Customer Ratings & Reviews

I love this lens! I have been able to get great shots in low light. I love having more options of depth of field too. It does everything I wanted when I purchased it!

This lens is a great partner for my EOS M50. Perfect for portraiture, bokeh and blurring are really good. With an aperture of 1.8 it is ideal for archieving these two effects. Excellent purchase !!-

Great lens! this Nifty Fifty really is quite Nifty. Price is thrifty. Learned to use it swiftly. Amazing dof with blurred bg and tack sharp focal point. Buy it. No regrets here!

Works great! My wife uses it as her main second camera lens for weddings.

Love it it’s one of my favorite lenses I use all the time

Doesn't matter what level of.a photographer you are... you need to have one of these. It's a good all around lens... with a wide aperture. Might be a little tight field of view on a crop sensor camera... but for a little over $100 you need to have one in your kit.

I just began my journal in photograph and I was so much skeptical whether it was going to be easy or not. It has been the most enjoyable thing I have experienced. Thanks for making this journey pretty good. Awesome product!

This is a definite must have for your bag. It is great for portrait shots! At first it feels weird because its so zoomed in, but just know this isn't meant to replace your kit lens, just something you use to make some of your photos look great!

I am impressed with this lense! It was worth every penny. However, first consider what you want to use it for. Because it is a fixed lense, it does not zoom. You'll have to be Fred Flintstone and use your feet. The color is very rich, and the results in low light are amazing.

love this lens i got in a few months ago and it’s perfect and easy to use no matter the camera

I knew exactly what I needed from this lens, when I was going to purchase it. As always, excellent product from Canon. Might sound pricey, but you pay for the quality, and I would do so any day. Must buy for short range photos.

Very please with the it use it every day it is an everyday use best pictures

If you love photography this is one for you. Making portraits photo is good.

This is my all time favorite lens for really capturing subjects sharply, and blurring the background just the right amount!! It’s great for portraits, family shoots, animals, food etc.! Love it!

I'm surprised that Canon offers a fast f1.8 lens in this price range. This is my go to lens when I need to create video with a person on camera. Works beautifully with my 5d Mark II for interview videos, explainer videos, testimonials, even B-Roll shots.

I am an amatuer photographer. I do family and friends pictures and other fun photo projects on the side. This is my favorite Lens to use. Pretty much my go to! Good for portrait photography. Very minimal editing needs to be done when I use this lens

I love this lens. It is a fantastic lens for portraits, street photography, and general use. It is my go-to lens because if the great optics and light weight. This is a must have for new or novice photographers. You can't beat the price for this impressive glass.

For that price is good, this lens work amazing, has a lot of light and the body it´s metal. The manual focus isn't good for work fast.

Great 50mm lens in budget. Work great and I recommend it

I was recommended this lens and the 24MM 2.8 by a photographer, and the quality of my novice photos has improved drastically. Canon should include these lenses in their kits and leave the zoom lenses for add on purchases later.
