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 purchased this lens for indoor daytime shooting without the use of a flash. Works very well especially considering the price.

    Best Value Bargan Better Build Quality Quiet, Quicker Focus Sharp, super small and portable STM Focus upgrade is quieter full time manual override. Purchased this lens for my first Full Frame Canon Camera , a used Canon 5D. I'm not a professional and I needed an EF Prime lens for my collection and this fit my needs perfectly.

    Camera 101. Get a 50mm prime lens. This is so much photo goodness for probably the cheapest you will ever spend on a canon lens at a retail store.

    Using the Best Buy app, I purchased this for my little cousin. I saw it was available at my nearest store and was able to pick it up in the hour. Easy in and easy out. Her mom had also bought the Canon camera from Best Buy. Showing a big interest into her photography, I wanted to help encourage her pursuits. Now I get sent great photos of family, friends, and everything else.

    This lens is definitely a must have. It doesn't fall short from its f1.4 counterpart. Nicely built, small enough to keep in a sweater pocket.
