Customer Ratings & Reviews

I am learning about taking night / low light photos and this lens makes it easy. Now I can take photos during indoor events that does not allow flash photography. It also does an excellent job on moving objects in low light. (Think wedding reception).

A must have in your camera bag for those landscape and portrait shots. Highly versatile, affordable, and very compact, making it a great choice if you are trying to stay minimal yet get a decent focal distance.

I got this lens for a discounted price using Visa Checkout and it is just awesome. I regularly use with my Canon 80D crop sensor body and still gets the best image. I think it is the the best canon lens for less than $150. I highly recommend this lens for anyone who is searching for a new lens after the kit lens.

The best item bought for my hobby Great lens. Thw best experience if you want starting in the photo world

This is one lens every intermediate photographer would have in their kit. Great depth of field. Mind you that crop sensors will make this a 85mm lens instead of 50mm due to the crop factor. Keep that into account when you buy this. It is a true 50mm only on a full frame Dslr.

I've been looking for a new lens for my Canon 60D and this one was highly recommended. I am not a professional photographer by no means, thus this lens was perfect for my needs of casual photo taking. The quality of the images were much higher than my standard kit lens and I am very happy with the purchase.

I love canon products, this lense what exactly what I wanted and had excellent quality.

Canon 50mm lens is the truth! I attended a Canon workshop held by Best Buy, which by the way if you have not attended one you should, we had the opportunity to try 2 lens, one being the 50mm lens! This lens can take a mediocre shot and turn it into something spectacular! This lens is my new best friend! I love it!

I love this lens. It’s totally changed my photography game. Totally worth the price.

An upgrade from a kit lens on a Canon DSLR. I had wanted this Nifty Fifty lens for a while. It provides great depth of field and excellent in low light too. Recommend for portraits. All for a great entry level price point for fixed lenses.

You can't get a better quality lens for this price. I am very happy with the sharpness and general quality, however I've found I just don't shoot 50mm that often. I prefer to have zoom lenses for versatility, but if you know you will shoot 50mm there is no better lens.

I bought this lens for concert photography gigs. It's fast and works very well in low-light settings. I'm happy with the quality of the photos.

Great product and a great price fast shipping saved my bacon before a photo shoot.

This lens is an affordable alternative to the Sigma 18-35 f/1.8 gives you that very zoomed in look ( fixed lens so you can not adjust ) with a blurry background which is exactly the look I’ve been trying to achieve for my YouTube videos

What can you say about the nifty 50 f/1.8? It's amazing! Yes, it looks kinda cheap, but it takes great shots. A little soft at 1.8 (still great, but a little soft) - shots at f/2.0, f/4.0, f/5.6 - sharp as a tack. Great lens for the money!

I'm new to this and the blur feature takes out the guess work..plus it takes a regular photo also. Great little lens!! I am having fun playing with it and learning more about it everyday..it is always with me

This lens is a priority lens that I always keep in my bag. I use it for some indoor action shots due to its 1.4 f stop. I use it for all of my photo sessions. I use it for concert photography. I can always count on it to produce great quality work. I use it on my canon rebel t7i.

This is a great prime lens. However, it does make a noise when you focus it but that is to be expected. Overall, I love this lens.

this lens helped a lot more than i thought it would, 10/10 would recommend!

The larger aperture of the lens allows the user to take pictures with a shallow depth of field without sacrificing the quick shutter speed. This can be used in fairly lower lighting areas and still get sharp pictures without the blurr from a slow shutter speed. Definitely recommend!
