    Purchased this to pair with my R6. Just wanted to see how a native RF lens would work with the camera. I was using the adapter with my L lenses. This nifty 50 is insanely sharp and fast!! I wasn’t expecting these results for this price. It has me considering going all RF mounts at this point. But this lens. You won’t regret it!!

    Can’t beat the quality for the price. First lense I picked up with my switch to mirrorless and would do so again.

    Greta for portrait photography if you’re not wanting to spend a whole lot, but still get that quality of a great portrait photo. Always an additional to add to the collection because it’s very versatile.

    I purchased this lens to pair with my R5, when I don’t want or need to drag along my bigger RF 24-70mm f/2.8 L Lens. It does a great job and the size is perfect.

    One of the most inexpensive lenses in the RF line, this is pretty much a no brainer to buy. It basically sees what the human eye sees, so those are the shots you can expect. Works great on my EOS R8.

    It’s a good lens. It’s just not the quality I’d expect from a Canon product. The lens is functional and easy to use and attach to the camera.
