    I upgraded from the stock 18-45mm lens with the canon R-50 and i can say this is an amazing upgrade an very much worth the price. I am an new to photography and was looking for something with a nice portrait blur and I got exactly that! Took some photos right after getting home to test it out

    Great Lens. Cant wait to try the 35mm. It would probably be better to go straight to the RF 35mm.

    As a nifty fifty it is exactly that, not expensive or extravagant. It’s a great beginner lens to get a feel for how to shoot under different conditions manipulating the aperture.i used the lens for studio shoot just to see how it would perform and overall it did a great job. It’s not as sharp as an “L” lens but that’s obvious by the price.

    I love this lens! It’s the PERFECT lens if you’re starting out and want to learn, without dropping BREAD on the big lenses. I definitely recommend! This 1.8 is a TRUE BEAUTY! The auto focus can be funky sometimes but you can learn to work around it.
