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.

    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.

    Decided to invest in a camera because I didn't wanna buy a phone every year for a new camera, I have an canon M50 and this lense was the most requested and highly respected. The pictures are so crisp with this lense, the focus is unbelievable. Cant wait to purchase more lenses.
