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.

    This is a great little lens. I wanted to expand my repertoire of lenses and this was a great addition. I have had it for over a year and it has greatly exceeded my expectations.

    This is my first prime lens and it is a great addition for my Canon EOS T7i. Pictures are clear and have great detail. Autofocus is fast and quiet. For the price it is a great value.

    This is a good portrait lens on a crop sensor camera. It doesn’t take up too much room. It does focus decently on a static subject in the right light and it will give you some nice bokeh. So it makes nice sharp portraits. In low light it’s performance is subpar. All in all for a hobbyist or a beginner it’s a great lens to learn with especially at its low price point!

    The 50mm lens is incredible quality at an unbeatable price. I use it on my Canon 70d & the photos are amazing. If you're looking for a versatile lens that is reasonably priced, this one is highly recommended!

    I always carry this lens in my bag in case I want to take photos of faces. It stays right at 50mm so I have to move around to frame the picture, but I get nice faces and blurry backgrounds.
