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 an all purpose fixed length lens that is great for separating background from foreground (portraits, etc). Nothing fancy about it, but it allows a faster shutter speed, which is nice. The ONLY concern I have is that I photograph models with it and at 50mm I have to stand back about 15 or more feet to get a full body shot, and more if she's tall. I don't always have that much room when shooting indoors so beware of that.
