Customer Ratings & Reviews

I use this lens with the Canon T7i, the picture quality and the bokeh effect it produces is truly amazing. This is pretty much my default lens. Worth every penny, unless you can afford the f1.4 50mm lens.

Although I am using a crop camera the 50 fills my needs, it is like using a 80 mm, you can't beat the quality and speed for the price. Down the road it can be used in a full frame canon because it is a EF lens.

I didn't expect to receive such a nice bokeh effect from this lens, but after using it up close to take pictures of collectibles I noticed it and was pleasantly surprised. This is very light prime lens and Canon made a good update with the STM version of this lens. It's not an L lens, but for the price, this is a great little lens. I use it with a Full Frame Canon 6D.

This is my 3rd lens that I bought to use towards my photography. The f/ 1.8 is great and super clear and focuses really well. I would highly recommend this lens to anybody that wants to do portraits and stills!

Bought this for my niece, for her birthday. She was so exicited when she opened it and started using it. She didn't know what she was capable of once she started photographing w this lens.

Excited about this new purchase. These lens are amazing and can’t wait to do a photoshoot with them soon!

It's just awesome, pictures are great..............

A great add to my new camera! Definitely leaves images defined and crispy.

I bought this lens for my 6D to do indoor concert photography. It work perfect its just what I needed. The lens is fast and the aperture is wide enough to capture indoor shots without flash. Just what I needed!

Great prime lens for a reasonable price! Would highly recommend to those starting out and wanting to practice with a prime lens.

I bought this to replace my EF-50 1.8 II, thinking it would be silent and focus noises wouldn't be evident in the recordings. Alas, the focus noises are lessened, but still audible in the on camera mic. They are quieter when the camera is in video mode, and the focusing is smoother, but I don't know that I would have bought the lens if I had known it. If you don't, and have a Canon DSLR, it is a no-brainer purchase.

Best bang for the buck portrait lense you can buy.

This lens is amazing for any sort of portraits and is great for creative blurred pictures! This is definitely my go to lens!

Great special use lens for portraits. Great blur of background while subjects remain in clear focus. Zoom is a bit much for group photos, but it works if you have enough distance between you and the subject.

I love this lens! The only thing I didn't realize until after I bought it was I own a camera that is not full frame so it acts more like an 85mm lens. But it still takes beautiful pictures. Very happy.

Purchased this lens for my teenage goddaughter before she went on a trip to several national parks and the photos she has posted are incredible.

This lens has so many improvements from Canons previous nifty fifty that it's totally worth the upgrade, and it IS an upgrade. Honestly, after renting the pricier 1.4, I went with the new STM 1.8. It's just THAT good.

Great Lens for portraits. Picture quality is great and the quality of the image is superb. Canon is my favorite brand and top of that this lens is addition to my collection of all other lenses.

What can you say about this great little lens? It creates some true magic when you set things up right. One of the best purchases I’ve made. Made endless memories with this one.

Exactly what I needed at a great price! The staff was very helpful!
