Customer Ratings & Reviews

I'm a beginner photographer, using a Cannon Rebel T7i. I wanted to up my game with depth of field. This lens is amazing for portrait & up close pictures. It's so affordable & the quality turns out great. Would definitely recommend if you're looking for an affordable, easy to use lens to up your photo game.

Great for portraits and at such a low price. Def recommend everyone have this lens in their bag!

Great quality glass for an affordable price tag. Perfect for portraits

I LOVE using my 'nifty fifty' it's so much more lightweight than my other lens and the picture quality is great.

Perfect prime lens to have on the go. Takes sharp photos and is very light making the camera more comfortable to hold.

Exactly what my wife needed. Love taking bunch of pictures now

If you are a Canon DSLR shooter this nifty fifty is a automatic must have lens. For the price and f/1.8 for wonderful bokeh. You really can't go wrong with this lens

Fantastic lense. I was a little nervous at first that it wouldn't fit my camera, because of how old it is, but it did perfectly. The photos come out beautifully. I bought it to take engagement photos. Definitely a great option if you're looking for a portrait lense.

Amazing lens have been using it for my close up shots and videos aswell. Performs good for the price

Great lense! Its the one I keep on all the time now.

Don't let the price fool you. This lens is great for beginners and pro's alike. It's super affordable. I have it as a back up to my 50mm 1.4 Lens.

This lens is perfect for portraits and shots where you want a blurred background. I'm a beginner, but with this lens on my t6i I get great photos very easily.

I was debating between this and the EF 40mm. I finally decided on this as it is a f/1.8 and the 40mm was f/2.8. I am very happy with my choice. The f/1.8 does make a big difference especially with the portraits. Its a good lens for video too as it is STM. Only one thing about shooting video on the 50mm is that your range is locked to 50mm only, no zoom. So keep in mind if you are buying this lens for video.

This lense was the perfect in between lens for portrait photography It worked perfectly The pictures came out crisp and clear and the price was excellent.

New to photography and it is difficult. This lens has taken my best pictures, and is my go-to for indoor pictures of the babies. You really have to do your research before you spend the money on a lens- I've got 3 already, and am still trying to figure out how to get great shots. Do yourself a favor and learn the camera first, then start buying lenses when you can't get what you need from the lens you start off with. I've already spent as much on lenses as I did the camera, and I can't return any of it without taking a loss for restocking.

The 50mm 1.8 is hands down the best value lens available for Canon EOS. The lens quality and sharpness are excellent for the price point, build quality is durable.

from beginners to advanced photographers, the nifty fifty is a must have lens. Whether you shoot on APSc or full frame, the 50mm 1.8 is an unbeatable tool. Very small and lightweight, doesn't take up any room in your kit bag, and doesn't add any extra weight or bulk either. Pictures look great straight from 1.8 and only get better when stopped down. Probably not the greatest lens to have on something like a 5dsR, but then again, someone with that camera probably isn't looking at this lens

A must hace for starters and beginners. Great quality at an affordable price, it is a life changer.

This lens is AMAZING so glad I purchased this. It is so easy to use and gives great bokeh to your shots even in auto settings. Fits perfectly on my rebel t5i

This lens is definitely a lense to try out. It really gives you a better feel for aperture. Practice makes perfect, i would definitely recommend this lens to have in your collection !
