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.

    I wanted a lens where I can take crisp action shots of basketball games, as well as portraits and this lens delivers it all! I don't even have to do much editing. Vibrant color, crisp shots, a great lens all around for a great price!

    I love this lens. I practiced using by taking pictures of my wife and my Halloween decorations. The pictures had great focus and a beautiful blur behind the subject. Its a must have for the camera bag.

    The revised Canon 50mm is a nice improvement from the prior model - with a larger (and more quiet) focus ring and better auto-focus (along with sharp photos and a great price) - this one lens any photographer should not be without.

    This lens is great for personal photography, especially when I want to keep my kit small and mobile. The focal length is a bit tight for room shots, but great for candids and casual portraits with family and friends.

    Bought this for my wife since she didn’t have one that would capture human eye quality. She loves using this lens and I find her using it more than the bigger lens the cañón camera came with.

    This is my first lens purchase for my DSLR. It's fast, bright, and crisp. I use it for closeups and portraits. I love the blurred background effect. It is so light and minimizes the profile of my Canon!

    I owned the non stm version before, this one is much better! Very clear photos, awesome for low light, and the autofocus works much better, and is extremely quiet! Definitely an upgrade and everyone needs one for their kit!
