    Great compact lens that has really nice sharpness and going to f/1.8 is great for selective focus images and portraits in low light.

    This is the best lens ever! Its very easy to use and the auto focus is quiet and not loud like the older version. Great lens if you're barely getting into photography/videography.

    This is a great affordable prime lens. The 50mm length is used often in portraits and the price point of the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM is reasonable for the shallow depth of focus it provides.

    This was my first lens purchase to have something other than my kit lenses. I have been very happy with it and have really appreciated the bigger aperture capabilities.

    Bought it for my Canon 5D2. Had one in the past but lost it. This takes great pictures. Was a good option for me cause I bought it for our family vacation. Can't go wrong for the price.
