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.

    Great Lens For Up Close Shots

    To be quite honest I haven't been using this or my new camera because of lack of time. However, the small amount I've used it-it has done the job. You won't be able to zoom in etc., but it will take those nice up close photos and give you some blur. You just won't be able to manipulate it very much. I had a NIKON D80 for a very long time with this type of lens and my camera was stolen. This is equivalent to it. I'm not a camera expert, but I would recommend this lens.

    Necessity For Portraits

    Sooo good for headshots. Expect to be angled in awkward positions to get the right distance at times as you can't control the zoom and it gets pretty close up - that's just how 50mm's are. But it's worth, my photos look so professional.

    As a beginner photographer, I was told to get a prime lens because it would help with image composition. And I couldn’t be happier with that advice. I love the images I’ve captured with this lens in the few weeks I’ve had it. The price was fantastic, too. I thought it was going to be so much more expensive than it was.
