Customer Ratings & Reviews

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 !

Why would you need this lens: • If you only have the kit lens, this lens is going to be your best friend. • It will improve your low light (indoor) photography because of the f/1.8 aperture that gathers more light than the f/3.5-5.8 kit lens. • Any other fast prime lens will cost upwards of $300, so this is a great value for what you get. It truly is the heart and soul of budget photography. • STM motor means quiet and smooth focusing for video, which would be unusable if shot with the loud kit lens.

This is a very inexpensive way to get a f1.8 lens. I got it as part of my transition to full-frame cameras and lenses. Very small, very light, and obviously "fast." I use it mostly for video, and this is where the small and light becomes a negative. I can't get my follow focus to fit between this lens and anything. I still use it, just requires work-arounds.

Bought as a gift for someone, but according to them it was a perfect upgrade from the standard lens that came with the camera I bought for her. Can’t speak from experience but I can say she loves it, and that’s all that matters.

I was looking for a prime lens with a wide aperture at an affordable price. This lens fits my needs. Takes great pictures with shallow depth of field that I love!

Awesome Product. It was the right lens for the job. The Sales Associate was very helpful and had the answers for my many questions. I will be back for more equipment as time goes on.

Works amazing on my Canon t100 camera. Great quality shots, easy to use.

This makes my photos look professional even as a beginner! Perfect amount of blur to the background and great quality photos

Love it. It was easy to install and remove and it’s good quality for beginners

I was very surprised and pleased at the build quality and performance of this lens at it’s price point. So good that I sold my Canon 50 1.4.

The affordable Nifty Fifty that produces exceptionally sharp images. I have had this lens for over a month and it has my go to other than my 18-55mm kit lens. If your a street photographer, portrait taker, landscape capturer this lens is for you. Produces sharp images at almost all focus ranges. I have found that anything past f/16 the image becomes softer. F/1.8 max aperture makes it ideal for low light photography. For the price it also produces pleasant bokeh. Buy the lens and you will be pleased. Use it in a crop sensor camera or full frame.

Good lens, brand new definitely makes a difference

I Love my new Canon EF 50mm lens. It's takes great closeup shots. I love the way it blurs out the edges and focuses on the subject! Very easy to use!

Good lens for the price. Easy to use and lightweight.

For the price you couldn't ask for a better "Nifty Fifty" lens. It is quick and takes very crisp photos. Not to heavy and easy to change out.

I knew I could trust Canon to give me a good standard 50mm lens, This F/1.8 lens fit the bill and the price was competitive.

Highly suggest this lens! It helped me a lot with upgrading my photography

The best lens for the price Light weight Excellent quality photos

There’s no better lens for the price. Shots are comparable to my much more expensive lens except for at the extreme apertures.

This lens takes great quality pictures. I am already loving it. It blurs the background quite nicely, the subject looks really standout.
