    Nifty Fifty We All Need

    The nifty fifty lense is truly amazing for a photographer on a budget. f1.8 is more than enough aperture you need for those perfect portrait shots with great bokeh. It focuses quickly and is very quiet. A great lense that we all need to own!

    This is a good lens that is a must have in everyone’s camera bag. Only down side is that it is plastic but it’s not that big of a deal...besides that I really like this lens and am excited to see what it can capture

    Bought this lens to accompany my 18-135mm. Have taken beautiful pictures with this lens and no filters. (Still on the fence about purchasing filters) Overall, I'm pleased with the nifty fifty and the price I paid.

    BEST BUDGET LENS FOR PORTRAITS. I was able to capture graduations, milestone birthdays, and many other events. If you know your settings, no editing needed. It will not disappoint!

    Very happy with this lens. I have the canon 77d and it works great with it. Pictures are amazing. Yeah it does have a plastic feel, but for a $125 I have zero complaints. It’s relatively fast and works amazing for my needs.

    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!

    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 really like the background blur of this lense. It’s small and portable which makes it easy to carry. Also affordable for the quality. Can’t really zoom in or out but that’s expected

    Ive owned all three versions of the 50mm 1.8 and this is the best one, Very Sharp Images, Great Bokeh, Quiet Autofocus,Metal Mount, Nice new look. Must have for portraits, awesome lens for the money. Just wish they would add IS and it would be perfect!

    This lens is really very fun to shoot with. It creates a great blurred background when taking portraits and at the price it’s so worth the money. I have really enjoyed taking photos of my kids with this lens as well as objects.

    Perfect for all the up close food photography and detail work I need to do. If you want to get up close without getting to close, but still capturing all the details, this is the lens for you. Great for getting a cool bokeh effect too!

    This was a recommended lens on a photography blog/website I follow. I was able to get it on sale and tried it out right away. I'm new to the DSLR level of cameras but this little lens is going to be fun to play with. Very happy with my purchase.

    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.

    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.
