Customer Ratings & Reviews

There is a reason this is referred to as the nifty fifty. It's one of the most affordable lenses that takes mind blowing photos. This is my go to lens. Be sure to get the adapter!

I like this camera a lot! I’ve used it for a few years. I liked it for a beginner camera. It was easy to figure out how to use!

Absolutely loved using this, you have to really make sure your focused to the subject though but once you are super crisp images. And the speed of the camera due to the low aperture makes it incredible!

This nifty fifty is a GREAT purchase for those on a budget. although it won’t get you that crazy “bokeh” effect, like a 1.2 or 1.4 would, this is still a great investment and addiction to any starting photog’s bag.

This is a great lens for the price! I know that the price tags on a lot of the faster lenses is daunting but this is an excellent addition for beginners!

Best lens I have put my money on hands down! Great for portraits.

This is the best lens for portraits, in my humble opinion. I am just a novice photographer, and bought this lens based on reviews in YouTube. Works well with my T7i camera.

LOVE this lense I bought for my photography business.

Absolutely love this lens! The images are so much sharper than my other lens. Minot crazy about how much it is zoomed in already compared to other lens but if you have room to move around and back up from your subject it's great

I use this for my Rebel T 7 and its amazing, the pictures come out beautiful and clear. (Canon)

Bought this lens at the request of my daughter for Christmas. She is getting into photography and wanted something that improves the quality of taking pictures of things that are moving, such as sporting events. She says it works well.

Takes very clear photos great for large groups should have bought it's a long time ago

As usual, our focus (pardon the pun) is on Canon products for their superior quality and performance. Once again this holds true of this excellent lens, which is great for the price. Clarity and ease of use is excellent.

Love it! Tested it by taking pics of the babies, a Chihuahua, and dingo mix. Pictures look amazing and definitely tell the difference between this lens and the one the camera came with. Definitely recommend it for portraits!

I absolutely love this lens. I haven’t had any issues with it. It takes great pictures and it rarely leaves my camera. Great in low light and creates some amazing bokeh.

For the cheapest lens in Canon's EF lineup, this one is a very good value. Doesn't have the cheap feel of some of the other lenses, and while it is a far cry from an L lens, the picture quality is pretty good.

Awesome lens for my camera. Easy to use and amazing details on pictures.

Great all around lens for portrait photography. Easy to use!

I love this lens! I use this for portrait shots. The highest Apertures allows me to get my images how I want my images to come out. A great addition to the lens family

I just got into photography and this was the first lens that I bought. It takes real clear pictures and I love how they come out. I would definitely recommend especially if you’re just starting out.
