    This was my first lens purchase to have something other than my kit lenses. I have been very happy with it and have really appreciated the bigger aperture capabilities.

    This is a great affordable prime lens. The 50mm length is used often in portraits and the price point of the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM is reasonable for the shallow depth of focus it provides.

    They call it the nifty fifty for a reason! I mostly use it for portraits! The f1.8 gives a beautiful background blur. It's my first prime lens and it's great, especially at only $125!

    This lens is amazing. It's always on my camera. Focus is really quick and quiet. One of the main reasons I got this was for the bokeh effect it has and I was not disappointed.

    I love this lens. I use it on a T7i so it magnifies a little extra due to it being a full frame lens on a crop sensor camera. Excellent for portraits!
