    Necessity For Portraits

    Sooo good for headshots. Expect to be angled in awkward positions to get the right distance at times as you can't control the zoom and it gets pretty close up - that's just how 50mm's are. But it's worth, my photos look so professional.

    I have read lots of reviews before buying this product. This is the latest version of nifty-fifty from canon. The build, stability and quality is awesome. Especially it has 7 shutter when compared to 5 in earlier version and additional it is STM and great for Video as well (If camera supports). The noise is really really low. Bokeh affect at f1/8 - f2 is awesome. Great sense for portraits

    This lens is great bang for your buck. It is a great starter lens and will take awesome pictures. The build quality is decent but mostly plastic. I thought the focusing would be quieter but it is kind of noisy. However there is not much bad to say about this lens. If you want a cheap prime lens to start out with and maybe use for portraits or low light photography it is an awesome lens.

    Love it! Wish the autofocus was faster, but it does the job and at a great price. Best Buy always comes in clutch having these items in stock.

    I bought this lens for taking photos of my kids and glad I did. The photos are a lot cleaner and the subject stands out from the background as there's the right amount of background blur.

    As a beginner photographer, I was told to get a prime lens because it would help with image composition. And I couldn’t be happier with that advice. I love the images I’ve captured with this lens in the few weeks I’ve had it. The price was fantastic, too. I thought it was going to be so much more expensive than it was.

    Perfect! Clear images and responsive AF. Gets a low enough f/stop to create exceptional portraits. It’s a prime lens so you are forced to move your body to get the right frame. Love it
