Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought this, I had no problems, definitely recommend.

This lens is a priority lens that I always keep in my bag. I use it for some indoor action shots due to its 1.4 f stop. I use it for all of my photo sessions. I use it for concert photography. I can always count on it to produce great quality work. I use it on my canon rebel t7i.

My old 50mm 1.8 died. The focus ring and all. Won a 50mm 1.4 and almost talked myself out of replacing the 1.8. So glad that I didn't. This lens may be small but it's mighty. It's DEFINITELY one to have in your bag for great images.

I'm new to this and the blur feature takes out the guess work..plus it takes a regular photo also. Great little lens!! I am having fun playing with it and learning more about it everyday..it is always with me

The larger aperture of the lens allows the user to take pictures with a shallow depth of field without sacrificing the quick shutter speed. This can be used in fairly lower lighting areas and still get sharp pictures without the blurr from a slow shutter speed. Definitely recommend!

Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM standard lens has fixed focus. This was major reason, why I bought this lens with intention to use it for astrophotography. So far it works as I expected, pictures are pretty good.

Great all around lens for sharp pictures. Very compact and easy to stowaway in just about any camera bag. This lens should cost more than it does and because it is so cheap it is a must have in any camera bag

Despite many reviews calling this lens cheap due to its mainly plastic build, it really does hold up to Canon's quality. The base plate is metal and the construction tight. The stepping motor gives a quick focus and the lens renders an overall nice image. Worth every penny.

It’s compact and easy to use. Great for portrait photography!

Great addition to my photography bag amazing depth of field and fast focus ability.

I am a beginner in the DSRL world, but after watching a few videos in YouTube I decided to buy this lense, and do not regret it. It gives a very nicely effect for blurry backgrounds (don’t know the right terminology), and also it forces me to move to get the right spot to get everything in frame.

Its a must buy lens and works perfectly for close up shots. This lens delivers very sharp images inexpensively. Its very fast, small and lightweight. I bought it with my best buy credit card and got an extra discount and points on it. This prime lens does what your default camera lens can't. Happy Clicking!

Purchased this lens to take high school senior graduation pictures. Was excellent for portrait mode. The lighting and details were amazing. Was just what I was looking for as an amateur photographer.

Really upped my photography game! Great price, too!

Absolute bang for the buck lens. Really good image quality for the price. Amazing for astrophotography.

Very top tier, especially for the price that it’s set for! I use this lens more than my more expensive ones!

Bought this for my daughter since she love to take photo and she loves it. Prior to buying this I did a lot of research and this is the best buy for the buck from upgrading from the kit lens. You can't go wrong with this lens.

I'm new to photography and this is the first non-kit lens that I bought. I did read several reviews first, so I know it's not top of line, but it's a really great value for the money. It is worth every penny, and now I use it all the time. I love it--it really will take your photos up a notch.

This is the first new lense I've purchased outside of the kit lens that came with my T3i. I have to say, this lense made my pictures come out looking like I was a professional and really did way more than I could've expected. I bought it mainly to take portraits of my family and quickly realized it's very versatile! Best Buy price matches and no matter how small the price match, they are willing to help. Definitely go buy this lense! It's worth every penny and honestly probably double.

I had shopped for the "nifty fifty" at several online and store front locations. Walking in to Best Buy and carrying the lens out so I could use it immediately, and not having to wait on delivery, was what I needed. Screw it on the camera body, focus, and push the shutter button is what its about!
