Customers are saying

Customers recognize the excellent image quality as a major strength of the product. They also appreciate its impressive macro capabilities, wide aperture, and good value, along with its manageable weight, size, versatility, and strong low light performance. However, a minor point of concern is the lack of weather sealing.

    This lens creates beautiful images, a little slow to focus but at a fraction of the price of other lenses it’s still a great buy. Super lightweight and ideal for daily use.

    Great lens -- fun to use on the Canon RP with the manual focusing indicator bar on the screen in Live View. The depth-of-field grows significantly with small changes in distance-to-subject and aperture, so there's a learning curve, but it's actually kinda thrilling, having only ever used 100-105mm macro lenses, where the DOF is minimal. Lens is super-compact and has become my walk-around lens since I bought it!

    Initially, I was hesitant to buy this for my R7 due to the crop factor, however, I went against the grain and wont turn back. This lens is amazing for portrait photographers and is crisp and clear and the large aperature gives it that perfect background effect.

    Perfect lense for every day shooting. Cannon glass is the absolute best. On my R7 the autofocus was a bit off but I managed to correct it in the settings.

    Great lens! If you’re using it for video, consider adjusting your camera’s autofocus settings to improve AF speed. As a macro lens, it can occasionally struggle to maintain video focus in challenging lighting conditions, such as backlit scenes. The image stabilizer performs exceptionally well, making it an excellent choice for handheld video work.

    This is the perfect travel lens for me mounted to the EOS R body. It is compact and fast and produces a nice bokeh. With the EOS R it is a good travel alternative to my 5D MkIV+ EF 35mm F1.4. I only wish it came with a lens hood. I'm going to try some aftermarket solutions. Price is very good for what this lens can do.

    I own a 24 mm 2.8 a nifty 50 and this lens and I’ve grown in love with the look and sharpness of this lens. It’s a must but especially for the price just remember it ISNT weather sealed.

    High quality superb lens!!!!!!!! This little guy is great. The autofocus is fast and the new control ring is a huge bonus. It’s not that much of a difference from the original EF canon 50mm 1.8 but it’s great to mount on my canon eos R6 without the adapter. Love it!!!

    Great for portraits, with a little extra wideness. Fantastic quality and at a great price! Definitely one to add to the collection if you’re a portrait photographer.
