    I got this for my Canon RP camera that initially came with the 24-105mm lense, which is a great lense, but nothing compared to this 50mm lense. The photos this lense puts out are so detailed and vibrant in comparison to the 24-105mm. Not to mention it’s a fantastic cost. Can’t recommend this lense enough for anyone with a compatible camera.

    Great lens for the price! This focal length is my personal favorite for portrait photography. I spent so much on the R6 camera body, I couldn't afford to go all out for an expensive lens, so I opted for this one because I was used to using the 50mm 1.8 on my Rebel t6i camera body. I love it! It's a great lens if you're on a budget!

    It's a Nifty Fifty

    It's a nifty fifty, and offers a great value in the otherwise expensive RF lens system. The image quality is excellent, even at f/1.8, though the corners are a little soft at the wide open aperture. The reason this earns 4 instead of 5 stars is due to two reasons. The first is it suffers from focus breathing. Additionally, the auto-focus motor is noisy, though fast and precise. If you've only ever shot on a kit lens, throw this into your camera kit with its low price and you will be very thankful you have it!

    RF “Nifty-Fifty” for those with a budget

    If you’re on a budget with your Canon RF mount camera, pick this “nifty-fifty” up. It’s a no brainer. So it doesn’t have IS. Use a tripod. Or purchase that big pricey lens ;) It’s a tool for those on a budget (and those that aren’t). And if you’re focused on composition and attention to detail in your movement, etc like you should be, you can create outstanding video/images with this lens. Don’t overthink you gear. Focus on your craft. Get it.

    Great walk around lens. It’s actually sharper than the 50mm 1.4 EF version which is nice. Easy recommend for people on a budget.

    Good lens for its cost love how small and inconspicuous it is a 50mm so you do have to give a bit of distance which can get tricky if it’s crowded but it’s great for it’s versatility if you’re starting off this lens is awesome to find what you love to do

    Another great nifty 50mm from Canon. A way better option that the current kit lenses in terms of image sharpness and background blur.
