    Great Kenya. Love the lightness of it and its responsiveness with my R6 MIi. A very nice budget lens.

    I have had two different Canon EF 50mm lenses in the past. Both were great lenses for the money. This lens is even better! I am impressed with the detail this lens provides as well as the quickness and quietness of the focus motor. I really can't believe that there is a better lens for a better price.

    This lens is awesome. Super sharp. Portraits look amazing. The perfect portrait lens. Auto focus is not the fastest, but who cares if you are using for portraits. Get it while its on sale. Its worth every penny.

    The nifty 50. How anyone could ever live without this lens baffles me. I'm glad that Canon came out with an inexpensive standard prime lens to complement their new mirrorless series. I've been using mine primarily at f/8 and it is every bit as good or better than the EF equivalent.

    Excellent quality. Beautiful images. My only complaint is the STM does not focus as fast as USM. But would it be worth an additional $2800 for the 50mm 1.2 because it has faster focus? Probably not, maybe if you are a professional that charges high dollar.

    For the price, it’s a fine lens! It’s not the best build IMO but I do understand it’s a nifty-fifty. Image quality is sharp, autofocus is very good. The chromatic aborations from this lens can be a bit unruly to manage and correct but most people won’t even notice unless you are a photo editor. As a consumer lens, this lens would cover most of the bases for a standard focal length lens.

    This little lens is a BEAST. The Nifty 50 never fails. This RF addition is super sharp, not as sharp as my 85mm 1.2 but a quarter of the price. I highly recommend it if you are on the fence. Very fast focusing

    This is a great basic lens to have for any level of photographer. It is still the only lens I have right now, but it works fine for what I do. I mainly shoot dog photos at events for fun, and I always still get great photos.
