    Great lens and even better price. I got this for my R10. I should have went with the 35mm. My R10 has APS-C sensor which makes this 50mm more like 85mm.

    I'm using this lens with Eos RP and its working very well. The lens motor is a bit noisy and it takes some time if you change the focus otherwise its a good lens for this price range.

    It is a great budget lens but I got a EF to R lens mount. Now I can still use my older nifty 50mm. Instead I got the 35mm 1.8 with macro for almost the same price.

    Excellent lens for a fifth of the price of the RF 1.2 L lens. I’d give it five stars, but it’s not weather sealed.
