    Great starter lens.! A must have if you are interested in a new hobby. Its significantly cheaper than its sister lens (50mm 1.4 and 50mm 1.2) but gets the job done !

    This lens is great for portrait pictures and maybe landscape. It is not a zoom lens so you got to move around a lot to get your shot. Overall, its good to have around

    This lens is great for shots in lower light, allowing for better depth of field as well. The only drawback is the noise and speed of focusing.

    The lens is nice and takes good pictures however it needs calibration and return window is over. So I am keeping it.

    If your looking for a good lens and not spend a lot you can’t go wrong. I get great pictures out of it and couldn’t be more satisfied with my purchase.

    I bought this camera for my daughters birthday party. The construction is solid and it is one of my favorite lenses. By no means am I a professional photographer, but that being said this lens rocks. For $125 dollars it takes beautiful photos but it's a little slow to autofocus. Worth every penny.

    It's a nifty fifty lens. It took me way too long to buy one, and I wasn't disappointed. It doesn't feel cheap and it takes decent pictures for the price you pay.

    Bought this as a gift for my wife who is just getting into photography. This lens softens and/or blurs the background around the focused object. Works great

    After using an off-brand 50mm, 1.8 then splurging on Canon glass, I'll never go back. Canon glass is on a totally different level and SO worth the extra pennies spent to know I have the best quality glass on my camera.

    This is a great lens and takes some getting used to. Very sharp, fast and works well in low light. Auto focus is tricky so will have to keep practicing.
