    Canon - EF 50mm f/1.8 STM Standard Lens

    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.

    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!

    I use this lens for a lot of macro photography and portraits. It's adorably small and such a durable quality. It feels nice in your hands as you place it on your camera and overall, it's such a nifty camera.

    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.

    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 bought this lens with an canon lens adopter to use with my canon M50 camera to take pictures for my wedding and it delivered some quality sharp pictures you would think a professional took them.

    STARTER LENS

    This is a great starter or basic lens and is helping me be able to take better pictures of my family. I am currently attempting to learn more about taking pictures and photography and this lens is good for that purpose. As I learn more I will upgrade but so far the picture quality difference between this and a standard lens is awesome. I wish you could zoom with the lens but as I stated its a starter lens. I recommend.

    One of the best bang-for-your-buck lenses you'll ever get. Excellent for portraits and other similar work. Great bokeh with its 1.8 aperture and good for beginners learning composition.

    I was looking for a great lense to use on my YouTube channel, and this lense gave me a great depth effect. My background was perfectly blurred while my subject stayed nice and sharp. This is definitely a staple item for anyone taking photos or videos

    Like they say, the nifty 50 is a must have lens for both the beginner, and, seasoned Photographer. Results will vary based on the way you use your camera, but, whether you use auto or manual settings this lens will produce good shots.

    I encourage you to read reviews and check YouTube videos on this product vs. the other versions. The metal casing on this 1.8 STM feels solid and the gearing is quiet/smooth. Takes amazing shots! I recommend tracking down the lens hood (ES-68) to prevent flares.
