Customers are saying

Customers have good things to say about the EF50mm F1.8 STM Standard Prime Lens for EOS DSLR Cameras, especially regarding its lens quality, ease of use, and overall performance. Many appreciate the background blur and depth of field it provides, as well as its lightweight design. The primary concern expressed is with the auto focus, which some users find struggles in low light.

    I bought this lens again because I had dropped my camera and broke my previous lens. I always loved it for its lightness, portability, and affordability, so I just had to buy it again for headshots mostly.

    This lens is great if you are taking stills (portraits, headshots, etc.) doesn’t zoom, so don’t count on being able to catch far away shots. Best range seems to be about 12-25 feet.

    Works perfect with M50 using an adaptor I got from Amazon for not too much. It does add weight to the camera but nothing that can't be handled by most.

    This lens requires that you look creatively at your subject. It has no zoom, so you are using just the standard view. Makes me think twice when shooting.
