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.

    Got help with this lens selection when in FL at the Spring Hill Best Buy. The fellow there was a pro and was fabulous in helping with my selection. He was spot on! Thanks!

    For this price, this is the best lens you can get for any Canon DSLR. Excellent glass quality, and the upgraded focus is a huge improvement from the old version. Definitely a must have lens!

    I really wanted a 50mm (nifty fifty) and I decided to go for the 1.8 because it's about $1,000 "cheaper" then what I originally wanted [50mm 1.4].. and it hasn't let me down, i LOVE IT.
