Customer Ratings & Reviews

This lens makes using the Canon cameras so much more enjoyable than the standard Kit Lens most of them come with. It's not multi-purpose like the kit lens is, but this should be an automatic inclusion when you buy your camera. It's THAT good.

This was my first prime lens, and while it may not feel like a Sigma Art lens in your hand it's astonishing for the value. Picture quality is quite nice for the money.

upon the purchase of my first canon dslr, it was recommended to buy this lens in addition to the package lens with camera. I AGREE, it is perfect for portrait photos!

Great value prime, with excellent brokeh at 1.8 though it really starts to clear up by 2.2 and fantastic sharpness at 2.8. Though my only complaint is unless your on a full frame 50 mm can be a little tight for my only prime and wish I had gone with a wider lens

I got this lens because I hear so much about it. I put it on my eos 70D and it really shoots a clear picture. I shoot alot of urban and landscapes. I think it's going to do the job well. I was amazed at the picture quality just shooting around the house.

I have only used the item a hadnful of times and am excited to use it in photo shoots. This lense was termed as a must have for any photographer who shoots portrait shots; it received high recommendations. Best Buy service was very friendly and helpful.

I use this lens for a lot of macro photography and portraits. It's adorably small and such a durable quality. It feels nice in your hands as you place it on your camera and overall, it's such a nifty camera.

I bought this lens with an canon lens adopter to use with my canon M50 camera to take pictures for my wedding and it delivered some quality sharp pictures you would think a professional took them.

This is a great starter or basic lens and is helping me be able to take better pictures of my family. I am currently attempting to learn more about taking pictures and photography and this lens is good for that purpose. As I learn more I will upgrade but so far the picture quality difference between this and a standard lens is awesome. I wish you could zoom with the lens but as I stated its a starter lens. I recommend.

I was looking for a great lense to use on my YouTube channel, and this lense gave me a great depth effect. My background was perfectly blurred while my subject stayed nice and sharp. This is definitely a staple item for anyone taking photos or videos

The lense takes photos so pretty and with the canon eos rebel t7 are so good.

One of the best bang-for-your-buck lenses you'll ever get. Excellent for portraits and other similar work. Great bokeh with its 1.8 aperture and good for beginners learning composition.

Like they say, the nifty 50 is a must have lens for both the beginner, and, seasoned Photographer. Results will vary based on the way you use your camera, but, whether you use auto or manual settings this lens will produce good shots.

I encourage you to read reviews and check YouTube videos on this product vs. the other versions. The metal casing on this 1.8 STM feels solid and the gearing is quiet/smooth. Takes amazing shots! I recommend tracking down the lens hood (ES-68) to prevent flares.

A inexpensive lense that is exceptional with taking quality pictures.

I now know why they call it the nifty fifty. This lens is awesome and I highly recommend it

Amazing lens that takes beautiful photos. Only downfall being that there is no zoom with it being a prime lens but the sharpness it produces is worth the trade.

Great but easy to use and very sharp great for beginners

This is a great 'little' lens and is a must if you shoot any type of portrait or low light scenes. I've used it at Jazz fest., evening nights on the lake and still life and landscape shots. All of which were enhanced with the EF 50mm f/1.8.

LOVE this lense I bought for my photography business.
