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.

    Shoots great in photoshoot situations. Works awesome for video. No zoom, so it is great to use when you're shooting in a room. It is my favorite lense and my go to.

    This is a go to lens. A must have in anyone's arsenal. Complements the Canon 70d and Rebel well, light weight small, compact and doesn't take up much room in the bag.

    It is awesome for close up/closer distance pics with that beautiful blurred background. I take lots of indoor shots so this lightens the shot which is what I needed!
