    Nifty Fifty is back and better than ever

    The nifty fifty is back and better than ever! Compared to the EF version, the build quality is way nicer. The lens feels good in your hand while still being light for a great walk around option. As you’d expect, focus is a little slow compared to the faster 50mm options, but still faster (and quieter) than the EF version of this. Focus hunting has been reduced as well from the EF version with this lens nailing focus more often, even wide open. At all aperture ranges the lens is sharp, even wide open, but I notice the closer you get to 1.8 you’ll start to see a bit more chromatic aberration. Overall highly recommend for the price! 4/5 just due to the CA and slower / missed focusing in low light. (Again, still way better than original nifty)

    Another Great Canon Lens, the Canon RF50mm f/1.8 S

    This is really a great Canon prime lens. The STM motor focuses fast and the pictures are great. I highly recommend this lens, and the price is awesome for this 1.8 lens. Nice background blur as well. The 1.2 is nearly ten times the price, and I can barely tell the difference in the pictures (except in very low light).

    Surprisingly good lens

    Considering the price, this lens is actually pretty good. Since the lens was so much cheaper than other lenses, I thought it may not be all that great; but I’m impressed. An L glass lens would probably be a lot better, but the pictures do come out great and you can’t beat the price. The build quality of the lens seems fairly cheap, but I’d imagine if you take care of your stuff in general then it’ll be fine. If you’re looking for a decent cheap lens, I’d definitely recommend.

    Great Lens for Shooting Indoors in Low Light

    I bought this lens for the lower aperture when shooting bands or in other situations indoors, where I cannot use a flash. It has worked well so far and it is nice and little so it is easy to add to my bag.

    For the price point this is an amazing starter and intermediate lens without spending 1k+ on the 1.2 version. The most versatile prime lens you could own and ultra compact, Sharp and beautiful images produced by it, definitely worth adding to your kit.

    Very fast focusing especially when paired with an rf mount camera body. Takes full advantage of the new in-body stabilization on the r5/r6. STM still a bit behind USM and Nano USM in terms of precision and makes a small amount of noise in video but for a tenth of the price, it can't be beat!

    Super good lense

    This lense is very good, it is specially good do record details up close for videos. Moreover it is very good for pictures and videos. It’s autofocus is also a very attractive feature of this product. The only thing that one could critique is that it has a 50 zoom and doesnt let you zoom out or zoom in. It is only 50 zoom, but taking into consideration it is one of the cheapest for $200 its not even a problem.

    The RF 50mm is sharper with a very fast auto focus that has passed my expectations that was set out for it to be! For the price point of $200 its definitely the cheapest RF lens that anyone will get their hands on. super light like the EF version.
