    This lens is know by photographers of all levels as one of the best must have lenses for your camera. For good reason. Not only is it super affordable It performs as well if not better than some of the high end lenses for sale. It even dons its own nickname the nifty 50.

    I am new to this hobby and took a gamble with this lens kit. It came with a great price and all of what i need for a beginning photographer. I am still in the discovery phase and to this point, all of what i've used and read has been fun and challenging. Highly recommended, even if you don't use everything in the Kit, i imagine I may need down the line.

    This is by far the best camera lense for the price! This works on a crop sensor and also a full frame. So if you’re just starting out on a crop sensor and plan on upgrading in the future this will still work! It does everything it’s supposed and I love how close you can get to your subject without distortion of image .

    Great Little Lens

    This is a very basic no frills lens but it gets the job done excellently. It does a great job with letting in lots of light for flash free photos and blurring the background with portraits and people photos. It's not as silent as my other lenses so it has woken up a sleeping baby I was photographing but other than that I think it's a great lens for the price.

    Great lens, the "Nifty Fifty V3". Great build and even better price. If you are just starting out in photography or even video this is a must buy. The STM stands for Smooth Transition for Movie and does a nice rack focus when needed.

    Purchased the Canon 50mm f/1.8 lens to use with my Canon T6s camera. I use this prime lens primarily for portraits and close-ups as well as in dim light situations and have been very pleased with the results. Decent quality for a great price. I also have Canon 18-135mm and 55-250mm zoom lenses. You can't go wrong with this nifty-fifty lens, especially for the price.

    Great 50mm lens. Use this lens more than my 24mm. Great for interviews with a shallow depth of field. Used with my BMPCC 6K and have no issues with it.

    This is one of my favorite lenses I have. My friends, professional photographers, and I, an amateur photographer, say that this lens is an essential part of any camera set up someone can have from beginners to professionals. It takes some time to get used to using but once you have a basic understanding of how to use the lens it is a wonderful item.
