Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have a T5 and the kit lenses were already pretty good, but this lens stepped up the game so hard. Excellent for beginner photographers like myself. The price is GREAT and this lens is worth a lot more imo. Good job Canon.

This is a great light weight general purpose lens. I use it a lot in low light conditions, mind you it is no where as good as the 50mm F1.4, but for the low price paid it is well worth the money.

Got it for my Canon 80D and this lens takes awesome pictures. not too expensive and great quality for the price. Would recommend it for anyone who wanna start his lens collection.

I was able to notice the difference between my other canon lenses. If you want a picture that will blur the background surrounding the object/person, this is the lens to get for your canon.

New to photography as of November 2017. Can't say anything more than what others have already said so I've attached a test shot I took while herding my dogs in the backyard. For the price, it's impressive. Great way to learn additional features of my Canon 80D without spending a ton of money. This lens will keep me quite busy until I'm ready for a sizeable upgrade.

This lens is the best you can get at this price, especially for portraits. I shoot with it all the time and it never fails to impress me.

great for portraits, love it. crisp clear photos and easy to use

This lens is an amazing value for the price. It takes crystal clear photos. I am so glad I added this to my photography kit. It is great for portrait photography. I highly recommend purchasing this lens.

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.

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

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.

This is overall a good cheap prime lens for beginners.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.
