    I love my 50mm 1.8. It's a lot of fun to shoot with and the images are great. I accidentally dropped mine and broke it — so when I needed one fast, Best Buy was just down the road and had it in stock! Thanks guys!

    I love this lens. I practiced using by taking pictures of my wife and my Halloween decorations. The pictures had great focus and a beautiful blur behind the subject. Its a must have for the camera bag.

    I wanted a lens where I can take crisp action shots of basketball games, as well as portraits and this lens delivers it all! I don't even have to do much editing. Vibrant color, crisp shots, a great lens all around for a great price!

    A Much Welcome Update

    The revised Canon 50mm is a nice improvement from the prior model - with a larger (and more quiet) focus ring and better auto-focus (along with sharp photos and a great price) - this one lens any photographer should not be without.

    This lens is great for personal photography, especially when I want to keep my kit small and mobile. The focal length is a bit tight for room shots, but great for candids and casual portraits with family and friends.

    Bought this for my wife since she didn’t have one that would capture human eye quality. She loves using this lens and I find her using it more than the bigger lens the cañón camera came with.

    Worked great with my cannon camera that I purchased a long time ago. It’s actually really small to carry around so it fits anywhere! Great small product to use.

    This is my first lens purchase for my DSLR. It's fast, bright, and crisp. I use it for closeups and portraits. I love the blurred background effect. It is so light and minimizes the profile of my Canon!
