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 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!

    My son does automotive photography and he says this lens is perfect for the job. You definitely need to buy a circular polarizer for it but other than that, he says you're good to go.

    It's easy to get sidetracked with the complexity surrounding lenses. So it was with a bit of trepidation that I purchased this lens. No need to worry - it takes shockingly good pictures.

    This lens is great for beginners and hobbyist. Price is great especially if you have rewards to use on it. Pictures are very clear and crisp. Lens is very well built and size makes it easy to carry or fit into any bag. It takes some getting used to because it's wider than the usual kit zoom lenses that cameras usually come with. But with practice you can achieve a lot with this lens.

    I’m no professional but I’m tire of “editing” pics to get that bokeh look. Did some research and it shows that this lens does it in one shot. I’ve just purchased it month April 2020 and hadn’t really had much time with it yet so I can’t really say. One con about this lens is u can’t zoom in/out keep that in mind.

    This lens is highly recommended for any new photographer or one kn a budget. It might be the cheapest canon lens but it is definitely one of the best. It made me a much better photographer because I had to move my body instead of zooming. It's also great in low light or when you want a lot of background blur. Only downfall is it's not as sharp as an L lens but for the money you can't complain
