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 has made close up pictures really easy and professional looking. The focal point is severely focused in the center and the background is properly blurred. I love taking pictures of people & animals with this lens.
