Best lens, the nifty fifty is so helpful! Takes such crisp photos and makes a world of difference when coming from a kit lens

The “nifty fifty” is really just a great do it all type of lens. I have a DSLR just for family pictures and I always get great shots of my kids with this. It’s barely left my camera since I bought it.

This is my first prime lens. I use it only cropped sensor camera, so 50mm is is more like a 75mm. But the pictures are crisp and beautiful, also great in low light.

A solid lens, worked perfectly for the shoot I needed it for. Photos came out looking great

I am glad to have added this lens to my collection, awesome choice for landscapes or portraits.

Got this lens to use for portrait type pictures and was not disappointed! Love the low fstop settings for a nice blur to the background. Have had a blast experimenting with it. It has been a great addition to my equipment wish I would have bought it sooner!

This lens is an outstanding addition to my collection. I shoot a lot of pictures in low light gymnastics venues with not flash. This lense allows me to work in tighter spaces than my 70-200 f 2.8 does without loss of quality. Definitely money well spent.

Stumbled across this lens at my local Best Buy, Actually googled it while I was there to read some reviews, all positive. For the $ you can’t go wrong. Great nifty fifty, plastic fantastic! Clear, fast lens!

This lens makes using the Canon cameras so much more enjoyable than the standard Kit Lens most of them come with. It's not multi-purpose like the kit lens is, but this should be an automatic inclusion when you buy your camera. It's THAT good.

upon the purchase of my first canon dslr, it was recommended to buy this lens in addition to the package lens with camera. I AGREE, it is perfect for portrait photos!

This canon lens is an excellent staple among my other lenses for my camera. It shoots excellent street shots.

Best Lenses Ever. This thing is so small but the results do not disappoint.

Great for the price. A good starter lens and a must have for many situations.

This is a great little lense for working wedding receptions and similar venues. A 50 mm is great staple to have in your kit and gives a nice shallow depth of field.

Great value prime, with excellent brokeh at 1.8 though it really starts to clear up by 2.2 and fantastic sharpness at 2.8. Though my only complaint is unless your on a full frame 50 mm can be a little tight for my only prime and wish I had gone with a wider lens

I got this lens because I hear so much about it. I put it on my eos 70D and it really shoots a clear picture. I shoot alot of urban and landscapes. I think it's going to do the job well. I was amazed at the picture quality just shooting around the house.

I have only used the item a hadnful of times and am excited to use it in photo shoots. This lense was termed as a must have for any photographer who shoots portrait shots; it received high recommendations. Best Buy service was very friendly and helpful.

Excellent Lens... it's Canon. The sales person... sucked absolute canal water!

This lens is phenomenal when youre learning to shoot and dont need/want the complexity of a zoom lens. It has amazing power for its size and price.

Prime lens is really good for capturing candid pics
