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.

    This lens was better than I expected. It captures light really well in dark settings or at night even with a quick shutter speed. Great for night portraits!!! I don't mind that it has no zoom because I enjoy using it for portraits anyway. I already recommended it to friends :)

    Used it on my Canon Rebel SL3. I have yet to take portraits with it as my original intention, but it’s very sharp and clear. Focuses great! Worth every penny. 10/10 lens. 5/5 star review.

    Great for portraits and capturing literally the eyes’ view. You move where you want the picture taken. Very impressed with the overall quality and ability to have the focus points changed compared to other lenses that don’t let as much light in.

    Although I’m still learning how to use my camera, this lens is a nice, sturdy basic lens that seems to have a decent field of vision.
