Customer Ratings & Reviews

New to photography & was only using kit lens so this blew me away. Great picture quality, focus takes a while to hit target but it’ll do

Love this 50mm lens! Love the sharpness of it and the bokeh effect it gives.

Finally got this for my EOS R, the quality is excellent for the price. Makes using the R so much easier without the EF adapter. The 1.8 aperture compensates for the lack of stabilization, the lens remains very sharp even when wide open.

Its a good lens to have in the camera bag! I would definitely recommend!

Not a perfect lens but well worth the price. Definitely a workhorse. Good for any hobbyist

In my portrait photography workflow, I frequently utilize this lens, which I affectionately refer to as my “Nifty 50.”

Beautiful lens at good price. Great for portraits, pet pictures and even landscapes with a little creativity. Pin sharp focus great bokeh- pretty much what you would expect but at $199 great value

Results were sharper and much better bokeh as compared to the kit lens included with my Canon R50. There is a considerable crop when using on an APSC sensor, and this does make it hard to use indoors. Great place to start due to the affordable price.

Great buy-for my new R8 shows excellent clarity easy to use. Great quality

Truely a great lense and great for beginners like me. Makes you move to get the shot you want and the images come out looking sharp

I LOVE THIS LENS!!! The price point is reasonable as well and it's lightweight and compact. If you're thinking about buying this, don't think just do it!

This lens is pretty sharp and I’m surprised. You def get your moneys worth.

Best bang for the buck. Sharp, fast, great DOF. Am I describing the $2700 85/1.2? Nope, the 50/1.8 that's $2500 CHEAPER. Just get it, you'll find more and more uses for it on your R-body Canon.

For the price, the nifty 50 is always great. Shooting action in low light environments this is a good value choice. Soon the 1.2 but for now, you can beat the price

Great photos from a relatively budget fixed lens. Great for depth of focus shots or portrait photography, especially if you need the extra light from the high aperture.

I was very shocked at the quality of the lens for this price! I definitely see why it is called the Nifty Fifty since you get great quality at a great price point!

Great lens for portraits. Definitely recommend for anyone

Great lens for family portraits and still shots. Not really ideal for everyday shooting. offers great contrast and depth.

Absolutely hands down best lens fornthe price the low Apature on this lens is so good at 50mm

The ‘Nifty-fifty’, ‘Fantastic plastic” or whatever you want to call it is STILL the go-to portrait lens for millions of photographers. Can’t EVER go wrong!
