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 tried the Yongnuo 50mm and it was okay for a few years, but once the kids got older and started moving faster the autofocus just couldn’t keep up. The Canon version does everything better and doesn’t break the bank. I got mine from Best Buy because I had some gift cards.

    This is by far one of my favorite lenses to use with my T6i. After using the 1.4 I felt that I was getting better/sharper photos with this lense than the 50mm 1.4. Save yourself some money and buy these lense.

    Great sense for the price. Excellent image quality, honestly - with the photos I get from this, I can't see spending more for the 1.4 or 1.2 versions of the 50mm. Just doesn't make sense. Focus is extremely fast, very sharp images.
