Quick focus, sharp photos, light weight. All around perfect lens for portraits.

Great lense! Its the one I keep on all the time now.

This is a lens that everyone needs in their camera bag, beginner or not. I've had both the stm and the non stm version, and this one (stm) improves on the original. The autofocus seems to be a bit snappier and the image quality seems slightly better. It looks great on a 6D. You can't go wrong with a 50mm on a cropped or full frame sensor.

I needed something in a pinch when my 18-55mm finally died. While I was used to the focus length of the other, this did take some getting used to not being able to focus in the range that I wanted. But, that being said, I'm not at all disappointed in this lens. I fully plan to purchase a new 18-55 and this will still remain in my arsenal.

It’s an awesome lens for everyone, easy to use, great quality and just great overall

I like it for the aperture, I can get close with a real short depth of field for those nice blurry backgrounds.

Got this lens when I purchased the Rebel T7. This is such an inexpensive lens compared to other lenses and a good quality! I only take photos of my family and friends, so this works perfectly for me.

I love this lens, I wish I got it sooner! Excellent quality and very light!

I have used this lens for multiple indoor sporting events (Basketball and Track) and it works great. However, it is meant more for portraiture rather than sports, as the servo auto focus is a little slow. Great value nonetheless. Highly recommend for anyone just getting into photography looking for a cheap, fast lens.

excellent value and optical quality, wide open images impressive, light and compact, nice price, metal mount appreciated

Bought this lens specifically for low light / night time photography. The 1.8 aperture makes all the difference. Definitely recommend this lens.

Excellent lens good for every day use and also at a reasonable price

Purchased this for my Canon Rebel T5i to get a shallow depth of field. It produces fantastic images.

This lens is a great starter lens for beginners. Canon brand lenses are the best!

Beautiful portrait lens.blurs background easily. Easy to use on my canon rebel t6.

My first non kit lens and maaaan it has been a game changer. Its dynamic and very different. There is a bit of a learning curve but its kept me very involved in my new photography hobby.

Very good lens for this price. The sweet spot is around f/4-5.6. With f.8 don't expect it to be super sharp, but pretty decent. This is a Full Frame lens, but can be used with APS-C cameras accepting full frame lenses, although it will become 80mm lens because of the 1.6 crop factor.

This is a great lens for street photography and portraits and indoors. I bought this to take it to Europe and got some very nice shots! The images are very crisp and sharp. The colors pop up very well too. Great lens for this price

Bought this to have a budget lens to blur the background and isolate my Subject. Very happy with the results.

Love the photo's. Very easy to use and takes great portraits. Just as expected
