    I really enjoyed starting out with this lens I have the canon eos r because I was familiar with cameras already and decided to get a full frame camera I do plan on getting l series’s lenses but for beginners this 50mm 1.8 is great.

    Got this for my wife for Christmas to complete her Camera bundle from last year. This is great for use with the camera’s video feature.

    So I was taking pictures with the kit lenses that came with the camera. I noticed that I was not getting the sharp images that I wanted. I bought this lens and it changed my photography skills. I’m still a beginner but getting better shots with this lens.

    I was looking for a fast lens to use indoor and in low lighting conditions. This one filled the bill for me, offering brilliant images without a lot of cost.

    I am new to photography. I was told this is the lense to use to make sure that you are able to take close-up pictures without issue.

    The Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM Standard Lens is a good lens for closer up pictures. It's good for beginners, especially who want to try different things.

    I have wanted this lens for several years but the price remained the same, for years, from everywhere, to the penny. I was checking a Best Buy sale e-mail and found it cheaper and decided "today's the day".

    I am not an expert on cameras. This is my first attempt on this type of camera. I bought this lens to take sharp close ups and this lens does a great job on these type of pictures.

    I love this lens!!!! I love the sharpness it gives the subject as well as blurring the background to give more of a depth. I'm very happy with my purchase!

    My son has really gotten into photography and requested the purchase of this lens. He really loves how it makes your subject stand out against more of a "blurry" background due to the fixed focal length. I've used it myself a few times and it does a great job for what it's intended to do.

    Awesome lens. Works perfectly well on my Canon APSC Camera. The only issue I am facing is, this lens is made for Full frame sensor and when I use it on my APSC sensor, this lens turns into a 80mm lens.

    If you only have the kit lenses that came with your camera you need to get one of these. Good results for day and astrophotograpy.
