Compact in size, easy for transport. Has a low fstop so you get good background blur and awesome low light quality. Tight fit on camera and hard, durable build quality. Best lens I own!

This lens took some getting used to since it is a prime lens but I recently learned back button focusing which has made a huge difference when using this lens! Love the 1.8 aperture setting!!

This is great lens for anyone just getting started with photography. It’s a decent focal length for portraits, landscapes and all around any type of photo. Fast aperture great for exposures in low light or shallow depth of field for portraits. Even experienced photographers probably have this in their kit just because of its size and versatility and generally good quality. Can’t go wrong with this lens.

This lens is an excellent entry into adding lenses to your kit. On Canon DSLRs with cropped sensors the focal length is effectively 80-85+/-. This isn't a prime lens, but for the $$ it is a total no brainer.

Solid Lens for the Price

Purchased this as a complement to a Canon Rebel kit set. The picture quality for the price is phenomenal. Since it is an EF lens and I'm using it on an APS-C body, the effective focal length is approximately 80mm, which makes it tough to use in tight spaces. That being said, when there's plenty of available room to work with, it makes a fine portrait lens. I have absolutely zero regrets.

I love my 50mm lens! It takes great photos and has great focus. It’s not quite the same as the $1500 option with the f1.2 but for just over $100 you can’t go wrong with this one!

I feel if you need an affordable 50mm lens for your camera, this is the one to get. There's another one that's better but costs more. I went with this one & I'm glad I did.

This is one of my favorite lenses. I tend to have this on my camera at all times. Great for portraits, but not for landscapes (since there is no zoom). I did read other reviews before purchasing.

can not go wrong with this purchase. you capture what your eyes sees without distortions of any kind. You get an amazing f1.8 which is super for low light captures and, in addition, you get a wonderful bokeh.
