Customer Ratings & Reviews

grabbed this little guy prior to a portrait photoshoot I was doing and the results couldn't have been better. I've added one of the photos for reference. Shot on a Canon EOS Rebel T7

For what you’re paying for this lens, it’s just silly not to buy one. Produces great photos, it has a wide aperture, and a very nice and snappy auto focus. There’s a reason it’s called the Nifty Fifty, practically any photographer you ask will have or have had this lens at some point. You don’t have to use it just for portraits either, go out there and play with it, you won’t be disappointed! Note to buyers, it does NOT have IS so it’s not exactly the greatest for making videos unless you use a tripod. Also the AF isn’t exactly whisper quiet and the noise will definitely be picked up by a mic mounted on the camera.

This lens produces nice images, fantastic quality, and an amazing bokeh effect. Its very light weight and can hardly tell you have a lens on the body. Depth of field and apeture variety is brilliant. Good lens for the price.

Great affordable lens. Its lightweight and takes great pictures.

I recently purchased the Canon EF50mm F1.8 STM Standard Prime Lens for my EOS DSLR camera, and I must say, I am extremely pleased with this product. Often referred to as the "nifty fifty," this lens truly lives up to its reputation as an essential piece of gear for any Canon DSLR owner, especially given its incredibly affordable price point.

This lense produces great images with a great shallow depth of field all while being incredibly cheap. Would recommend for any photographer, new, or experianced.

A very successful product for its price I use it with 5d mark iv, I'm satisfied

Was looking forever for a good fixed prime lens to shoot portraits. Wasnt too sure if i should get the 1.4 or the 1.8 stm, so happy i went with the 1.8 stm, its lighter and way cheaper!!!

Great for portraits. Sharp lense! Great for blurry backgrounds!

This is a great lens. Some of the reviews said the motor is noisey, but I don't here it. The picture quality is good. the price was reasonable.

Great quality and ease of use. Very good for portrait mode. Captures objects very well and captures depth automatically.

I love this lens. It's the first lens for my 80D that I purchased separate from the default lens. It is perfect for portraits and even some macro and landscape shooting. I took it camping and got some amazing shots. 10/10

This lens should be a staple in any photographers kit bag. The background blur is off the charts, you go from looking like an armature to a real pro real quick with lens. It has a metal connection ring which fits nice an snug against the camera body(previous versions had plastic). This lens does not has IS(image Stabilization) , so you should have a steady hand or tripod in use. It is pretty solid and dead on throughout all the aperture stops. And for under 130.00 you get a lot of bang for your buck.

Omg all around greatness! Where has this been until now

If you just bought a canon camera and you've been using the lens it came with, this is the first lens you should get. You just can't beat the value for money here. It's small, light, lets in a ton of light, and it's cheap. what else do you need?

From the minute I bought this lens, it has not come off my camera! The crisp shots with a prime lens have been perfect for portraits, groups photos, landscaping, etc. With its durability as the cherry on top, this is the all around perfect lens!

I just bought a Canon 80d only the body, I didn’t want the kit lense. So I did my research and everybody raves about this lense. And for good reason, Best purchase I’ve made. It’s cheaper and the quality is so good. Highly recommend it!

Great Lens for the Portrait Shoot. crispy clear pics. It will not replace 18 55 mm lens for its easy to use. Easy to focus and very light weighted. Easy to carry;

Camera lens make a difference in quality. There is no point of buying a camera without upgrading the lens. Unfortunately the lens that come with cameras usually are good but there is a huge advantage of upgrading your lens for best quality.

This lens is a awesome lens for the price. The f stop is really low so you can get the blurred background effect really easily
