb. It captures great detail and is perfect for photographing portraiture and macro shots.

This camera and lens are great for beginners and intermediate. Takes very good pics.

Used for my CanonT7 -video Recording and Protrait PHoto shoots . ! Works So Great

This lens is great for taking photos for social media like Instagram, ect

Though the AF is a little slow, it does the work perfectly for a prime lens. Nice shutter which captures more light than the usual 18-55. Perfect for home use and well lit photography.

If you’re looking for a good overall everyday lens without breaking the bank, this is it. Absolutely love mine. I do a lot of automotive photography as well as portrait and landscape and this is my go to lens for all different applications. Now, for better landscape I’d recommend maybe checking out a 35mm to get more wide angle but this is a great overall lens.

This is a must have in your bag of lens great head shots and video clips recording and YouTube blogging love it

So far so good. Took clear close up pictures. Good for Macro

just bought the canon SL2 and decided to buy this lens as well based on the reviews here. When I first put the lens on I immediately decided I was going to return it as everything seemed zoomed in. To get a good picture you have to stand back a bit to catch the entire body of the subject. However I decided to give it a try later on in the day and boy was I blown away!!!! The quality of the pictures and the bokeh effect are AMAZING. So glad I didn’t return it. Takes some getting used to if your accustomed to zoom lenses and capturing wider shots. But the purpose of this lens are for up close portrait shots and this thing exceeds my expectations. Video: no good. Focus is too slow so don’t expect much for video.

So you're buying your first lens outside of the standard kit lens? This 50mm needs to be it. It will help you to become a better photographer, you're forced to move around and you will notice how much deeper the colors are and the more bokeh you can get. It's a steal and it needs to be in your collection. Just remember to use different lenses for different occasions, if you're into landscapes, this lens won't do the job but tight images and portraits, its gonna be your go to.
