Customer Ratings & Reviews

I was looking for a decent portrait lens for my T3i and this one produces excellent quality images!

You can’t beat it for the price. It works well and it’s definitely worth picking up one

This is a great first lens for beginning photographers. It's very affordable, fast and offers great quality for the price. If you are an intermediate photographer, I recommend going with the 1.4 because the difference in colors, distortion, and boca will be worth the price jump. This shouldn't deteer beginners because adjustments can be made in post and it is so, so much sharper and better than any kit lens.

Great lens to start with. I will eventually buy the more expensive 50 but this is a great lens on a budget. Captures great photos.

So glad I purchased. I got a knock off version at first but finally got the real! My favorite lense. Cheap price. Good quality!

The 50mm 1.8 is hands down the best value lens available for Canon EOS. The lens quality and sharpness are excellent for the price point, build quality is durable.

This is a great lens and the quality is excellent! The only thing is that it took a few shots to get used to being a fixed zoom lens, with me having to move forward or backward as needed. But, once I got the hang of this, no issues at all. Overall the lens feels very high quality, this one having a metal ring vs. the plastic on it's predecessor. Small and compact as well, which is nice. Plus, for the price, you really can not go wrong. This is a no-brainer to add to your lens inventory!

We bought this lens for our baby pictures and the ease of use has been and the quality we are getting is great for a startup for beginners

As the title says, this is a great lens for not a lot of money. Always gets the shot i want and has good bokeh.

I love using this lens for close up shots and portraits!

Love this lens. It never leaves my camera. This 1.8 EF lens is well worth the money

This lens was well spent! Did a lot of research into this len and this is my go to lens and it’s good for beginners!

This is a great lens for a perfect budget. It is fast at f/1.8 and can produce nice bokeh photos. Great quality and price for a Canon f/1.8!

I totally love this lense. Im a beginner on taking pro pics and im loving how these pictures come out. And for the price... Well worth it!

Awesome Product. It was the right lens for the job. The Sales Associate was very helpful and had the answers for my many questions. I will be back for more equipment as time goes on.

Perfect for the canon t3i camera. Amazing depth of field. And the auto focus is not that loud.

This is a beast of a lens, i have a L mount camera system so i was able to get the correct adapter to make this lens work on my system, it has been great perfect for me in terms of performance and portability, this little work horse takes some super amazing photos.

I bought this as an extra lens to go with my new camera. I'm so glad I spent the extra money for it because it produces the type of pictures I wanted to capture of our new baby. It automatically zooms in when the lens is attached so you have to be further away from the object you're taking the picture of, but that's usually not a problem. Also, it takes a while to adjust to the focus settings. It will focus on whatever is closest instead of a face, but I'm sure after playing around a little more I will have greater control over it.

Great all purpose, easy to use lens....especially if you like that 'blurred-background' look to your pictures. Great for portraits.

I've shot professional photography for about a year now. When I needed a backup lens (but didn't want to spend the money), I went ahead a picked this up. At first, I was going to write a review on this lens. To my surprise, the lens provided sharp images...but it was slow to focus and extremely loud!!!
