Customer Ratings & Reviews

This compact and lightweight lens delivers excellent image quality with smooth bokeh while at the same time being very inexpensive. Unfortunately, despite the nice metal mount, the overall feel of the lens is somewhat disappointing. This is mainly due to noise produced when focusing. Although the motor of the EF 50mm f/1.8 STM is quieter than the previous model, it is still noisy compared to all other Canon STM lenses which are practically completely silent when focusing.

Awesome, very helpful and great to use on close shoots like car shows and groups of people

The nifty fifty is a classic lens. This STM version is even better. Add it to a used camera such as a Canon 5D Mark II and you have the perfect starter Camera kit.

I got this lens to replace the 50mm f1.8 II. The autofocus system is much quieter and much more precise. It's built quality is also much improved. Love that it has a metal mount again. I don't see much of a difference in image sharpness than the II but the build quality difference made it a worth while upgrade for me. Best lens you can buy for $125

Excellent small lens for short distance. The picture quality is impressive.

This is overall a good cheap prime lens for beginners.

It's a really nice lens very sharp it's quickly became my favorite

This is the perfect lens to transition to after purchasing a dslr camera. The stock lens that come with Canon cameras usually don't cut it. But having this 50mm f/1.8stm lens will open up a whole new world of possibilities and really help you see the potential of what a DSLR camera truly can capture.

Excellent product and it comes in handy for candid variations and style Got in a very good deal

Very good lens, definitely recommend this one. My go to for a lot of shoots. Gives good blur in the background. Everyone should have this in their camera bag

works as expected! Love this lens with the M50 what a great combination!

Shoots excellent photos for a cheap price highly recommend

If you don't have a prime lens, you need to buy one. This one's affordable and takes great looking photos and video. The low F stop is what you need for those allusive low-light photos and the prime lens is one of the best ways to get that.

This has become my favorite lens! Love the crisp images it produces & that bokeh!

Everyone's favorite! All of my photography friends love this lens and so do I! It produces great photos with a nice blurred background. The price is affordable and you'll definitely use it a lot. Love it!

Prime lenses force you to move to get the shot. They sort of force you to be a better photographer. Also this lens rocks for the price. Sometimes you get much more than what you pay for.

I am obsessed with this lens it is great for portraits and good for creative blurred background which I love!

I love this product and I will buy one again. Buy one please

The lens is sharp creates great bokeh preforms well in low light situations due to its f1.8 aperture. use it with my canon rebel sl1 pictures look good. buy it you wont regret it.

Great and affordable lens. Gives great images. Good for start.
