Customer Ratings & Reviews

The quality of the lens is better than I expected and works very well for portrait photos considering the price.

This lens should be in anyone's camera bag. It's a great light weight travel friendly lens

Always a great experience shopping at Best Buy. The lens is fantastic and just what I needed for my camera. Great for adding background blurry while shooting pictures.

I bought this lens because I wanted something that'd create a nice bokeh for portraits and the price was perfect. I did have to return it because my camera has and crop sensor and made it to a bit harder to use indoors. I had to keep stepping back and sometimes, there wasn't room to step back. But for outdoor photos where I had lots of room, it worked great.

This is a great basic lens to have. It works very well. I am very pleased with how my photos taken with this lens turn out. This lens even works pretty well in dim lighting.

This lens is perfect for all my needs. The mechanics work seamlessly and quietly. It squeaked a little bit when focusing at first but now it's soundless. Perfect.

It was very well packed and exactly what I ordered. Great lens for simple product photography and stills.

A nice normal lens that doesn't break the bank. Being an STM lens it is a great improvement over a plain USM lens for video.Like to see more of these lenses in the future.

This lens was purchased to assist with product photography and has provided better than expected quality.

Being a nifty fifty, this lens is a basic requirement for almost every photographer. Much better than the previous f1.8. This new version is very quiet and much more smooth.

This is a great lens! I wish I would have gotten it a long time ago, it’s great for taking portraits.

I been looking to buy a lens that would give my that perfect studio looking portrait. This canon lens is just perfect!

This v2 of the famous nifty-fifty. Is a really and sharp lens considering the price. You can't go wrong with this. It will make nice bookeh and is great lens for portrait.

Quality is very good. My wife loves using it taking photos for our child!

I have owned 3 of these lenses. They provide good image quality and are inexpensive. The only real downside is that they are rather fragile as they are made of plastic housing. I have broken two previously (the only camera lenses I have ever broken). One broke after being dropped only a few inches.

A very cool lens for the price. Definitely a small upgrade from the lens that comes with the camera

Just learning photography, great lens for landscapes, and gives you great blurry background in portraits. Just a fantastic lens.

Great nifty fifty lense!! Especially for photographers! Highly recommend

I love this lens! It's perfect for portraits and full body pictures. It creates a nice bokeh effect! definitely a must for a beginner, and anyone that loves photography.

This lens was recommended by the teacher during a camera class my wife took. Excellent for capturing pictures of our family inside and in lower light conditions.
