This is the best value for money lens that you can find anywhere in the market. I’ve got this for $110 and this is my choice when taking indoor photos in low light. The lens can produce good quality pics with adequate sharpness and the f1.8 will help you in low light photography. And 50mm is a perfect choice for indoor photography.

A must-have for every photographers bag. This little lens is very inexpensive, very light-weight, very unobtrusive (unlike larger lenses that draw alot of attention) and extremely helpful in low-light situations (if you know how to shoot in Manual or Aperture Prioity Mode).

Haven’t had much experiences with different lenses, I’ve been using the one that came with my Canon. I bought this lense due to that it’s affordable and better picture quality at lower light which it has proven to have. Took a while to get use to the fact that it doesn’t zoom like my first lense, still worth the purchase and I’m looking forward to getting more experience with it. I would recommend

I love this lens. It's the first lens for my 80D that I purchased separate from the default lens. It is perfect for portraits and even some macro and landscape shooting. I took it camping and got some amazing shots.
10/10

Very good lens, especially for those on a budget. Large aperiture allows for solid low light performance and lots of great bokeh.

I recently purchased the Canon EF50mm F1.8 STM Standard Prime Lens for my EOS DSLR camera, and I must say, I am extremely pleased with this product. Often referred to as the "nifty fifty," this lens truly lives up to its reputation as an essential piece of gear for any Canon DSLR owner, especially given its incredibly affordable price point.

I own a Canon Rebel T5i and a 60D. I have been shooting semi seriously for about a year and it was time to step up my game in regards to lenses. I did a lot of research and chose the "Nifty 50" as I have heard it referred to. It is great for portraits and getting really good depth of field. I also like that it works with a full frame came if/when I decide to make that transition. For the cost you will not find a better lens.

This lens offers great values for the price. Not only it is lightweight, it also gives a nice feel. This canon EF 50mm lens also allows for awesome background blur.

From the minute I bought this lens, it has not come off my camera! The crisp shots with a prime lens have been perfect for portraits, groups photos, landscaping, etc. With its durability as the cherry on top, this is the all around perfect lens!

If you’re looking for a bang for your buck in terms of image and video quality, the f1.8 aperture is incredible for the price. The auto focus is quick, a bit noisy as you can hear the motor every time but you’ll be wanting to shoot manual for the best quality. Plastic exterior with a metal base, it’ll last you a longtime if you take care of it.

I purchased this lens for it's wide aperture so that I could achieve a shallow depth of field with my camera. I found it to be a great price but you also get what you pay for. This lens does not include image stabilization and does not take the sharpest photos, however, it does exactly what I expected it to. I find that this lens performs best when the aperture is not fully open and the shutter speed is set to aminimum of 1/100th of asecond. The focusing motor is quite noisy but for $125 it does its job. If you're still using a kit lens that was included with the camera you should definitely give this lens a try!

My daughter was so happy. She is so satisfied how she can now explore and do a lot of creative shots in her camera. She thought of buying a new camera but when she learned about this lens, she gave a try. And she is loving it!

This lens is wonderful! I love it because it doesn't add bulk to the camera but it also takes great photos. I have nothing negative to say about it. Don't regret purchasing. If you have more money and want to get a "better" one go for it but at this price point you can't beat the value I watched aTON of YouTube videos before purchasing and they all agreed this is a winner
