    This was a recommended lens on a photography blog/website I follow. I was able to get it on sale and tried it out right away. I'm new to the DSLR level of cameras but this little lens is going to be fun to play with. Very happy with my purchase.

    This nifty fifty is a GREAT purchase for those on a budget. although it won’t get you that crazy “bokeh” effect, like a 1.2 or 1.4 would, this is still a great investment and addiction to any starting photog’s bag.

    Absolutely love this lens! The images are so much sharper than my other lens. Minot crazy about how much it is zoomed in already compared to other lens but if you have room to move around and back up from your subject it's great

    As usual, our focus (pardon the pun) is on Canon products for their superior quality and performance. Once again this holds true of this excellent lens, which is great for the price. Clarity and ease of use is excellent.

    Bought this lens at the request of my daughter for Christmas. She is getting into photography and wanted something that improves the quality of taking pictures of things that are moving, such as sporting events. She says it works well.

    Was looking for this one after purchasing Canon 6d mark II, to start with exploring and as beginner I found to be the best lens to start with indoor and some landscape photography.

    For the cheapest lens in Canon's EF lineup, this one is a very good value. Doesn't have the cheap feel of some of the other lenses, and while it is a far cry from an L lens, the picture quality is pretty good.

    Love it! Tested it by taking pics of the babies, a Chihuahua, and dingo mix. Pictures look amazing and definitely tell the difference between this lens and the one the camera came with. Definitely recommend it for portraits!
