I bought this to replace my EF-50 1.8 II, thinking it would be silent and focus noises wouldn't be evident in the recordings. Alas, the focus noises are lessened, but still audible in the on camera mic. They are quieter when the camera is in video mode, and the focusing is smoother, but I don't know that I would have bought the lens if I had known it. If you don't, and have a Canon DSLR, it is a no-brainer purchase.

Great special use lens for portraits. Great blur of background while subjects remain in clear focus.
Zoom is a bit much for group photos, but it works if you have enough distance between you and the subject.

This lens has so many improvements from Canons previous nifty fifty that it's totally worth the upgrade, and it IS an upgrade. Honestly, after renting the pricier 1.4, I went with the new STM 1.8. It's just THAT good.

I love this lens! The only thing I didn't realize until after I bought it was I own a camera that is not full frame so it acts more like an 85mm lens. But it still takes beautiful pictures. Very happy.

Took many photos on my last cruise. Was totally amazed with the low light shots I took as well as daytime photos. Crisp and clear shots. Much better than my 18-55mm lens that came with the DSLR

This is a must have lens for someone that has a compatible Canon DSLR camera. This is excellent for my T3i to take photos with lower lighting, and for portraits. beautiful boca effects for portraits!
