    I love this lens. I truly understand why people call it the nifty fifty. The staff at Best Buy were also very helpful and knowledgeable.

    Nice nifty fifty to have in the bag for selection of lens choice. I have been mirrorless for a while now, using an adapter to use all of my current EF lens. Wanted to start off small with this lens to see quality in difference without that adapter. It does good for a little prime lens!

    Best lense for portraits. I loved it and its really nice and sharp n very small. Loved using it in NYC but sometimes had difficulties taking building pictures considering its 50 mm other than that 50 MM produced some great sharp, great portraits. Nice anr crisp bokeh on my RP.

    This a lean, mean 50mm! It's sooo tiny, I can always bring it along any time. 1.8 means gorgeous shots, I don't know why you wouldn't have this as a staple prime.

    I’ll first say if you’re questioning the purchase of this lense - just buy it. For the price it’s the perfect and necessary addition to your kit. My only issue is The focal plane on this lense vs my original nifty fifty seems a lot more narrow when shooting large aperture. This was a known issue before purchasing but it takes a little more getting use to than I was expecting. Slightest movement wide open will yield in off focus on specific areas you want. Overall it’s a great lense and once you get use to the focus wide open it’s the perfect lense. Once you start getting into f2.8 and smaller that issue doesn’t seem to exist as bad.

    I opted to get this instead of the adapter for my existing Ef 50mm lens and I’m glad I did. It sharp, and affordable for such a great lens.

    Great nifty fifty for a steal of a price, f 1.8 is a little soft but gives some great results none the less, for what you pay its a great lens.

    Nice bokeh and sharpness for the money. In some areas, this seems to be on par with the 1.2 50mm. Obviously not going to be similar on all aspects, considering this lens is about a 10th of the price, but it’s still a great lens.

    The nifty fifty is the best cheap prime lens for portraits. Not as good as an L-series f/1.2 of course, but so much cheaper and more portable. This is a must-have for any casual shooter or hobbyist using a Canon R-series mirrorless camera.

    Do yourself a favor and get this. All the reviews are true, this lens is amazing. Just make sure to stand far enough away from the subject. Just search for sample photos and that is what you will be able to go.
