Customer Ratings & Reviews

I've found this to be one of the best inexpensive lenses you can get for the Canon. It's perfect for getting that wonderful bokeh backgrounds or nicely blurred for portrait shots. Everyone should have one of these lenses in their camera bag.

Instantly I am in love this with portrait lens. The bokeh and image quality on this lens is exceptional at this price range. Awesome value for money.

This is a great lens for beginners on a budget. It was easy to operate and takes great pictures. They didn't have it in stock so I prepaid it and they had it at the store in a few days. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable and professional.

The nifty fifty lense is truly amazing for a photographer on a budget. f1.8 is more than enough aperture you need for those perfect portrait shots with great bokeh. It focuses quickly and is very quiet. A great lense that we all need to own!

Love it, it has become my favorite lens. Bought it for wife (she is just starting off) and she love it. Uses it on every shoot, i believe this is the lens that blurs out the background by faces are cristal clear.

I purchased this lens because it has an f stop of f/1.8. I primarily use the lens with a set of extension tubes for extreme close up macro photography. It is a great lens for a very good price.

This is a good lens that is a must have in everyone’s camera bag. Only down side is that it is plastic but it’s not that big of a deal...besides that I really like this lens and am excited to see what it can capture

Very happy with this lens. I have the canon 77d and it works great with it. Pictures are amazing. Yeah it does have a plastic feel, but for a $125 I have zero complaints. It’s relatively fast and works amazing for my needs.

Bought this lens to accompany my 18-135mm. Have taken beautiful pictures with this lens and no filters. (Still on the fence about purchasing filters) Overall, I'm pleased with the nifty fifty and the price I paid.

I love my 50mm soooo much! I use it for everything!

Well not sure if the true nifty fifty is the 1.4 or this 1.8 but it works great either way. Fast focus and wonderful pictures from this lens. Needed in a rush for a film shoot and fit the bill.

Ive owned all three versions of the 50mm 1.8 and this is the best one, Very Sharp Images, Great Bokeh, Quiet Autofocus,Metal Mount, Nice new look. Must have for portraits, awesome lens for the money. Just wish they would add IS and it would be perfect!

This lens is really very fun to shoot with. It creates a great blurred background when taking portraits and at the price it’s so worth the money. I have really enjoyed taking photos of my kids with this lens as well as objects.

The "nifty fifty" is a must have in your camera bag. The aperture of the lens is excellent for the price. I would highly recommend this lens for the amateur to mid level photgrapher.

This was a recommended lens on a photography blog/website I follow. I was able to get it on sale and tried it out right away. I'm new to the DSLR level of cameras but this little lens is going to be fun to play with. Very happy with my purchase.

Hands down this lens is perfect for my lifestyle. It's auto focus is nothing but great. I would recommend this lens to anyone looking for a inexpensive lens but also a high quality lens. everyone should have this lens in their camera bag.

Perfect for all the up close food photography and detail work I need to do. If you want to get up close without getting to close, but still capturing all the details, this is the lens for you. Great for getting a cool bokeh effect too!

BEST BUDGET LENS FOR PORTRAITS. I was able to capture graduations, milestone birthdays, and many other events. If you know your settings, no editing needed. It will not disappoint!

I now know why they call it the nifty fifty. This lens is awesome and I highly recommend it

Great but easy to use and very sharp great for beginners
