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 is probably the best lens you can get for this price especially if you're a beginner.

    I'm still getting used to this lens. I think it's great and great from training your eye and composition but is still not my "go to lens" like many said it would be. It is completely worth the price and the quality is excellent, like all of my canon products.

    For the price, this lens really can't be beaten. Great portrait lens with excellent picture quality. Feels well made. Only complaint is that the focusing motor is a little too loud (compared to other Canon lenses).
