    When I purchased my Canon t7i it came with two kit lenses, neither of which was a prime lens... they were both variable "zoom" lenses. All my photography friends urged me to purchase a 50mm prime lens. It's almost the only lens I use now. Totally changed the way I shoot. This is the less-expensive version of the lens, with a plastic housing, and $200 less than the all aluminum version. It functions essentially the same and is lighter weight. If you are an amateur or hobby photographer, this should be your next purchase.

    Love this lens. As a street photographer I wanted a big lens that wouldn't bring too much attention to me. Great image quality for the price.

    Great small lens for starting out, to get that nice blurry background. I use it with my Canon 90D.

    Price point is awesome and the lens works with both full frame and crop sensor cameras. It focuses faster than the 1.4 and is half the price
