Customer Ratings & Reviews

This lens is amazing for any sort of portraits and is great for creative blurred pictures! This is definitely my go to lens!

I've using this lense often. I like it and I believe it at a great price

I bought this to replace my EF-50 1.8 II, thinking it would be silent and focus noises wouldn't be evident in the recordings. Alas, the focus noises are lessened, but still audible in the on camera mic. They are quieter when the camera is in video mode, and the focusing is smoother, but I don't know that I would have bought the lens if I had known it. If you don't, and have a Canon DSLR, it is a no-brainer purchase.

Great special use lens for portraits. Great blur of background while subjects remain in clear focus. Zoom is a bit much for group photos, but it works if you have enough distance between you and the subject.

This lens has so many improvements from Canons previous nifty fifty that it's totally worth the upgrade, and it IS an upgrade. Honestly, after renting the pricier 1.4, I went with the new STM 1.8. It's just THAT good.

I use this more than my expensive 24-70 because it truly still delivers.

I love this lens! The only thing I didn't realize until after I bought it was I own a camera that is not full frame so it acts more like an 85mm lens. But it still takes beautiful pictures. Very happy.

love this lense its very clear and affordable. would recamend

Purchased this lens for my teenage goddaughter before she went on a trip to several national parks and the photos she has posted are incredible.

I love this it’s clear, accurate, lightweight it’s one of the best to have

Great Lens for portraits. Picture quality is great and the quality of the image is superb. Canon is my favorite brand and top of that this lens is addition to my collection of all other lenses.

I love this lens! So happy I bought it. Would definitely recommend to all lifestyle photographers.

Picture look very good and amazing would definitely recommend

Took many photos on my last cruise. Was totally amazed with the low light shots I took as well as daytime photos. Crisp and clear shots. Much better than my 18-55mm lens that came with the DSLR

Takes great close-up shots. Very affordable. Love all my Canon lenses but I find myself grabbing for this one quite often!

This is the one lens everyone says you should have and they are correct. Try it and give it a go!

What can you say about this great little lens? It creates some true magic when you set things up right. One of the best purchases I’ve made. Made endless memories with this one.

Great lens at a great price. Good clarity and sharpness.

This is a must have lens for someone that has a compatible Canon DSLR camera. This is excellent for my T3i to take photos with lower lighting, and for portraits. beautiful boca effects for portraits!

Compact in size, easy for transport. Has a low fstop so you get good background blur and awesome low light quality. Tight fit on camera and hard, durable build quality. Best lens I own!
