Customer Ratings & Reviews

You can’t have a complete photo kit without this lens. The F1.8 is fast and sharp for being a value lens. It’s a plastic body and not metal like the 1.4 or 1.2 but you’re not going to need a loan to buy it like the others. They don’t call it the nifty 50 for nothing.

Easy to use.. great lens.. have been taking lot of amazing pictures of my baby

the ole reliable nifty fifty. one of the best entry level prime lenses, you’ll never go wrong with this

Great quality and very easy to intstall. Great for beginner portrait shots.

Very pleased with this lense. It is very affordable and takes great pictures. I use it to take action shots and the I mages are crisp and bright, even when the sun starts going down!

One of my favorites! Takes a great picture and is a great lens for a beginner.

I was looking for an affordable new lens for my Canon 70D to take higher quality portraits and after reviewing a wide variety of photography forums and Best Buy/Amazon reviews I purchased the EF 50mm. I am definitely more of a dedicated hobbyist than a pro shooter, but I've been thrilled with the performance of this lens so far and impressed with the photo quality and functionality overall! Recommend!

This is a huge upgrade from the previous nifty-fifty! The STM motor is fantastic for cameras with dual pixel AF (Canon 80D, 6DMarkii, etc.). All though this is not a macro lens, it is remarkably close and that’s why it’s always in my bag for shooting weddings. I get great macro-like shots with this lens for an unbeatbable price. Best of all it’s light, fast, sharp and cheap!

Awesome portrait lens. I love shooting with this 50mm. Cheap but mighty.

Amazing prime lens for its price. Sharp, easy to carry, excellent lens quality.

Quality of pictures looks CRISP! First time buying an after market lense, never thought I'd do something like that.

I was looking to expand on my photography, and had learned in a class that this is the best "starter" lens! I'm absolutely in love with the photos this lens allows me to capture, but if you are looking at lenses, keep in mind that this lens does not have the option to zoom in and out. Very happy with this purchase!!

My daughter has turned her photography hobby into a career and absolutely loves this lens. She has used it for both concert photography and portrait sessions. The price is just right and has been a perfect complement to our lens collection.

This lense is so awesome! Blurs the background and target image is super sharp. Love it!

This Canon Lens is one of the best and the price is really good! Excellent product!

Love my new prime lens! Easy to use and the photos have fantastic!

This is the lens that is equal in quality as much as the lens is priced to sell, the nifty fifty is a standard Al photography enthusiasts and pros use

This lens was highly recommended by others as an entry-level lens to play around with and I am very happy I decided to get it. I am using it on a Canon 60D and the quality of the images are significantly different from the kit lens that came with the camera. It is a fixed lens, so that took some getting used to, but overall, the lens is amazing and a great deal at its low price.

We have the Canon EOS R and this worked perfect with the control ring adapter. Easy to handle and solid performer for the shots taken. Price was extremely reasonable.

Takes very sharp photos. Easy to use. Eliminates need to guess focal length
