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.

    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!

    This lens is amazing. And the cost is very low compared to other lenses of the same caliber. I've been using it for a couple months and love it. I highly recommend it.

    Clean Shots Killer Lens

    Awesome lens for the money. Stm motor is smooth, optics are super clean and sharp, build quality is mediocre at best. This lens will deliver when it counts. I got it for outdoor portraits and on the fly stuff. It's small, light, portable. I would recommend getting this lens over more expensive models if you travel a lot and really need to optimize your space or there is a possibility of damage, you need a quick lens that won't weigh you down, or you really want to break into the portrait scene. It's an easy first step for beginning photographers to really understand their camera and their capabilities.
