    Our camera came with a telephoto lens, so we wanted a fixed length OEM lens. It was available in store on a discount.

    Got this lens when I purchased the Rebel T7. This is such an inexpensive lens compared to other lenses and a good quality! I only take photos of my family and friends, so this works perfectly for me.

    I needed something in a pinch when my 18-55mm finally died. While I was used to the focus length of the other, this did take some getting used to not being able to focus in the range that I wanted. But, that being said, I'm not at all disappointed in this lens. I fully plan to purchase a new 18-55 and this will still remain in my arsenal.

    This is a lens that everyone needs in their camera bag, beginner or not. I've had both the stm and the non stm version, and this one (stm) improves on the original. The autofocus seems to be a bit snappier and the image quality seems slightly better. It looks great on a 6D. You can't go wrong with a 50mm on a cropped or full frame sensor.

    I like it for the aperture, I can get close with a real short depth of field for those nice blurry backgrounds.

    Bought this lens specifically for low light / night time photography. The 1.8 aperture makes all the difference. Definitely recommend this lens.

    Great Lens for Indoor Shooting

    I have used this lens for multiple indoor sporting events (Basketball and Track) and it works great. However, it is meant more for portraiture rather than sports, as the servo auto focus is a little slow. Great value nonetheless. Highly recommend for anyone just getting into photography looking for a cheap, fast lens.

    This is a great lens for street photography and portraits and indoors. I bought this to take it to Europe and got some very nice shots! The images are very crisp and sharp. The colors pop up very well too. Great lens for this price
