    This lens was recommended by the teacher during a camera class my wife took. Excellent for capturing pictures of our family inside and in lower light conditions.

    Got this lens mainly for the aperture to get that bokeh background and it's great for the price. Really blurs the background well and gives good sharp images.

    The quality of the lens is better than I expected and works very well for portrait photos considering the price.

    A MUST HAVE!!! Seems like since COVID, everyone picked up some sort of hobby haha. Sells out fast so when I saw it was available in store late one night, I made sure to buy it online for store/curb side pick up that way I’d get it before it sold out again. I’m only am amateur/hobby photographer so this works perfect for me. I’m sure professionals would buy/invest in much better lens but for this price and this quality, it’s a must have.

    I bought this lens specifically for focusing on one object and blurring the background and it does just that. I have gotten some great shots using this lens.

    I had a 50mm f1.8 (non-stm) and it broke and decided to get this one. Performs better and has more of a solid construction.. I recommend this item hands down. Get one!

    Bought this lens as an addition to the two standard lenses that came with my Canon DSLR. This lens takes phenomenal photos. Wish I had made the purchase sooner.

    I really like this lens. Nice bokeh for portraits. Quick silent focusing. The only problems I have experienced are, purple fringing mostly on high contrast areas and the image quality isn't very sharp if you're more than a few feet away from your subject. The lens is great when you are close to your subject. Great deal, I always have it with me.

    A very cool lens for the price. Definitely a small upgrade from the lens that comes with the camera
