    Was looking for this one after purchasing Canon 6d mark II, to start with exploring and as beginner I found to be the best lens to start with indoor and some landscape photography.

    This is a must have lens for your bag. Definitely an upgrade compared with the kit lens. On a half sensor you must adjust your distance, but the quality is great especially paired with a filter lens.

    This was a great addition to my camera bag and didn't break the bank. Unless you want to spend way more on the lower stops, the pictures this prime takes are sharp. You will not have buyers remorse for the quality at this price.

    Everyone says that you need this lens in your collection & they are right! The pictures are so sharp and the bokeh is actually pretty great. An excellent lens even for a novice photographer!

    It's a little narrow for a walking around lens on my T4i (crop sensor), but the pictures and the bokeh are incredible given the price range of this lens. A must have for any photographer

    Great little lens

    This is definitely a great little lens. I use it for videos. My only thing with the 50mm is you have to be across the room from the camera and it's very hard to get in focus if you aren't behind the camera. So often I've filmed a video just to upload it to my computer to find the background in focus and myself completely out of focus and blurry. Tethering helps. If I were behind the camera I would love it more. When in focus it helps take beautiful video and gorgeous still images!

    I was getting bored with the kit lens that came with my camera, so I looked for a cheap upgrade to practice portrait photography. I definitely recommend this lens for that as well as interview-type videography.
